The UFC 221 main event could not have gone any better for Yoel Romero.
And despite missing weight, and not getting an interim world title on Saturday night, Romero is confirmed as the next UFC middleweight title challenger.
Dana White confirmed on Saturday night that Romero has earned a chance at redemption against the only man to defeat him in the UFC, UFC champion Robert Whittaker.
Always a classy competitor, following his knockout over Luke Rockhold, Romero exited Luke’s space and celebrated his win.
Once Luke was awake, and helped up to his feet, Romero came over to him and gave him a big kiss … No Joke!
For his part, Rockhold did not look interested in Romero’s gesture… at all.
If pictures can say 1000 words, what does Luke’s expression tell you?
