Whittaker was then expected to defend the championship against former Strikeforce and UFC Middleweight Champion Luke Rockhold in the main event.[11] However on January 13, it was announced that Whittaker pulled out of the bout and was replaced by former middleweight interim title challenger (as well as 2000 Olympic silver medalist and former world champion in freestyle wrestling) Yoel Romero, who was scheduled to face former WSOF Middleweight and Light Heavyweight Champion David Branch at Emmett vs. Stephens. The bout was also established as an interim title contest.[12] A lightweight bout between Jeremy Kennedy and Alexander Volkanovski was originally scheduled for Werdum vs. Tybura. However, Kennedy pulled out due to a back injury.[13] The pairing was later rescheduled for this event.[14] At the weigh-ins, Romero came in at 187.7 lbs (after coming in at 188.3 lbs in his first attempt), 2.7 pounds over the middleweight limit of 185 lbs. for a championship fight. As a result, in the event that Romero won the fight with Rockhold, he would be ineligible for the championship, while the latter was still eligible. Romero will be fined 30% of his purse, which will go to Rockhold and the bout proceeded as scheduled at a catchweight.[15] Results{{MMAevent}}{{MMAevent card|Main Card}}{{MMAevent bout|Catchweight (187.7 lbs) |Yoel Romero |def. |Luke Rockhold |KO (punches) |3 |1:48 |For the interim UFC Middleweight Championship (only Rockhold was eligible). }}{{MMAevent bout |Heavyweight |Curtis Blaydes |def. |Mark Hunt |Decision (unanimous) (30-26, 30-26, 29-27) |3 |5:00 | }}{{MMAevent bout |Heavyweight |Tai Tuivasa |def. |Cyril Asker |TKO (punches and elbows) |1 |2:18 | }}{{MMAevent bout |Welterweight |Jake Matthews |def. |Li Jingliang |Decision (unanimous) (29-28, 30-26, 30-26) |3 |5:00 | }}{{MMAevent bout |Light Heavyweight |Tyson Pedro |def. |Saparbek Safarov |Submission (kimura) |1 |3:54 | }}{{MMAevent card|Preliminary Card (Fox Sports 1)|header=no}}{{MMAevent bout |Lightweight |Dong Hyun Ma |def. |Damien Brown |Decision (split) (29-28, 28-29, 29-28) |3 |5:00 | }}{{MMAevent bout |Middleweight |Israel Adesanya |def. |Rob Wilkinson |TKO (knees and punches) |2 |3:37 | }}{{MMAevent bout |Featherweight |Alexander Volkanovski |def. |Jeremy Kennedy |TKO (punches and elbows) |2 |4:57 | }}{{MMAevent bout |Flyweight |Jussier Formiga |def. |Ben Nguyen |Technical Submission (rear-naked choke) |3 |1:43 | }}{{MMAevent card|Preliminary Card (UFC Fight Pass)|header=no}}{{MMAevent bout |Lightweight |Ross Pearson |def. |Mizuto Hirota |Decision (unanimous) (30-27, 30-27, 29-28) |3 |5:00 | }}{{MMAevent bout |Bantamweight |José Alberto Quiñónez |def. |Teruto Ishihara |Decision (unanimous) (30-27, 29-28, 29-28) |3 |5:00 | }}{{MMAevent bout |Welterweight |Luke Jumeau |def. |Daichi Abe |Decision (unanimous) (29-28, 29-27, 28-27) |3 |5:00 | }}{{MMAevent end|notes=yes}}[16] Bonus awardsThe following fighters were awarded $50,000 bonuses:[17]
