Luke Rockhold or Yoel Romero in UFC 221 headliner? Hardy and Gooden break it down

Who emerges as a new champion in this weekend’s UFC 221 headliner – Luke Rockhold or Yoel Romero?

MMAjunkie’s Dan Tom provided an in-depth UFC 221 main-event breakdown earlier this week, and in their usual “Inside the Octagon” segments, commentators John Gooden and Dan Hardy provide their thoughts.

UFC 221 takes place Sunday (but airs live in North America on Saturday due to the time difference) at Perth Arena in Perth, Western Australia. The main card, including the interim middleweight title fight between Rockhold (16-3 MMA, 6-2 UFC) and Romero (12-2 MMA, 8-1 UFC), airs on pay-per-view following prelims on FS1 and UFC Fight Pass.

After opening as a solid underdog, the odds have shifted in Rockhold’s favor, and he’s now a healthy -140 favorite.

Should he be, though? Check out the breakdown above to hear Gooden and Hardy’s thoughts.
