At UFC middleweight champion Adesanya is facing off against Yoel Romero, a dangerous fight for anyone. Romero is a tank disguised in human flesh. En route to winning a razor tight victory decision against him, Whittaker broke multiple bones punching and kicking him. Another previous Ultimate Fighting Championship opponent, Luke Rockhold, is on record stating “ that man is made of steel . ”
Every second you’re in the cage with Romero, you’re in danger of being savagely and violently knocked out and since Romero made weight, the fight is for the title.
But Adesanya versus Romero isn’t the only title fight on the UFC 728 fight card. Weili Zhang, the newly crowned UFC women’s strawweight, is facing off against legendary fighter Joanna Jędrzejczyk, probably the greatest female UFC strawweight of all time. That contest is a fascinating battle of power versus speed. Zhang is a huge hitter for the division, but Jędrzejczyk is lightning fast, technical and extremely defensively sound. The UFC could have a superstar on their hands with Zhang, the UFC’s first Chinese champion in any weight class, but beating Jędrzejczyk for the win is a massive challenge.
