"If he's dead I'll pay for his funeral."

Yoel Romero: It’s ‘crazy’ UFC, NYSAC allowed Michael Bisping to fight Kelvin Gastelum after GSP loss

Yoel Romero was not surprised with many of the outcomes from the UFC middleweight title fight between Georges St-Pierre vs. Michael Bisping, but he was surprised by one thing.

“You know, that was the big surprise. Why? It’s so crazy, it doesn’t make sense. I don’t know how the athletic commission said yes and accepted that he’d fight. It’s so crazy, it’s so crazy.”

But the NYSAC were not the only ones that allowed the fight to happen. The UFC was also involved in the decision, as the promotion acts as its own regulatory body in countries that don’t have athletic commissions, such as China.

Romero doesn’t know how the UFC and the people surrounding Bisping were OK with having him fight Gastelum, even with the green light from the NYSAC.

“I don’t know how the family, the relatives of Michael Bisping allowed him to fight,” Romero explained. “I don’t know why the team, the coaches said, ‘OK, take the fight.’

“I don’t know why Michael Bisping took the fight. I don’t know why the UFC said yes. This is very dangerous, it’s not just a fight, it’s very dangerous. Normally, he needed rest for like 16 to 19 days, you know. But he’s sleeping, he didn’t tap out, he went to sleep (in the St-Pierre bout). When that happens in a fight, like a choke or knockout, you need a rest, like a minimum of 16 days.”

The Cuban fighter believes the lack of rest in between the fights was a reason why Bisping was knocked out by Gastelum.

“I said, ‘OK, the first time with Gastelum, like a jab or something in the face, he (Bisping) was going to go out because he didn’t go through the [recuperation] and the rest that he needed.”

That punch would’ve knocked out Bisping at any point in his career. It was picture perfect.

It’s not Gastelums job to protect Bisping. That’s the responsibility of the UFC doctors, his team, family and the referee. Gastelum came to get paid like all fighters do.
 
I read that all in Yoel’s voice.
 
Bisping said he went through rigorous medical testing in order to get cleared for the fight, so not sure I can really be pissed at the UFC if doctors cleared him.

That said, it wasn't the wisest thing for him to do, for sure.
 
GSP handed Gastelum the Bisping win on a silver platter.

Corruption, orchestrated by the U.S. and others, would have seen the murderous Batista in power for decades. And then Fidel dead.

<{vega}>
 
Fighting twice against those two was still safer than fighting Romero once. Paid better too.
 
For your poll question nope.. it's not Gastelum's role to take care of Bisping.. first it's on Bisping himself then on his own private circles family, coaches, friends then on the commission and last on the UFC.

Kelvin has no responsibility in this at all, a fight was presented everyone accepted it and wanted it why not take out the "1 month before this CHAMP" and make a name for yourself.
 
Why ask if Gastelum should have taken the fight? He should be the last person who should care of Bisping's well being, as he is getting payed to hurt him anyways.
 
Inb4 "Dana White blasts Romero for..." <31>

As far as the poll is concerned Gastelum couldn't stop it even if he wanted to. Wrong decision for all the wrong reasons by all the participants involved.
 
fighters job is to fight. Fighter safety is for men in suits
 
Bisping passed medicals and chose to sign on the dotted line<{hughesimpress}>
