Picking & Grinning: UFC 213 ‘Romero vs. Whittaker’


Yoel Romero and Robert Whittaker hope to settle some of the uncertainty that exists near the top of the Ultimate Fighting Championship middleweight division.

Romero will face Whittaker for the interim middleweight title in the UFC 213 main event on Saturday at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. Meanwhile, longtime heavyweight stalwarts Alistair Overeem and Fabricio Werdum complete their trilogy in the three-round co-headliner. The rest of the five-fight main draw features a lightweight clash matching Anthony Pettis with Jim Miller, a heavyweight tilt pitting Daniel Omielanczuk against Curtis Blaydes and a bantamweight affair pairing Rob Font with Douglas Silva de Andrade.
