UFC 178 plays host to an important top-10 middleweight matchup.
No. 6-ranked contender Tim Kennedy takes on the No. 10-ranked Yoel Romero.
Kennedy is on a four-fight win streak and has won all three of his UFC contests. He is coming off the biggest win of his career over Michael Bisping back in April. Also undefeated in the UFC, Romero is on a four-fight win streak of his own.
As the UFC seeks new challengers for Chris Weidman and the middleweight title, the winner of this fight puts his name in the mix.
An impressive performance from either man could see him as a top contender in the division. This matchup is not getting much play in the build-up to UFC 178, but make no mistake that this is one of the most significant bouts happening on Saturday.
Let’s break down the middleweight tilt between two interesting contenders.
