Twitter reacts to Whittaker over Romero
Robert Whittaker defeated Yoel Romero via unanimous decision in the main event of UFC 213 and Twitter REACTED.
Robert Whittaker defeated Yoel Romero via unanimous decision in the main event of UFC 213. He is now the UFC interim middleweight champion. The fight was excellent, earning Whittaker his sixth performance bonus in eight fights. And he did it with a knee that was injured in the first. Australia, which holds the UFC attendance record, now has its first champion.
And as always, Twitter reacted.
For the record, Dana White said on SC earlier today the winner of this will absolutely face Michael Bisping next. Let's see what happens.
