We’ll have to wait just a little bit longer for undisputed winner Robert Whittaker to make his first title defense. The Aussie basher withdrew from his scheduled UFC 221 scrap with Luke Rockhold with an injury, setting up an interim title game between Rockhold and Cuban Yoel Romero instead.
The name fight serves as the primary event of a card that is filled with talented natives, like Mark Hunt, Tai Tuivasa, Jake Matthews and Tyson Pedro. While it was rumored that women’s strawweight champion Cris”Cyborg” Justino would make a fast turnaround to confront Invicta FC champ Megan Anderson, it seems the tilt will happen on a later date.
While a few conflicts are still being finalized, have a look at the declared lineup below. Be certain to check in during combat week to get in-depth betting previews.

Things to Watch For
Romero will get a second straight opportunity to claim interim gold. The 40-year old former Olympian was shot to task by Robert Whittaker in his last matchup, however he did have his moments. He remains one of the very dangerous middleweights around Earth, capable of surprising outbursts of fight-ending violence.
Rockhold is coming off a second round TKO of former WSOF winner David Branch, along with his only loss in his previous seven fights came via flash knockout courtesy of Michael Bisping. A thudding kicker with an elite submission wrestling game, Rockhold presents an intriguing challenge for the aging Romero – and Whittaker too.
Mark Hunt is a staple in any European card, as the New Zealander is arguably the region’s biggest star. The slugger will test No. 9 Curtis Blaydes, who will do whatever he can to bring this fight to the mat. In another heavyweight collision, undefeated Tai Tuivasa will look to keep his 100 percent KO ratio intact when he meets France’s Cyril Asker.
You have gotta love the matchup involving Australia’s Jake Matthews and Li Jingliang. The Chinese fighter is the UFC’s greatest hope of producing a native star for the world’s most populous country, and Matthews is exactly the type of man who can test him.
26-year older Tyson Pedro is young blood at light heavyweight, although his prospects were dimmed somewhat in his final outing against Ilir Latifi. It was the Australian’s initial loss, and he will not get an easy bounceback fight. Pedro meets the hard-hitting Saparbek Safarov in what should be an explosive affair.
