UFC 225 is in the books, and the main event saw an all-out war between Robert Whittaker and Yoel Romero that forced each man to dig deep. The co-headliner had Colby Covington winning the interim welterweight title after edging Rafael dos Anjos, with judges favoring control and pressure over better, cleaner power shots from distance.
Also on the card, CM Punk was completely dominated and outclassed by Mike Jackson in his second, and probably final, UFC bout.
