Michael Bisping Says He’ll Fight Yoel Romero Six Weeks After Facing Georges St-Pierre

March 7, 2017 | Posted by Jeremy Thomas

Michael Bisping is willing to take on Yoel Romero right after he finishes up with Georges St-Pierre. Bisping said at a recent UFC press conference (via MMAjunkie) that Romero, who took a back seat to St-Pierre for a shot at Bisping’s title, will be next on his agenda in very little time.

“If he’s so good then just keep beating people,” Bisping said. “I’ll tell you what: Georges doesn’t have the style to hurt me. I can show you a text message to (UFC President) Dana (White) right now. I said, ‘Georges will not hurt me. In six weeks after this fight, I will fight Yoel Romero.’ So Yoel, sit on the (expletive) stool. Do whatever you want to do. (Expletive) your pants. Whatever it may be. I’ll be here.”

Dana White has confirmed that Bisping has in fact promised to face Romero soon after he fights GSP. How long, of course, depends on how Bisping is coming out of the fight with St-Pierre.
