On Saturday, February 10, UFC will host its second pay-per-view event of the year. UFC 221 will feature Olympic silver medalist Yoel Romero and the division’s former ruler Luke Rockhold in the headlining fight of the evening. The event is taking place at the Perth Arena in Perth, Australia. Middleweight champion Robert Whittaker was originally supposed to be paired off against Rockhold but was unable to perform because of an injury, giving space for Romero to take his place. The night will also feature events from Mark Hunt against Curtis Blaydes, and Australia’s Tai Tuivasa, Jake Matthews and Tyson Pedro vs. Cyril Asker, Li Jingling and Saparbek Safarov respectively.
Considering the two headliners make an intriguing matchup, both coming in with a history of wins, this fight will be an easy one to get excited about.
