Filed under: Featured , News , UFC Yoel Romero will apparently get this shot at UFC middleweight champion Michael Bisping , after all. After Romero (13-1 MMA, 8-0 UFC) knocked out ex-champ Chris Weidman (13-2 MMA, 9-2 UFC) with a vicious third-round flying knee this past weekend at UFC 205, UFC President Dana White suggested Romero would be up next for Bisping (30-7 MMA, 20-7 UFC). In fact, immediately after his win, Romero took aim at Bisping, who was in attendance at UFC 205 as an FS1 analyst. It appears the in- and out-of-cage exchange between the two vets will be the prelude to a real fight, which Romero also stumped for in a backstage interview after UFC 205 (watch it above). “Listen, I always say I’ve never ducked anyone in my life, and I never will,” Bisping said Thursday on his SiriusXM show, “The Countdown with Michael Bisping” (via soundcloud.com ): According to Bisping, he spoke with UFC President Dana White, who pitched the fight for UFC 208, which takes place Jan. 21 in Anaheim, Calif.
