Romero Vs Bisping Full Fight

admin 4/9/2022 09/04/22

There’s probably no love lost between UFC Hall of Famer Michael Bisping and Yoel Romero.

But that didn’t stop Bisping from being pretty much stupefied to find out Romero was awarded a $27.4 million settlement earlier this week in a lawsuit against the company that made a supplement he took that led to a failed drug test in 2016.

Pretty even fight, says stats/science. You might even say Bisping got a slight advantage, as Romero's last fight before the 2-2 was a split decision vs gatekeeper Jacare, and Bisping's was a clear. The potential Bisping vs. Romero tilt will be like two supervillains squaring off at the end of a big-budget action movie. He said if a fight between him and Romero does indeed go down, it'll. The main event showdown between Israel Adesanya and Yoel Romero at UFC 248 left some fans wanting more. On the flip side, other fans had enough including the former middleweight champion Michael Bisping. “The Last Stylebender” defended his title for the first time against Romero at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas last weekend.

That failed test led to a suspension from the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency, and ultimately Gold Star Performance Products was held liable for a tainted supplement to the tune of $27.45 million.

The breakdown of the damages was roughly $3 million for lost wages, $3 million for reputable harm and $3 million for emotional damage. The damages triple when a company is “found out to have committed consumer fraud,” according to the New Jersey “Consumer Fraud Act.”

Bisping and Romero were linked together several times through the years, but never fought. Bisping never was shy with his accusations and insinuations that Romero was using performance-enhancing drugs.

So on this week’s edition of his “Believe You Me” podcast, Bisping took one more shot at Romero – mostly, it seemed, in fun – while discussing his settlement. (Discussion starts at the 29:55 mark in the video below.)

“‘This has got to be a prank,’ at first, is what I’m thinking,” Bisping said on the show. “Yoel Romero has been awarded $27.4 million. … There’s no way the ‘Soldier of Steroids’ has got $27.4 million (from a lawsuit). It’s true.”

Romero (13-3 MMA, 9-2 UFC) was informed by USADA that he tested positive for the banned substance Ibutamoren in February 2016. Facing a potential two-year suspension, Romero immediately claimed innocence and pointed to a tainted supplement.

USADA confirmed the supplement provided contained Ibutamoren, which was not listed as an ingredient, and Romero was suspended six months.

In January 2018, reports surfaced Romero had filed legal action against Gold Star Performance Products.

Bisping, despite his terse history with Romero, was more in a congratulatory mood, though, than in one to take many shots at “The Soldier of God.” And he thinks the money won’t be a factor in whether or not Romero will continue to fight.

“Red panty night for Yoel Romero,” Bisping said. “There must be a God. That’s all I’m gonna say on this. … I’ll say this, me and Yoel we had a little thing over the years. Congratulations. If you’re listening to this, well done. That’s awesome. It really is. … That man is a rich man. I’m happy for the man.

“I guess the interesting question is, will he still fight again? I honestly believe he will. You know what $27 million can do for you? You can do whatever you want. You know what you can’t buy with all that money? The UFC middleweight championship. … That’s his identity. That’s who he truly is.”

Romero currently is scheduled to fight Paulo Costa in a key middleweight bout at UFC 241 on Aug. 17 at Honda Center in Anaheim, Calif.

Michael Bisping stood to gain very big things with a win at UFC on FX 7 on Saturday night. But Vitor Belfort was determined to not let that happen.

In the main event at Ibirapuera Gymnasium in Sao Paulo, Belfort landed a big head kick, sending Bisping to the canvas in the second round. He then quickly moved in and pounded the Brit out for the finish.

Bisping (23-5 MMA, 13-5 UFC) was expected to advance to a middleweight title shot against Anderson Silva with a win over Belfort (22-10 MMA, 11-6 UFC). But the Brazilian sent his home country into a frenzy with the win and sent Bisping back to the drawing board.
