Romero: ‘One-eyed drunk’ Bisping no champ in the eyes of the people
Yoel Romero: “Maybe if I buy him a six…no a twelve pack of beer and tell him I won’t take him down, or maybe if I tell him I will only take him down it will happen.:
Yoel Romero is the #1 middleweight contender, but the next title shot is going to former welterweight champion Georges St-Pierre. At every turn Bisping gleefully adds insults to Romero’s financial injury, but the former Olympic medalist in wrestling is staying firm.
“I have learned to be patient,” Romero to Duane Finley for FloCombat via a translator. “I will only fight for a title whomever that may be. Whether interim or not, my next fight will only be for the title.
“I find it humorous the so-called champ can’t fight who and when he wants to. He speaks of a code that we are to follow. There is a code that champions fight and defend their title against the best competition. He doesn’t do that and doesn’t follow the code. He is no champion in the eyes of the people or colleagues.”
“Maybe if I buy him a six…no a twelve pack of beer and tell him I won’t take him down, or maybe if I tell him I will only take him down it will happen. Who knows? Dana and my management have said I am next and I believe that I am. It doesn’t matter what Bisping says as we can see he isn’t the one calling the shots. It’s GSP.”
While Romero’s wrestling credentials are among the best in the sport’s history, he majority of his fights have ended via strikes.
“I always knew I had this power for as long as I can remember,” said Romero. “I also have to thank God and my coaches and my team for helping me pick up striking.”
“I think my last one is the most impressive. It was the way to face the one-eyed drunk.”
