Why have they not announced the fight between Romero and Bisping? is it b/c they want to wait on Jacare beating Boetsch?  Romero deserves the shot and its BS he is not getting it imho.

Romero does not deserve it, watch the Romero-Jacare fight, Jacare win 2 round out of 3 and dont forget, Souza do it clean!

I agree but a win is a win so they could use that as a reason.
