UFC 225, which took place Saturday at United Center in Chicago, marked the UFC’s most significant card of 2018 thus far. The results certainly had an impact on the record books. Robert Whittaker (20-4 MMA, 11-2 UFC) won’t be credited with a middleweight title defense, but he managed to outpoint Yoel Romero (13-3 MMA, 9-2 UFC) via split decision in the non-title headliner. Prior to that, Colby Covington (14-1 MMA, 9-1 UFC) became the third fighter in UFC welterweight history to claim an interim belt when he beat Rafael dos Anjos (28-10 MMA, 17-8 UFC) by unanimous decision .
