When it comes to a proposed bout with recently crowned UFC heavyweight title challenger Daniel Cormier , Yoel Romero is getting some support. Not a ton of support – but support nonetheless. In our latest Daily Debate question, we asked MMAjunkie readers and MMAjunkie Radio listeners if Romero should get a fight with Cormier. Earlier this week, Romero (13-3 MMA, 9-2 UFC), who’s 0-2 in his past two fights after missing weight for planned middleweight title fights with Robert Whittaker, called for a light-heavyweight title fight with two-division champ Cormier (21-1 MMA, 10-1 UFC), who won his second belt after dethroning Stipe Miocic in this past Saturday’s UFC 226 headliner. Cormier quickly dismissed Romero’s proposal and told his fellow Olympian that “you don’t fail a class and then get moved up a grade.” Romero countered and referenced Cormier’s fights with longtime rival Jon Jones , but the champ returned fire with a reminder of Romero’s two recent losses .
