From top to bottom, UFC 225: Whittaker vs Romero 2 is one of the most stacked fight cards that the UFC has put together in a line while. The card is so stacked, in fact, that both Alistair Overeem and Joseph Benavidez (both of whom are top contenders in their respective divisions) will be fighting on the preliminary card.

UFC 225 will feature two title fights - Robert Whittaker vs Yoel Romero for the Middleweight title and Colby Covington vs Rafael dos Anjos for the interim Welterweight title, with the winner of that fight very likely taking on Tyron Woodley for the real Welterweight title.

In addition, CM Punk will be giving the Octagon another try, as he will be taking on Mike Jackson in a battle between two 0-1 fighters. CM Punk will likely bring a bump of PPV buys, which is why he is fighting on the main card instead of Alistair Overeem.

In addition, Holly Holm vs Megan Anderson and Carla Esparza vs Claudia Gadelha both have real title implications.
