5 Best Robert Whittaker fights in the UFC

#5 Yoel Romero

Yoel Romero could not hold back Robert Whittaker

Yoel Romero is known for being one of the best and one of the more controversial fighters to have ever entered the UFC Octagon. Known for dispatching his opponents with both ruthlessness and precision, entering the Octagon with him is not a prospect that too many people would look forward to.

But, that's exactly what Robert Whittaker was doing prior to their fight at UFC 213. Whittaker was finally getting the shot at the Interim Middleweight Championship that he had always wanted, and he was not about to let Yoel Romero get in his way.

When the two of them met inside the Octagon, Whittaker was more than prepared for everything that Romero would bring to the table. Not only was he prepared, but he also had answers of his own.

He countered every move that was thrown at him by Romero, and at the end of the night, he was standing tall, having won the fight via Decision and holding the Interim (soon to be Undisputed) Middleweight Championship.
