Whether or not the\u00a0new two-division champion of the\u00a0light heavyweight and heavyweight divisions, Daniel Cormier is actually wanting to set up a fight with Yoel Romero…he sure is by continuing the back and forth with the top-ranked middleweight.<\/p>\n
After Romero’s announcement through his manager, Malki Kawa that he will be looking to jump up in weight classes<\/a> following his second loss to middleweight champ Robert Whittaker, the Cuban targetted the 205-pound king.<\/p>\n Taking to Twitter yesterday, Romero fired the first call out shots of his own at Cormier by congratulating him and asking to give the people what they want in New York.<\/p>\n This led to a response from Cormier<\/a> later that day where he would shut Romero down by saying, “Here\u2019s the deal\u2026\u201d Cormier started, \u201cI never wrestled Yoel Romero, but in wrestling, he probably would have served me up. He\u2019s one of the great wrestlers of all-time. But, you don\u2019t fail a class and then get moved up a grade to the next one.”<\/em><\/p>\n Today Romero would fire back with a sizzling counter<\/a> before Cormier did so himself.<\/p>\n The last time somebody \u201cfailed a grade and moved up a #class<\/a> \u201c look like it work good @dc_mma<\/a> #iseeyousoonboi<\/a> #iluhju<\/a> pic.twitter.com\/9ALIdFLE3h<\/a><\/p>\n — Peoples Champ (@YoelRomeroMMA) July 12, 2018<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n
