http://www.mmamania.com/2017/5/11/1...ng-awards-yoel-romero-middleweight-title-shot Good news. Apparently GSP kept stalling on a fight date so Romero is now getting the shot.
Would have preferred Mousasi to get the shot. He's top 5 and all natural, unlike Roidmero. In any case this is better than that absolute farce of a fight...
If Romero didn't get the shot he was owed UFC should just officially throw their ratings in the trash.
This is amazing. Best news I could hope for. Only way it can be topped is if McG agrees to fight Khabib after the Floyd farce. The MW division is so stacked now with Mousasi, Bisping, Romero, Jacare, Whitaker and then even the old timers like Silva and Belfort, plus the fringe guys like Brunson and Gastelum. Such a great division.
He's consistently been a MW contender for over a decade and won the strap. Definitely a top 5 MW... No question.
What would it take for him to be an ATG MW? Wins over Silva Hendo Rockhold and Romero would put him up there with anyone.
