Two championship fights have been reserved for UFC 225 at Chicago on June 9, setting up one of the better pay-per-view cards to the year.
At the primary event, middleweight champion Robert Whittaker defends his strap in a rematch against Yoel Romero, who knocked out Luke Rockhold to make the challenge. The very first time they met, Whittaker outboxed the harmful Romero for five rounds to maintain the interim belt. The young Aussie was later installed as the undisputed champ after GSP vacated the belt.
As most of us know, Romero is one of the most explosive athletes to grace the octagon, and any time he is on his feet is just one where he could author a brutal finish. However, Bobby Knuckles has come to be a stellar tactician, and his superb boxing has become a problem that contenders can not solve.
From the co-main, Rafael dos Anjos will fulfill Colby Covington for the interim welterweight title. Covington has been creating plenty of headlines, doing a poor impression of Chael Sonnen to trash talk his way into big fights. It’s working, but he has rapidly become the most hated fighter . His recent announcements about Brazil should provide Rafael dos Anjos plenty of motivation to shut up Covington.
Also on the card is bantamweight No. 1 competitor Joe Benavidez, two-time strawweight title challenger Claudia Gadelha, heavyweight title challenger Alistair Overeem, former heavyweight champion Andrei Arlovski and former light heavyweight champion Rashad Evans. Simply to top it all off, CM Punk will fight in his hometown for his second ace MMA bout.

Things to Watch For
Robert Whittaker will make his first title defense against the man he beat to win the title. While he’s the large favorite coming in, counting out somebody as harmful as Romero is just plain dumb. Keep your eyes on Romero’s cost, as approaching anyplace close to +200 will be a superb prospect.
