Michael Bisping trolled by Yoel Romero over GSP loss

Britain’s first UFC belt holder lost the middleweight title to St-Pierre last month in the main event of UFC 217.

In front of a packed crowd at Madison Square Garden, St-Pierre brought about the end of Bisping’s reign as 185lbs champion with a third-round submission victory, a triumph which saw him bag his fourth title. 

St-Pierre’s 26th professional win came as a big a surprise to many on account of the fact he entered the contest on the back of a four-year layoff.

Unlike many in the MMA world, Romero wasn’t stunned by St-Pierre’s impressive victory. 

“It’s not a surprise for anybody, it’s not a surprise, it’s not a surprise,” ‘The Soldier of God’ said during an appearance on The MMA Hour.

“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.”

St-Pierre’s reign as middleweight champion ended 33 days after he ripped the title from Bisping’s clutches as he .

Romero, like many others, foresaw ‘GSP’ relinquishing the 185lbs strap before the Canadian announced his decision to cut short his title reign.

“For sure, (I knew St-Pierre would vacate the middleweight title), because 185 pounds is a very dangerous category, many people have good quality,” he added.

“I clap for Georges St-Pierre because he’s smart, ‘ok, I have another belt, very easy with this guy. 

“I kill him and I have a very good Christmas.’”
