Unsurprisingly, he&#8217;s not impressed.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p id=\"H69ko1\"><em>\u201cIt\u2019s awesome,&#8221; he said (h\/t <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mmafighting.com\/2017\/7\/19\/15994952\/morning-report-michael-bisping-responds-to-yoel-romeros-call-out-get-a-f-king-grip-ufc\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">MMAFighting.com<\/a>). I love it. I love it. He\u2019s going around getting people dancing on British flags, he\u2019s burning pictures of me, he\u2019s stepping off the plane, he\u2019s doing videos when he gets off the plane, he\u2019s got loads of Cubans all standing there saluting and talking s**t and chanting, he\u2019s in cars talking s**t &#8211; he\u2019s gone off the deep end.&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<p id=\"M1Lj8U\"><em>\u201cYoel is out of his god damn mind. I\u2019ve got to say, I love it because unlike some of those videos, it\u2019s awesome. . . Yoel, get over it bud. You just lost the No. 1 contender fight. It\u2019s as simple as that. And you know what, it\u2019s just so typical of Yoel Romero. He can\u2019t man up. He can\u2019t accept it. He\u2019s gotta cheat. He\u2019s got no honor. He\u2019s gotta take steroids.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Bisping then referenced his own failed number-one-contender fights as an example of how Romero should handle his current situation.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p id=\"XS6yZo\"><em>\u201cListen, I was in No. 1 contender match ups &#8211; and let\u2019s not kid ourselves, an interim title fight is a No. 1 contender matchup. That\u2019s all it is because there was no need for a f**king interim title fight, but whatever. The UFC wanted to do one so I said sure, do it, it\u2019ll pump up the fight and make it even bigger when it does happen. But he lost! He lost fair and square. As I said, he laid on the floor, he gave up like a little b**ch that he is because he didn\u2019t have the heart and he let the fight slip away and he lost that fight. But still he can\u2019t accept it. Now he\u2019s still trying to bypass the victory and call me out still.<\/em><\/p>\n<p id=\"YE6c7l\"><em>\u201cI\u2019ve lost No. 1 contender match ups. If I\u2019d have won them, I\u2019d have fought for the title. But what did I do? Did I go to Instagram and call out the champion still and this and that? No, I didn\u2019t. You know what you do? You accept it like a man. Whatever it is in life, it doesn\u2019t go your way, you weren\u2019t successful, you couldn\u2019t pull it off, you didn\u2019t achieve it &#8211; you say f**k it, back to the drawing board. I\u2019ll get them next time. You don\u2019t go to Instagram and campaign for a fight with the champion anyway. You just lost. Hang your head in shame. Disappear to Cuba. Spend some time with your f**king family and come back and build yourself back up. That\u2019s what you should be doing not dancing around on the Union Jack.
