The stage is set for an interim title bout between Yoel Romero and Robert Whittaker.

UFC 213 was supposed to be headlined by a bantamweight title bout between champion Cody Garbrandt and T.J. Dillashaw. A back injury has forced Garbrandt off the card and we now have a new co-headliner.

UFC President Dana White confirmed to ESPN’s Brett Okamoto that Romero vs. Whittaker will take place at the event for the interim middleweight gold. UFC 213 goes down from the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada on July 8.

You can see Okamoto’s tweet below:

The UFC had hoped that 185-pound champion Michael Bisping would be able to compete in July against Georges St-Pierre. “Rush’s” middleweight title opportunity was no longer and “The Count” won’t be healed in time for UFC 213.

Romero has been on a tear since entering the UFC. He’s 8-0 under the promotion and is ranked number one on the official UFC middleweight rankings. Whittaker recently stunned the mixed martial arts world with his second-round TKO victory over Ronaldo “Jacare” Souza. He’s now on a seven-fight winning streak.

UFC 213 will also feature a women’s bantamweight title bout between champion Amanda Nunes and Valentina Shevchenko. Welterweights Robbie Lawler and Donald Cerrone will do battle on the card as well as Alistair Overeem and Fabricio Werdum.
