Weidman, who said he doesn't want to look beyond his fight with Romero, seemed to disagree with at least one of the judges when it came to the second round in Manchester.
Bisping spent most of the five minutes on top, but was knocked down by an overhand right, a weapon which Weidman says he "couldn’t figure out a way to get out of the way of".
"I think if you almost finish the fight then you’ve won the round, I don’t care how long you were losing the round - he was never in danger in the second round so I thought he won that," the New Yorker said.
Bisping's next fight will likely come against either the winner of Weidman-Romero or whoever comes out on top when former champ Luke Rockhold faces Jacare Souza in Melbourne next month.
But based on how unimpressed Weidman was with the current champion's first defence, the prospect of a meeting with The Count clearly isn't something he's afraid of.
