Bisping, Weidman not happy with Yoel Romero’s reduced suspension

Yoel Romero got off lightly for his failed drug test earlier this year. The No. 4 ranked middleweight contender narrowly beat Ronaldo ‘Jacare’ Souza at UFC 194 but failed an out-of-competition test conducted by the United States Anti-Doping Agency (USADA).

‘Soldier of God’ was originally looking at a two-year suspension, but the Cuban disputed the test results and said he used a tainted supplement. Romero’s ban was reduced to six months and the Oylmpic silver medalist will return to the Octagon against Chris Weidman at UFC 205.

The bout could determine the next No. 1 middleweight contender and the winner will likely face champion Michael Bisping next year.
