Filed under: News , UFC NEW YORK – UFC middleweight contender Yoel Romero said he hasn’t heard what champ Michael Bisping has to say about him, but he doesn’t put too much stock in it, anyway. After Bisping pointedly said he wouldn’t fight Romero should he beat ex-champ Chris Weidman tonight at UFC 205, Romero shrugged off the declaration and said the champ won’t dictate opportunities. “First of all, I haven’t heard what the champion said,” Romero (11-1 MMA, 7-0 UFC), who meets Weidman (13-1 MMA, 9-1 UFC) on UFC 205’s pay-per-view at Madison Square Garden in New York, told MMAjunkie. “I don’t have time for that. I only have time to focus for one sole purpose. But the champion is neither the president nor the owner of the UFC.” Those jobs, of course, are held by UFC President Dana White and a small team of executives led by WME-IMG’s Ari Emanuel and Patrick Whitesell
