Dana White: Romero will fight Whittaker next.

[Dramovitch]

Asked Dana White if plan is to have Yoel Romero fight Robert Whittaker next, despite the fact he didn't win an interim title tonight.

Answer: "Yes."

 

[VVarhead]

Good.

 

[Emjay]

Round and round, round we go!

Interim belt was meaningless then

 

[KeepItRealist]

Any word on when Whittaker might be ready to fight?

 

[subhuman trash]

Good. The Whittaker fight was way too close.

 

[Soul On Ice]

Duh


Who else would he fight, Dana?

 

[DetachedOrchid]

Damn. Their first fight was shit IMO.

Rob gets a rematch if he loses probably...fuck that.

 

[Willek]

Any word on when Whittaker might be ready to fight?

He apparently is competing at the Commonwealth Games in April.

Awesome fight and rematch. Just sucks cause this fight might not happen for a while. Romero’s leg looks pretty bad, and Whittaker is on the shelf and we don’t know when he’s coming back.
Wish both a speedy recovery.

Hope this happens by summer.

Amazing KO by Romero tonight.

Whittaker takes the rematch though.

I definitely thought Jacare won his split decision loss to Yoel, so its a bummer he's getting cast aside again here.

I'd much rather see Whittaker fight someone new as opposed to an immediate rematch with Yoel.

You shouldn't lose to the champion, win one fight where you missed weight by several lbs, then rematch the champ.

 

[Death By Samson]

What a clusterfuck.

 

[Bumblebeef]

that was a legit finnish and i think romero will put on a different peformance the next time against whittaker

Mid year he said last week.

Ironically, it looks like Romero might have a leg injury now.

Interim title fight between Israel and Bisping in London?

<Oku02>

 

[Jawth]

I still wanna see Yoel KO Bisping tbh

 

[Kingz]

Lol, no point in showing up on weight then.

And doing his make up.
