thank you whittaker.

Bobby's the man, good on him.

Still think Overweight Yoel wins this one by KO.

 

[MM808]

IF Romero agrees to it. Still tbd

Dammit Robert, I get wanting to please the fans but a precedence must be set, he'll have missed weight his last 2 fights.

I get it it won't be for the title which I think is a pity considering Romero is only 100 bloody grams above weight. But rules are rules I suppose.

If Romero wins this one I would consider him as the champ and Whittaker should be granted an immediate rematch. On the other hand if he loses he should be getting no TS for a long time, if ever again.

Cite your sources, don't just say words.

 

[Kertol]

Hopefully still 5 rounds.

 

[Fahrenheit1221]

Yes, but only Whittaker can leave with the title, right?

 

[BjPenn2017]

Were people really doubting Whittaker taking this fight over .2 of a pound when he fought Yoel with a bum knee the first time around? Hilarious if so lol

 

[Moral Victory]

Thanks Rob.

 

[podsox]

Sounds like it is according to ariel and Luke. They are still negotiating though

 

[RoyJonesJr]

Probably not knowing what a shit show UFC has become

Don't get your hopes up, thats all Im saying

This is a selfless act for the fans who wanted to see him fight. Whitaker is heading to GSP class act status. I wouldn't have faulted Bobby if he declined the fight.

He could have refused. There is nothing to gain for him in that fight.

Romero missed weight so if they cancelled this fight I doubt they would schedule another rematch. So Whittaker would keep his belt and face another opponent next.
