Yoel Romero Thinks Michael Bisping Is Trying To Duck Him

February 8, 2017 | Posted by Joseph Lee

In an interview with MMA Fighting, Yoel Romero spoke about wanting a shot at UFC middleweight champion Michael Bisping. He’s been rumored to be the next challenger since November, when he knocked out Chris Weidman at UFC 205. Here are highlights:

On Bisping’s trash talk: “This man spoke too much trash about me without knowing, because it was a supplement that was tainted. He doesn’t know how hard I train, he doesn’t know how much I sacrifice to train hard. I sometimes give up time with my daughters to train. This man needs to pay.”

On if he regrets his own trash talk: “No, not at all, that’s Mike. You live with shame when you know you’ve done something bad. And believe me, I have no problem sleeping. That’s the only argument that he has, that’s the only card he can pull. Have you seen that video on social media when I knocked out Chris Weidman and they got Bisping’s reaction of his face? It’s not fear, there are no words that explain that terror. Have you seen those videos of people’s reactions when they’re at the beach and a tsunami rises? It’s the same expression that he had when I knocked out Chris. At that moment, he didn’t want to be the champion. At that moment he thought, ‘what am I doing fighting in this sport, what am I doing here? Look what’s coming now, why did I talk so much trash about this man?’”

On if Bisping is trying to avoid a fight: “Everybody knows that. He knows that, his kids know that, even his wife knows that.”
