Robert Whittaker spoke with MMAjunkie ahead of his fight with Yoel Romero at UFC 225. Highlights are below:

On fighting on the same card as Colby Covington: “Anyone who can bring attention to the pay-per-view, obviously, I’m all for.”

On Covington’s attitude: “The things Colby says, it’s hilarious. It’s so bad, it’s funny…I wouldn’t say I’m a fan. C’mon, don’t bury me, guys. He’s said some pretty bad stuff. But you’ve got to laugh sometimes, because he’s going above and beyond. It’s like, ‘Dude, did you say that?’ It’s funny.”
