Romero vs Whittaker

by: Sani Correia

UFC 213 This fight was everything it was lead up to be.  Yoel Romero and Robert Whittaker put on an amazing show that went 5 rounds with both fighters scoring back and forth.  In the first round Romero attempted a dirty oblique kick to the already injured leg of Whittaker.  It appeared at first that Wittaker wasn't going to be able to continue the fight, but he most definitely pulled through and got the win via decision.  As they say "That's what champions are made of!"

The main event Amanda Nunes vs Valentina Shevchenko was cancelled due to an illness that Nunes obtained the morning of the fight.  Dana White (president of the UFC), went on to say that he was disappointed with Nunes, as the Doctors had cleared her to fight and she still backed out.  He seemed extremely upset and continued to rant about the fact that he would not let Nunes headline another UFC event again.  However, Dana has mentioned this before in regards to Jon Jones and he's headlining UFC 214 Jones vs Cormier.

Gegard Mousasi expressing his love for the UFC at his last weigh-in

Big news in the MMA world today. Gegard Mousasi finished his last fight in his UFC contract with his impressive win over Chris Weidman via 2nd round TKO back on April 8th, 2017.  Mousasi has been expressing his dislike of the pay structure in the UFC and demanding more money.  Gegard has the potential to beat anyone in the Middleweight division.  He's that strong, silent type, fighters underestimate him don't realize how much talent he has until it's to late.  Gegard has been fighting professionally since 2005.  He's the owner of an impressive record of 42(W)-6(L)-2(NC).   9-3 since entering the UFC, with a current 5 fight win streak.  He is also currently ranked 4th among active UFC middleweights.  Gegard has chosen to sign with the Bellator organization.  Bellator has been recruiting many upset fighters from the UFC and building quite an impressive roster of quality, talented fighters. Making them a serious contender in MMA organizations compared to the most dominating UFC. I'm extremely excited to see what Bellator has in store for the upcoming months.  For the complete article visit:Gegard Mousasi signs with Bellator
