It’s UFC 225 fight week, which means it’s time to start things off by focusing on the two title fights taking place on Saturday night in Chicago, Illinois. The main event sees a rematch between Robert Whittaker and Yoel Romero, only this time it’s for Whittaker’s middleweight title, as opposed to last year when Whittaker won the interim belt vs. Romero. In the co-main event, Rafael dos Anjos faces Colby Covington for the interim welterweight title.
