Yoel Romero: Fans responsible for educating themselves on USADA issues

NEW YORK — Rarely does a day go by when Yoel Romero doesn't see something on Twitter from a fan telling him he's a steroid user or a juice head. The UFC middleweight contender realizes his friend Jon Jones is probably going through the same thing right now after he was suspended one year for a UFC anti-doping violation this week.

Romero's concern is that the vocal fans who come into his mentions and notifications don't have a firm grasp on the full situations.

"It bothers me that the fans, that people won't try or intend to try to learn a little bit more," Romero told MMA Fighting on Thursday at UFC 205 media day through a translator.
