The MMA world is waiting on the official announcement of UFC middleweight champion Michael Bisping’s next title defense.<\/p>\n

It sounds like UFC President Dana White<\/a> has the matchup already lined up as he told Matt Serra and Jim Norton on the latest \u201cUFC Unfiltered\u201d podcast that #1 UFC ranked middleweight Yoel Romero is next in line for Bisping, with former middleweight champion Anderson Silva right there in the mix if he gets his hand raised over Derek Brunson at UFC 208.<\/p>\n

“Anderson has gotta get past Brunson and Bisping has gotta get past Yoel Romero<\/a>,” White said as Serra stated he would be interested in seeing the rematch between Bisping and Silva after their controversial first fight<\/a> at UFC Fight Night 84.<\/p>\n

\"Yoel<\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cYoel Romero\u2019s been floating out there a long time waiting for a title shot,” White added. <\/p>\n

“Bisping wanted to do that grudge match with Dan Henderson. It was going to be Dan Henderson\u2019s last fight, you know what I mean? I\u2019ve always shown Henderson the respect I felt he deserved. He\u2019s a guy who\u2019s fought everybody out there. So we did that fight and he\u2019s got to defend his title now against the #1 contender. I mean, if you look at what Romero did to Chris Weidman, he absolutely deserves the shot.\u201d<\/p>\n

Romero knocked out former UFC middleweight champion Chris Weidman at UFC 205<\/a> in New York in November, which got him to the top of the UFC middleweight rankings.<\/p>\n

With Bisping coming off a recent sugery to fix some minor injuries, Bisping has previously stated that he predicts a return sometime in the Spring<\/a>.<\/p>\n
