Yoel Romero appeared to be the benefactor of a generous dollop of Vaseline and a slow moving corner, giving him time to recuperate from some heavy damage he took from Tim Kennedy at the end of the previous round of their UFC 178 showdown. He subsequently recovered and ended up taking Kennedy out via TKO stoppage.
After the fight, at the UFC 178 post-fight press conference, UFC president Dana White and Romero weighed in on the controversy.
