According to top-ranked middleweight contender Yoel Romero, he ‘knew’ Georges St-Pierre was going to emerge victorious over Michael Bisping at UFC 217 in Madison Square Garden, New York.
‘The Count’ went back-and-forth with ‘Rush’ before being caught with a counter left hand in the third round. St-Pierre proceeded to maul Bisping on the ground and choke him unconscious with a rear-naked choke, earning his first stoppage win in over eight years.
Romero, who has been angling for a grudge match with Bisping ever since the Brit trashed the Cuban flag at UFC 213, wasn’t surprised with the outcome and expected GSP’s wrestling to be too much on the night.
