There were plenty of questions surrounding the middleweight title bout between Georges St-Pierre and Michael Bisping last month at UFC 217. For starters, the odds between the two veterans were pretty close, and many were wondering who would walk away with UFC gold that Nov. 4 night in New York City. But for top middleweight contender Yoel Romero, who watched the action closely (being present at UFC 217), things were pretty clear, at least according to him.
. . .
“It’s not a surprise for anybody, it’s not a surprise, it’s not a surprise,” Romero told Ariel Helwani. “I knew that Michael Bisping didn’t have good wrestling or grappling, I knew this guy had nothing for St-Pierre. And I knew St-Pierre would beat him and go out again.”
. . .
“For sure, (I knew St-Pierre would vacate the middleweight belt), because 185 pounds is a very dangerous category, many people have good quality,” Romero said. “I clap for Georges St-Pierre because he’s smart, ‘Okay, I have another belt, very easy with this guy. I kill him and I have a very good Christmas.’”
