The middleweight division that seemed so chaotic just a short time ago seems shaking itself out. With Michael Bisping vs Georges St-Pierre no longer a hot topic for Dana White and Robert Whittaker now the interim middleweight champion, it seems pretty clear who Bisping will fight next.
Now, a couple of the contenders may be figuring things out for themselves as former middleweight champion Luke Rockhold and Yoel Romero, who just lost to Whittaker in the interim title fight by unanimous decision, were going after each other on Twitter.
Romero: So @LukeRockhold didn’t want to fight me ♂️ @bisping you’re up #seeyousoonboyyyyy

Rockhold: @yoelromeromma you’re the pussy that didn’t wanna fight 5 rounds. September 16th was offered.

Romero: I am FIGHTER. I am no promoter. You? Maybe model, maybe actor, maybe husband. You and @bisping same guy same eyes. Go back to hiding
Rockhold: what you are is a cheater
