Two championship fights have been booked for UFC 225 at Chicago on June 9, establishing one of the superior pay-per-view cards to the year.
In the main event, middleweight champion Robert Whittaker defends his strap in a rematch against Yoel Romero, who knocked out Luke Rockhold to earn 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 we all know, Romero is among the most explosive athletes to ever grace the octagon, and any moment he is on his feet is just one where he can author a brutal finish. But Bobby Knuckles has become a stellar tactician, and his superb boxing is now a problem that contenders can not resolve.
In the co-main, Rafael dos Anjos will fulfill Colby Covington for its interim welterweight title. Covington has been making plenty of headlines, doing a poor impression of Chael Sonnen to trash talk his way into big fights. It is working, but he has quickly become the most despised fighter on roster. His current statements about Brazil should provide Rafael dos Anjos lots of motivation to shut up Covington.
Also on the card is bantamweight No. 1 contender 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. Just to top it off, CM Punk will struggle his hometown for his next 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 is the large favorite coming , counting out somebody as dangerous as Romero is just plain dumb. Keep your eyes on Romero’s cost, as coming anywhere close to +200 would be an excellent prospect.
