THEY’RE DOING ANOTHER FUCKING INTERIM TITLE MATCH, FUCK YEAH!
Robert Whittaker hurt something and has pulled out of his title fight against Luke Rockhold. As such, Yoel Romero will take the Aussie’s place (he might be New Zealander but it’s all the same, k?) and the winner will be granted an interim belt, to be unified at a latter date. This company looooooooves interim titles. Loves. Them.
Whittaker has this to say:
I would like to apologize to all my supporters and fans of MMA for not being able to put on the show you deserve. I’ve been ruled medically unable to compete and wont be able to defend on home soil. This card meant so much to me and I’m devastated for not being able to fight. All I can do is focus on getting healthy to come back better than ever. All the best to Yoel and Luke for their fight and ill be waiting…
Sounds cryptic because it is cryptic.
Yeah, yeah, they need main-events and all that and Romero v. Rockhold is an awesome fucking fight, I know, I know, but: hell to that yeah for this shit show continuing. Let’s recap just the recent history of the middleweight strap.
Rockhold loses to Bisping in roughly 3 minutes. Bisping has an illustrious reign consisting of beating Dan Henderson.
While Bisping is champ, they crown Whittaker interim champion last July because why not?
Bisping loses in November to Georges St. Pierre.
12 seconds later, St. Pierre gives up the belt.
Whittaker is elevated to real champion.
And now this: and interim belt for a belt that was an interim belt until it *just* became a real one.
Oh, right, don’t forget that Romero’s last fight was in getting his ass kicked by Whittaker, so we have a loser vs a dude who got smoked by Bisping for a fake belt in a country that may or may not be real.
This company is an entertaining shithole.
