Robert Whittaker wins by a unanimous points decision over Yoel Romero.

Romero easily won the first two rounds with Whittaker well behind after being taken down numerous times.

As the fight went into the third round the the pace and speed got to Romero as the faster and fitter Whittaker started to land some heavy blows. Whittaker evading a number of take down attempts from Romero and managed to keep much of the round standing so he could land his lightning fast hits.

Whittaker was nursing a "Bum Knee" as he called it after the fight. It was caused from a heavy side kick to the knee in the first round from Romero. He even admitted that if he had been hit again it would have collapsed.

The fourth round was all Whittaker again as he managed to land heavy shots on the visibly tired Romero.

The fifth round Romero came out swinging and had a couple of take down attempts but again Whittaker managed to evade. With two minutes to go both fighters looked dead on their feet. Whittaker ended up on top of Romero and was dealing to his face for the last 40 seconds.

Once the final bell went he knew he had done enough to beat the Cuban.

Amazing fight from two champions. Bring on Bisping...
