Robert Whittaker and his coach Fab discuss Romero missing weight back at UFC 225.

Romero missed championship weight by 0.2 after his weight cut was cut short by almost an hour by the Illinois commissioner, ignoring her own doctors' diagnoses. This has been confirmed by ATT owner Dan Lambert and nutritionist George Lockhart.

The weigh ins started 20 minutes earlier than they were scheduled.

It seems that the commissioner just wanted to get out of there earlier.
