Dana White on Yoel Romero challenging champ Michael Bisping: 'That's the fight that makes sense'

Whether Michael Bisping likes it or not, it seems that Yoel Romero will be getting the next shot at the UFC middleweight title.

At Saturday's UFC 205 in New York City, Romero defeated former UFC middleweight champion Chris Weidman with a brutal flying knee at the beginning of round three. That victory marked Romero's eight straight win in the UFC, and he remained the only fighter in the 185-pound rankings to be undefeated. Although Romero already had a solid resume to be worthy of a title shot against Bisping, it seems that a technical knockout over Weidman sealed the deal for the Cuban fighter.
