UFC 225 Embedded Episodes 4 and 5: Romero vs. Whittaker Still Set for Five Rounds

The UFC released the latest two episodes of UFC 225 Embedded. You can check out episodes four and five from the video series in the players below. Here’s a synopsis for the latest episode:

On Episode 5 of UFC 225 Embedded, a star-studded media day includes middleweight champion Robert Whittaker, opponent Yoel Romero and former titleholders Holly Holm, Rafael Dos Anjos, Andrei Arlovski, Rashad Evans and Carla Esparza. UFC 225’s athletes — including CM Punk, Tai Tuivasa, Megan Anderson, Sergio Pettis, Charles Oliveira, Colby Covington and Mike Jackson — talk to media and stare down their opponents. Afterward, Punk offers a backstage peek at the United Center, and Anderson begins her weight cut. On Friday morning all fighters make weight except for one, leaving the event’s headliner in jeopardy. But all parties make it to the ceremonial weigh-in, where UFC President Dana White confirms that Whittaker and Romero will indeed rematch.

Footage from Dana White’s media scrum in the Embedded view has the UFC President confirming that the Whittaker and Romero rematch will still be contested as a five-round main event. This is despite Yoel Romero missing weight yesterday, making it a non-title affair.

UFC 225 is set for later today at the United Center in Chicago, Illinois. The main card will be broadcast live on pay-per-view. Prelims will be shown on FS1 and UFC Fight Pass.
