The rivalry between UFC middleweight champion Michael Bisping and top contender Yoel Romero is far from over.
Despite losing the interim middleweight title fight against Robert Whittaker at UFC 213, which determined who was going to challenge Bisping for the real belt, Romero is still campaigning for a fight with the champ. However, the Cuban fighter’s interest in fighting Bisping is no longer about UFC gold, but about something far more meaningful to him.
During Romero’s title fight with Whittaker, Bisping was seen cageside ripping a Cuban flag and throwing it at Romero’s corner.
