Michael Bisping Doesn't Think The UFC Should've Let Yoel Romero Give Luke Rockhold A Lil' Smooch On The Cheek After He Bashed His Brains In

“I don’t take pleasure from seeing somebody knocked out like that, I really don’t,” Bisping stated. “He got knocked out and he just looked so devastated, absolutely crushed. Then, to make matters worse, Romero, the guy that just knocked him out, gets in his face, pins him up against the fence, has his arms over his shoulders like that so Rockhold literally can’t go anywhere and he’s professing his undying love for him ‘I love you Luke, I love you.’ I don’t know what he was saying and he had his eyes shut and everything.”
“I mean look at Rockhold there, he looks like he’s fucking terrified, he really does. Romero has his eyes shut and he’s giving him a kiss. Look at Romero there, he really looks like he’s making love.”
I’ve been giggling like a little kid at everything about this for a few minutes now. Yoel Romero is such a fucking weird guy. You just punched Luke Rockhold in the face as hard as I’ve ever seen anyone punch another human being in the face, and I understand that you know the agony of defeat so you’d like to console him a bit, but do that in a few hours when he’s conscious, and FOR SURE don’t do it by kissing him on the cheek and repeatedly telling him you love him. That’s not how a man who just got knocked the fuck out in front of millions of people wants to be treated. I guarantee it. ESPECIALLY after the terms of this fight, where Yoel unprofessionally didn’t make weight (short notice or not, he was already scheduled for a fight with David Branch just two weeks after this one) and will still get the next title shot. Not that Luke even had the chance to think about that while his brain was mush, but it’s just the thought that counts.
Former UFC Middleweight Champion (and big time hater of both Luke Rockhold and Yoel Romero) Michael Bisping’s description of what occurred after the fight is laugh out loud funny too, he’s just so eloquently taking the viewer what happened as if he’s the author of a romance novel with Fabio on the cover. I’ve liked Bisping for a few years now, but since he lost the title he’s actually been way more likable. I think it’s the arrogance dialed back a bit, proving who the man on the inside was while he was selling fights. His main point was correct, by the way, insisting someone should’ve gotten in between the fighters and told Yoel it was just not the time.
Overall, this is not the best rebuttal for the folk (who actually exist) claiming UFC is nothing but a bunch of gay sweaty men rolling around with each other.
