In case you were wondering:
Deaf: Matt Hamill
Dumb: Jeff Mullen
Blind: Cecil Peoples
I’m giving Doug Crosby a free pass for actually scoring the bout correctly, but this has to be the worst decision since Ted Danson went blackface at Friar’s.
And the audacity of Michael Bisping to celebrate in the ring and dance on the soul of Matt Hamill. Bisping did not defeat Hamill — incompetent officiating defeated Matt Hamill.
Part of what makes this decision such a travesty was the performance of Hamill. I’ve never been too impressed with his ability in the past but his performance at UFC 75 was a tour de force. For the first time since TUF 3 I’m actually looking forward to Matt Hamill’s next fight.
As for Michael Bisping? Not since Edward Longshanks have I’ve loathed an Englishman with such vigor.
While we’re on the topic of European Imports, Marcus Davis gave us the evening’s most thrilling performance against Paul Taylor. In the spirit of Hughes/Trigg 2, Davis managed a dramatic comeback worthy of future highlight shows. And credit to the referee as well for making the right call and not stopping the fight.
Marcus Davis has worked hard to rebuild his UFC career and his ability to finish Paul Taylor with an armbar is a perfect example of how far he’s come. People who think you only tune in to see marquee names usually miss exciting fights like this one.
Speaking of marquee names, Alessio Sakara may have lost the opportunity to fight one after his quick loss to Houston Alexander. In our exclusive interview, Sakara made such a point of saying that he was a new and improved fighter, yet he still made the same mistakes he made against McFedries and Lister.
I know it’s a little early to have Houston Alexander approach the throne, but he needs an opponent who can take a punch - or take it to the ground. Let’s see what Tito Ortiz is up to after his rematch with Rashad Evans.
And to all you haters out there: MIRKO CRO COP IS BACK! Well, not really. I just wanted to feel good for the few seconds it took me to type that.
It was hard for me to watch Cro Cop fight Cheick Kongo. Watching him crumpled up against the cage clinging to his little Mirko’s after an errant Kongo knee pretty much sums up how I was feeling as well.
Filipovic spent most of his career as one of the world’s best. That time has unfortunately come and gone, but however he may end his career in the UFC, there was a time when he was very special.
And let’s not take anything away from Kongo. He looked pretty special himself as he dominated every round. Is this really the same guy that got taken down at will by Carmelo Marrero?
Many thought Quinton “Rampage” Jackson would be taken down by Dan “Hollywood” Henderson, but tonight I really noticed how much Rampage has matured as a fighter.
A few years ago Jackson had run-ins with Wanderlei Silva, Mauricio Rua and Jesus Christ. I thought each encounter left him one step closer to retirement but he’s really hit his stride since then going 6-0 in the last two years and defeating top stars like Lindland, Liddell, and now Henderson.
Where does he go from here? How about Rampage/Rua II? That’s assuming Forrest Griffin doesn’t throw a wrench in the works at UFC 76.
UFC 75 was a solid event that had some great action and one heinous decision. It also showcased the talents of Yves Lavinge - who believe it or not has yet to be booed. Doesn’t sound that impressive until you realize that he’s both a referee and a Canadian.

The Hamill decision was one of the worst I’ve ever seen in the UFC. Judges making fixed decisions for home town heroes is something I would expect from a Don King boxing event. Dana White has some explaining to do!
I agree about the bad decision, however, Hamill did not help himself much. It looked to me like he got winded and lost some steam, otherwise, I think it would have been a much more concise victory for him.
It’s amazing to me how smug the English can be. They are clearly not educated on the “sweet science” (to borrow a phrase from boxing - forgive me) of MMA. I can not believe the boos from the crowd during the main event. Granted, not the most exciting fight ever, but a very good technical fight. If they want to see nothing but swinging fists, let them go to a soccer game. There usually are plenty of asanine goons there to entertain the simple minded.
I have to say, I was a little surprised by Jackson… much more depth than I had anticipated he had. Things didn’t look good for him to start, but as Henderson winded, he showed more ability than I thought he had. Well deserved win, but can he stay at the top of LH long???
I agree. Bisping has nothing to be proud of. He is a B - fighter at best and will never rise to the top because of lack of skill and an abundance of poor attitude. The outcome of this fight was one of the worst decisions in UFC history. Good thing they were in London. Seeing him dance around made me want to throw up. He should hang his head in shame and the officials decision is at best shamefull.
i was there and im english. I have to say i was embarrassed by the attitude of alot of the crowd,like 2Bad said whenever the fight went to the ground the crowd started to boo. Not all of us followed suit with that. If they want to see stand up all the time then go watch boxing.
Also have to say that Bisping was exceptionally lucky and home advantage played alot into it, i think their would of been a mini riot if he had lost on points.
There was some good natured banter between the brits and the americans in the crowd that started to spill over into a bit of an alcohol enfused standoff. an example was three blokes sitting infront of me were barracking some americans other side of arena during the bisping fight and they were not even bothered watching the fight just singing “engerlandddd, engerlannd” total idiots.
hopefully UFC will return to these shores again with a bit more of an educated audience.
When Bisping’s name was called, my jaw hit the floor. As for him being winded, of course he was. Look at how much he did compared to Bisping. Hamill took Bisping down SIX times during that fight. They may as well just have brought Bisping down to the octagon and raised his arm.
This decision was ridiculous. What did Bisping do to win that fight? A travesty. I look forward to seeing him get destroyed once Dana stop protecting him. What an ass.
I was at the event last night in London. Following the Bisping decision, the crowd booed so loudly you couldn’t hear the post-fight comments. While the English are proud of their fighters, they aren’t blind. Everyone was joking afterwards about how Bisping won the homer call of the night and they knew was beaten fair and square.

Maybe punches to the gloves were counted for points? I was telling my buddies that Hamil might get robbed even before the fight started. B.S. like this is why I stopped watching boxing.
Hamil was pretty well taking down Bisping at will but instead of going for his usual boring style he went for something the fans wanted AND still won the fight.
You know Joe Rogan wanted to say something; he did his best; ‘Bisping should be dropping to 185lbs.’
This sucks: Does this fixed decision benefit both fighters? Probably, Bisping is still the Goldenboy (even after his shameless after fight comments) overseas and Hamil is the poor guy who tried to do it the hard way so he could please fans, did it, and was then robbed; people love that sort too.
the guy
hamill looked good early, but was shuffling around the octagon like a low motion sleep walker in the third. Lost a lot of respect for bisbing after some of his comments and actions after the fight. dancing around like he knocked him out or just won a belt……come on! I gained a lot of respect for hamill. he was very gracious in defeat, saying bisping beat him fair and square( even though it wasn’t)
What is cro cop’s deal……WOW!, thats all i can say.
very impressed with davis. rallied back to win in impressive fashion. i’d like to see him in there with a more established guy, to see how far he really has come since the show. kos or burkman would be a good match up(might be a step down for kos though). a good fight would be davis and lytle.
rampage looked good and focused and ready to put on a good run as light heavy champ. lets just hope that talk of wanting 6 months off to do a reality show was just abunch of BS. as for henderson, get him there against winner of silva/franklin as soon as possible.
whats wrong with canadians? just becasue our ref’s don’t have sweet facial hair doesn’t mean there not good……….come on
Wow…What a night…Kind of disappointing in many aspects…
Honestly, I hope to hear over the next couple of days that Cro Cop was hurt. I think he messed up his left hand/arm. He threw like one defensive punch in the third with the left that was scoring big time in the first.
The Bisping sham was absolutely disgusting. I don’t know how they gave him that fight. Because he was given that fight. That was the worst decision ever, it even beats the Griffin/Ortiz match, which was ironically played right before the event!!! I think the reason why they showed Hamill highlights when they were interviewing Bisping is because even the guys that put the highlights together know that Hamill won!!! This was truly the most disappointing point of the night. I hope that we hear that two judges picked the wrong corner accidentally…
The last fight of the night was pretty good although it was really close, it really could have went either way.
With the Irish hand bomb, he’s lucky that he had the ref he had. He always lets it go on long…Any other referee and that fight was stopped.
I’m still so stinking mad about the Bisping fight….
“im surprised by the decision, mike did a good job of fighting, michael bisping is the ultimate fighter, he beat me fair and square.
i give him alot of credit, but i thought i won that fight, but i know he was(/this) in his hometown and
it was a close fight and i give him alot of credit.”
those are the exact words of his post fight interview, he kind of contradicts himself when he says he thought he won AND mike beat him fair and square

You act like the English are the only ones who boo at the sight of any grappling. With the exception of the Japanese and maybe a few others, pretty much every other country just wants to see a kickboxing match with plenty of blood and a flashy KO.
anyone else think bisping’s foot work looked awful? i thought he was gonna trip himself a couple of times there he was trying to shuffle so fast.
Hamill won that fight, i was shocked when they called Bigspings name
Dude, he was merely giving respect to Michael “The Cunt” Bisping, but disagreeing with the judges decision, dumbass.
Much respect to Hamill, these dudes must have a rematch with no judges and no time limits to determine the undisputed winner.

Haha, are you seriously putting up an argument for Bisping winning?
????????????What did Michael Bisping do to win that fight? Unbelieveable! Hometown advantage? Did Don King promote this fight? Where was Dana White? Where were the judges? Was two of them from England? Did they get the fighters confused because they have the same haircut??????
I HOPE THEY ARE NOT ALLOWED TO JUDGE MMA AGAIN!
Lesson boys & girls, this is why you dont gamble on sports.
I was so happy, I picked split decision for Matt Hamill on MMA PLAYGROUND.When the decision came in for Bisbing I flipped the fuck out. Still flipping out.
I want to know what was said about this in the post-conference interviews.

I don’t care what Matt Hamill said after the fight, Matt won that fight and it wasn’t even close. He walked through M.B. Joe kept saying how M.B. better think about moving down to 185 lbs. I guess them other two judges were watching the same fight you was.
I have to say as a Brit that I think the O2 Arena won the fight for Bisping. Their would have been a lynching had the decision not been given to Bisping.
That was absolutlye the worst bullshit decision I’ve ever seen when they called Bisping’s name. I didn’t see the Clay Guida-Tyson Griffin fight people were upset over but I’m sure this has to top that.
You could argue Bisping MAYBE won the last round- I don’t think he did- but Hamill absolutely won the first two. Should have resulted in a unanimous decision with 30-27 or 29-28 scores.
I don’t blame Bisping for losing the fight- he was just out fought. I don’t think it is to his advantage frankly to fight in front of his home crowd and carry an unblemised record. That’s a tonne of pressure. But yeah the c.unt shouldn’t have been celebrating and giggling like a little british bitch. He’s on my shit list now. That little suckling pig better drop down to 185 to avoid any rematch.
If there is any justice in the world the UFC will keep Hamill around. Their hands are bloody in this so they won’t acknowledge it was a bad decision. Dana White’s staffers probably IM’d the judges what the decision should be. What a disgusting, bullshit fixed fight.
Now that is ‘dirty boxing’- the old school kind.
That Bisping fight was BS…..He lost, I know it and everyone who saw it knows it. It sucks because I was a fan of his when he fought in TUF 3.
How could Bisping win after he ran away for 3 rounds? Matt was robbed. Period. Someone had money on this fight and the judges did the wrong thing.
It is time for Bisping to move down. At 205 he can be moved around like a rag doll. At 185 he might have a little power. The fact he was given that decision was a travesty to those with eyes

Hamill is just being a good sport. That decision was a fucking travesty. And no I’m not just saying that because I happen to be American. I didn’t really have a preference pre-fight. Hamill’s improved his stand-up but he still has to work on his ground game. He had plenty of chances to really put the fight out of reach- make it a blowout. But in hindsight, nothing short of a complete knockout of Bisping would have affected the judges scoring. That was as fixed as they come.
How disgraceful of Bisping to gloat after the decision, and not even acknowledge Hamill. Deep down, doesn’t he have to know that Hamill won? Is Bisping delusional, or just that full of himself??
Yes, Hamill did lose steam later in the fight, but in my humble opinion, Bisping just didn’t do enough to win that fight, not even defensively.
I’m outraged by the decision, and I can’t wait to see Hamill fight again. I hope he doesn’t let this stop him.

You hear that too quickly over on this side of the pond too. The Japanese Pride fans seem to be the only fans who sit quietly. You can make an argument either way as to whether the Japanese fans have a greater admiration for the tactical struggle for position or they are just more passive and submissive people afraid to speak out.
In Europe and I think most everywhere besides the US- they generally whistle instead of boo’ing. American fans used to not get that. So we heard a very special thing last night when the fans became restless in the American idiom.

I agree- they were a pretty obnoxious crowd. It was worse than when the Americans were chanting “USA” during the Hughes/St.Pierre fight. So embarrassing.
Enough about the Bisping scandal.
Houston Alexander convinced me last night. The Jardine fight wasn’t just a fluke. Dude is a Mack truck. He reminds me of Rampage from years back when Rampage would just run through guys ungracefully. You can bum rush the competition like that on the way up but as he works his way up the food chain he’s going to need more. Maybe he has more in his toolbox but just hasn’t gotten far enough into a fight to need it. I’m curious who his next opponent will be because now the UFC should put him in protected status and groom him for the title shot. He’s like 36 though so we’re not looking at a dynasty here. I don’t know who they can feed him next- maybe Bonnar? Or give him winner of Tito-Rashad… not the loser.
“It’s amazing to me how smug the English can be. They are clearly not educated on the “sweet science” (to borrow a phrase from boxing - forgive me) of MMA. I can not believe the boos from the crowd during the main event.”
A case of selective memory here I think - one thing that really irks me at UFC fights is the booing when a fight goes to the ground but it is far worse in the USA especially in Vegas, I have also seen the crowd boo within 30 seconds of the start of the fight because of lack of action! I remember Uriah Faber saying on TV that he went to a UFC fight (in the states) & the crowd booed every single fight, so I would not be so patronising with your comments & look closer to home. By the way I thought Hamill won as well but definitely Bisping won one round so it wasnt as much of a travesty as some would suggest, I have seen far worse. (By the way i’m not English)

Girl, you are dead on.
While we are all focusing on the Bull-shit decision, which it totally was, worse than guida/griffin, but Hamill looked much inproved. He has a chin and his striking has improved greatly.
Bisping is a punk who needs to drop to middleweight. Hamill was very impressive imo.
Matt Hamill was the aggressor, scored the more clean punches (even rocked Bisbing a few times), and had several take downs. Is it me or was that the worst decision in MMA history? I can’t even think of anything that Bisbing did that could have remotely resulted in him winning that fight. If being totally dominated is what they used to score the fight, then I agree. Matt showed class by his post fight interview in the ring. I would’ve been outraged! I hope that MMA judges aren’t coming over from boxing, because that is what it looked like. Anyone that knows MMA knows that was a disgraceful decision.
Hamill clearly won the fight!! he was robbed. Bisping was running away the whole fight.. f@ck the judges.
Im Bispings biggest fan……
Shocking decision the judges , He needs to drop before he gets hurt bad at LHW IMO
good fight by hamill prove he is better then gisping either on ground or stricking
jackson/ hendo jackson he migh win but he won’t last champion
for that long
let’s face it cro cop is doneeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

He also said that he thought he won the fight, in the ring…That was a draw at Michael Bispings best…Now he is he going to fight? He has to fight real fighters in that division. No more wrungs in Dana Whites LAdder to baby him…He has to fight real competitors from this point on. No more givemes in the division left. Forrest, Rashad, Tito, The Dean of Mean, Huston Alexander or do we give him another win against the People Champ Ross Pointon. You do realize 4 or is it 3 of his 14 undefeated wins come against Ross. Or does he go down in wieght and fight Dean Lister, Nathan Marquardt, Rich FRanklin, Anderson Silva, or the list of other nobodies in that wieght division besides the aformentioned cream of the crop in that division? I can not wait to see him fight a level A fighter. He has shown he can barely handle a B level fighters. Do not get me wrong he has potential and he is young but to celebrate a victory where both eyes are swelling shut, you spent the majority of the fight running or on your back is completely and utterly insane. TO bad Hammill let him up the few times that he did. I can not believe the one judge that gave all 3 rounds to Bisping. Can we say Travesty. Well I guess thats the way the cookie or shall we say tea biscuit crumbles when you are trying to make a name for yourself in England(Dana).
As far as the English fight fans booing the main fight, I agree it is mixed martial arts not boxing or a tuff man contest. IT reminded me of the Elite XC Fights on Showtime. Any ground work or Cage work (ie. dirty boxing) is completely booed. But I think(hope anyway) that will subside more in the future as the British Fans start getting educated on the sport as a whole. It is even a younger sport there than it is here so with due time respect for the ground game should come.
Awful….just an awful decision!!!! Then to run your gums like you just pounded the guy into the ground. Bisping lives in his own little world. He is a legend in his own mind. To gloat and disrespect Hamill like he did after the fight was an outrage. Angered me to the point I wanted to punch the tv.
Hamill’s post fight comments…words from a true fighter. He didn’t want to start complaining about the decision. He knew he won, but he knows that the decision of the judges is final. So why whine about it on tv. Unlike what we would have seen from Bisping if he had lost.
Bisping ran for three rounds and Hamill showed who was the real winner of the Ultimate Fighter. Bisping’s comments leading up to the fight about Hamill not being in his class and not earning the right to fight him, sure were silenced when Matt pounded the daylights out of Mike in the first round.
“The Count” was down for the count. Matt keep your head up and fight on. You truley were robbed in London.
I had friends over to watch the fights, who have never seen these fights before and each one was shocked that the decision went to Bisping. Hamill was tired, but he still was more dominant. Then after the decision, Bisping was really acting as if he just mauled Hamill, and that the judges had clearly seen him pull off a Rocky/Ivan Drago fight. Very poor indeed.
This fight was just like Rocky IV, Bisping being Appollo, the way he entered the cage trying to wave to every fan(judge) in the place. Hamill kicked britbutt all over the cage the whole fight, dominated the stand-up and the ground, I knew coming into the fight if it went to the scorecards it would be one-sided. If this fight would have been in Vegas or anywhere in the U.S. I guarantee Hamill would have won. Hamill has NOTHING to be ashamed of, we all know who won. As for Bisping, if you got the guts, drop down to 185 and let Hughes show you what a REAL ULTIMATE FIGHTER IS. I used to have a little respect for Bisping but after gloating about a fight you really lost, come on. Not giving any credit to a man that beat you? Bisping, no class, YOU SUCK!!!!
“…Deaf: Matt Hamill
Dumb: Jeff Mullen
Blind: Cecil Peoples…”
Man, this still has me laughing.
are you kidding me? bisping won? that was a complete disgrace. bisping was running away from hamill the entire fight. hamill hurt him with those shots to the face. hamill took him to the ground. bisping got a few jabs off during the fight, but they hit hamill’s arms. he did get hit a few times though. dana white should look into that judging “effort”. something was wrong there. Props to hamill though for taking it like a man. you think a kid, who’s trying to get a big contract in the UFC would announce that he thought it was a joke, and that the judges were a joke? all in front of dana white? of course he’ll take it like a man, that’s what hamill is, A MAN…. unlike that pu$$ bisping… “go back to wrestling” looked to EVERYONE that the “wrestler” left some nice lumps on your face…. what an ass. i urge everyone to go to http://www.bisping.tv, go to contacts, and send his “manager” a message about how you think he did.

This is nonsense, Hamill made Bisping look like an idiot in the first round, then the second and third rounds weren’t very decisive- I would have given one round to both fighters. I think that Hamill got robbed. Then Bisping gloats about his win without giving Hamill any credit…
I hope that Bisping stays at 205 long enough to get knocked out or to rematch Hamill.

He isn’t contradicting himself, he means that he would have scored the fight differently but the judge’s decision is final. There were some boos in the crowd after Bisping won in his homeland, showing that this is really a controversial decision.
hey mania, cecil peoples was the only one who scored the fight for hamill. It was that guy Watts that was blind
Matt was robbed, but he sure showed class about it. I think a rematch should take place.
I gotta say, I am (Was?) a Bisping fan and was actually hoping for Bisping to score a solid win, but that was absolute bullshit, and I was extremely disappointed with his handling of the win. His comments were borderline retarded (”Back to wrestling!”? Really? Considering a good portion of the fight was standing and Bisping was still getting whacked?) and he’s lucky to remain undefeated, because unlike Hamill he really hasn’t improved a great deal over time.
The look on Cro Cop’s face as they prepared to announce the decision was absolutely brutal. Poor guy…
And Houston Alexander is awesome. I love that guy now, ha, ha…
Michael “The Cunt” Bisping lost that fight and his dignity.
Congrats to Matt Hammill for his performance and his show of class in “defeat”
This is the worse decision to date. My phone rang off the hook right after the decision with all of my friends in shock. I was in shock too! I was pulling for Bisping but it is very disappointing to see a horrible decision in MMA…I thought that was for boxing. Although Hamill has never really impressed me before, he looked a little better last night. He clearly earned a win. I’d love to see a poll for all viewers to vote. The results would speak loud and clear.
Personally, I don’t think the fight was as one-sided as some of you obviously do. Hamill had a chance to take over and dominate this fight, and he didn’t. When that happens, you leave yourselves open to opinion.
Still, if I’d been a judge, I’d have awarded the bout to Hamill by a slight margin.
Worst decision I’ve ever seen, but Im glad most of us here agree. Bisping was straight up scared of the power that hamil had, you could clearly see that in round 2 as Bisping was very timid about exchanging with him. Then in round 3 he was fighting out of desperation which to me showed that he knew he was in trouble and then the worst decision I have seen in the history of MMA.
Just makes me think Bisping is even more of a hack, and everyone talks like he is the knew breed of fighter, he would get destroyed by any top 10 fighter out there…..the Hometown fix was definately in affect last night.
BIGGEST RIPOFF EVER!! MATT DESTROYED BISPING!!
AND THAT MORON CELEBRATES AFTER LOOKING LIKE A COMPLETE IDIOT..RUNNING AWAY LIKE A 3RD GRADER DISGUSTING..I WILL NEVER WATCH UFC AGAIN

The reason they showed Hammil highlights is because there were not Bisping highlights to show…sure he ran fast but wasn’t a track meet.
Bisping got beaten fair and square and he knows it. Hamill should have gotten the win. At least he had some take downs and was a gracious “loser”. Bisping, take a lesson in good sportsmanship.
What an embarrassment! Too bad that UFC is going the way of pro boxing…who is taking the fall in UFC 76?
Dana, you should be ASHAMED!

Your going to give the fight to Bisping b/c Hamill was gracious in defeat? Better change your name to ontarioblindfan! HAMILL DESTROYED BISPING HANDS DOWN!
U.F.C. WILL LOSE FANS BULLSHIT
The Bisping “win” was the worst MMA decision I’ve ever seen. We all have to realize that we live in a world where NBA referees are for sale…….so why should we expect anything different in UFC. Dana White has an opportunity to correct this injustice. If he chooses to hide behind the judges he will reap what he has sown. Maybe Scotland Yard and the US Dept of Justice should consider subpoeaning the personal bank accounts of the judges over the next 6 months. The integrity of the scoring process is the very foundation of the entire MMA movement; and it has been compromised.
I suppose to attempt to justify the decision you could say they were in Arena at Ringside and didn’t have the upclose camera shots we did have on TV. Also the fact the O2 Arena went nuts everytime Bisping even tapped Hamill could have lead them to think the shots were doing a lot more damage than they were.
I pose again who do you all think he fights from here? With the exception of going down in weight, he has no more giveme’s left at 205. Do you think he tries his luck against a high level B fighter like a Forrest or Tito. Do you think he drops down to 185 and fights a few of the no namers or somebody like a Patrick Cote, whos pinpoint boxing and kicking I think would overwhelm The Cunt(great nickname by the way PissedBritt), in that weight class to find direction? I personally feel it is a long while before he is a level A competitor in any weight class{if he ever hits that teir of fighting)in the UFC. I do not believe he will make it past it B level personally but crazy shyte has happened in the UFC.

Its called humility, something Bisping had none of.
Last night was Bispings chance for winning the title. Im sure the judges would have decisioned him over Rampage too.

Poor Matt. I felt sorry for him after the fight, he should of won, we all know it. It was pretty much high school all over again, they gave the win to the popular kid. Now its time for a bully aka Houston to beat up Bisping.
p.s Kongo is the missing link!
I guess I am alone in thinking Bisping deserve the win. The first goes to Hamill and the third went to Bisping. The second was close but Hamill was tired, and he threw and landed less punches than Bisping. Hamill took him down a few times but he could do nothing on the ground. Although, Hamill stalked Bisping it was Bisping who actually initiated the action, and he landed more punches.
Don’t just whine tell UFC how you feel here: http://www.ufc.com/index.cfm?fa=misc.contact
[quote comment=”145577″]This fight was just like Rocky IV, Bisping being Appollo, the way he entered the cage trying to wave to every fan(judge) in the place. Hamill kicked britbutt all over the cage the whole fight, dominated the stand-up and the ground, I knew coming into the fight if it went to the scorecards it would be one-sided. If this fight would have been in Vegas or anywhere in the U.S. I guarantee Hamill would have won. Hamill has NOTHING to be ashamed of, we all know who won. As for Bisping, if you got the guts, drop down to 185 and let Hughes show you what a REAL ULTIMATE FIGHTER IS. I used to have a little respect for Bisping but after gloating about a fight you really lost, come on. Not giving any credit to a man that beat you? Bisping, no class, YOU SUCK!!!![/quote]
hughes fights at 170. i think you want to see silva maul him at 152
Welcome to the ranks of pro boxing UFC im not a fan of either of these guys but that decision was a tragedy. M.B has no class at all he should sell popcorn in the cheap seats.
bisping was the better fighter he was more agressive in the last 2 rounds hamill threw like 5 punches and they all missed.So what that hamill got some take downs they were like accidental takedowns.you guys dont even know the rules of the octagon do ya? bisping threw 100 punches and hamill threw about 30.
I went into this fight pulling for Bisping. Hey took an @$! wooping. For any judge to score that fight for Bisping is dead wrong. Matt showed heart and class in how he conducted himself. The guy watching the fight with me is new to the sport and asked me about the the rules for judging because he couldn’t understand how Bisping won that fight. I agree with Rogan, Bisping better move down to 185 or it will get real ugly for him real soon
ohh and even hamill said he thought bisping was more aggressive and threw more punches.
hamill wasnt impressive at all
This decision was a sham, Matt won - it is obvious that was fixed. I thought this was a legit sport not acting like big time wrestling. UFC - where are the girls, makeup and spandex because you lost all your credibility!!!!
That had to be the wort judging in history. Hamill controled the fight from beginning to the end. Yes, he had many chances to end the fight, but bisping had none. And then to run his mouth like he deserved to win makes me not have any desire to watch him fight ever again. I liked him as a fighter until last night.
