Robert Whittaker Injured: Rockhold vs Romero for Interim Title
Just when things were getting cleared up and the Middleweight division was getting back in business, champion Robert Whittaker is out with an injury and won't fight Rockhold at UFC 221. He's been ruled medically unfit so this is a legit injury no doubt, might even be the same injury Romero caused, which would be very ironic.
Instead, Rockhold will fight none other than Yoel Romero for an Interim belt. I don't know what's funnier, that Yoel is getting another Interim title fight on the back of the first one he lost to Whittaker, or that Luke Rockhold now has to fight Romero, a fight he turned down a while ago.
Meanwhile David Branch lost a potential dance partner in Romero...
