  • i gave sonnen rounds 1 and 3. 1 because i score takedowns more than i score pushing a guy against the cage

  • Sonnen won.. but it was close..

  • Bisping won

  • lol Chael won that fight hands down....10-10 first and second round and third round Chael took it....Bisping can beat him in a 5 round fight...he couldve beat him in this fight but simply didnt do enough....everybody wanna see Chael vs Anderson....lets see

  • Now... Why can`t Chael be like that ,,, that is more of a Man and be more humble and not talk so much pooop,, I love&hate chael ,, yes ,, He is a great Fighter but I gave the fight to Bisping...

  • Bisping smashed Sonnen if Sonnen beats Silva watch out

  • bisping++

  • I'm with m747....

    ..

  • I'll tell you just cause you're on top doesn't mean she's getting off.position is irrelevant if you can't cause damage you're just wearing yourself out in a 5 round fight chael would be asleep on canvas halfway through. 4 bet that

  • Bisping was my pick for his season on TUF and I was happy when he won. Then it seems like he got REALLY arrogant and full of himself. After he got *knocked slam out* by Hendo, he seemed to get a bit more humble. I love that he's being so honest and magnanimous here. I can tolerate him again.

  • I hate bisping like I can't stand him but he won that fight and he's so humble in defeat even though he got robbed gotta respect Dat

  • I watched the fight. Bisping won that fight. Sonnen looked like he was stoned. Very sluggish. Once on the ground, he was very ineffective. Bisping gives the last round to Sonnen, but, really, what did Sonnen do? He took Bisping down, and just held him there. Very little in the way of submission attempts, and very little in they way of striking. He will have to be WAAAAAY better to even have a small chance of beating Silva. The spider may not show him any mercy, if they fight again. I hope not!

  • I really believe that Chael won all three rounds or at least two out of three.

  • @SecroAdamir well you obviosly dont understand mma fighting!

  • @AMERICAN4E Well, Chael appeared to be more dominant. Bisping really didn't do anything special on the standup except for holding Chael against the cage. Chael had more takedowns, effective grappling. So, how to do you figure. Explain to me how Bisping won in your eyes.

  • @SecroAdamir well chael scored more takedowns,and bisping scored more shots,but 2 takedowns dont win a match,and to be more specific,to score a take down is one,and to keep you opponent on the ground is onether...i think it was a prety even match,exept for bisping implementing his own game,and scoring more in the stand up,loook fuck it dont want to argue :)

  • I have never thought about fights being fixed in the UFC but after the judges rendered their decision i thought it was fixed for half a second mostly because of how much money the UFC would make if Sonnen fights Silva. I was going for Sonnen but Bisping clearly won this fight so i don't know what to believe now

  • @punisheralex C'mon! Chael was imposing his will more! Chael got more advantageous positions, more effective grappling and slightly more octagon control. What did Bisping have? Plz tell me lol

  • @SecroAdamir 1. Stand up 2. More strikes landed 3. More heavier strikes landed 4. clinch striking 5. More damage

  • chael is that dude

  • Bisping won that fight in my eyes..

  • he won the first 2

  • Chael's WWE acting is lame & I don't know how people still think he's anything but retarded. Anderson vs Bisping wouldn't even happen cuz it'd be too one sided. Chael won't be champ.

  • I watched the fight again and Chael won the first round, second even, third was Chael's no doubt. Suck it up Bisping, you were dominated and by that you lost.

  • @HoneyMonster666 naaaa

  • @HoneyMonster666 did you even watch the video???

  • @jxcream

    Twice lol

    Chael dominated Bisping no doubt and when it comes to the judges he was going to get the decision on aggression and octagon control. I just saw the better man win. :)

  • @HoneyMonster666 octagon control?are you blind?or just fucking stupid?

    bisping controled the fight,and he had the first 2 rounds,and he did good in the third,twll you what,if chael dominated,why did the renound restler didnt restle?and got pushed in the fence all the time,ill tell you why,cose he talks the talk,but doesent walk the walk,watch the fight close,and score it for your self,and youll see that he didnt win

  • @AMERICAN4E

    He didn't win lol your entitled to your opinion however, Chael was more dominant and had Bisping on the ground afew times and it was no know doubt in my mind who the Victor was. As for Bisping controling the fight? he was up against the cage and on the ground for most of it. That doesn't constitute Victory for me and the judges agree. Another win for the gangster! :)

  • @HoneyMonster666 well you my friend are retarted,do you even know what octagon contol is?bisping control the first 2 rounds he had the octagon center, and he pushed sonnen to the cage and held him there...i think you should learn more about the sport,and than yap about it here,i am done talking,no point in arguing with dumb mofos!

  • @AMERICAN4E

    Retarded I am, and thats my right. I've been following MMA for a long time and decisions go either way. There seems to be a grey area in the final decision making process cuz most of the Judges are from a boxing background. I felt the fight was close and a draw would of suited both parties. However, Chael dominated front & center (octagon control) and I felt that would be the key decider. Nobody wins fighting off their back. :)

  • chael won this fight. the striking was about even. and chael took him down numerous times. bisping had one takedown. chael and bisping were fairly even striking but chael was better thn bisping when it came to takedowns.

  • U NEED TO BOW DOWN TO CHAEL LIKE U SAID,HE IS THE GREATEST U PROMISED U DIRTY LIL BRITISH

  • @clfninja emm what exactly is ur problem with british people u cunt?

  • @Jakkzxx one thing is i know ur not british ur a ugly ass 2 pound make up wearing skank, but no problem with bisping i like him douchebag.

  • Not really a Bisping fan, but feel he won the fight. Sonnon's post fight interview with Rogan was pathetic. His boasting at times has been amusing, but even though I'm not a fan of the Spider's...I hope he boots Chael's arrogant head off.

  • @ipsofacto297: yeah it was pathetic indeed. Does he really not know that he's making an ass out of himself?

  • @ipsofacto297 how are you not a fan of silva?

  • @timmybus21 He lost me after his antics with Thales Leites and Damian Maia. Trying to humiliate an opponent of lesser ability shows no class.

  • @ipsofacto297 fightmetric gave Chael the victory.

  • Plain and simple Bisping got.mounted more than once. I like Bisping more. Rewatch the fight sonnen had a lil edge not much though and there is nothing to really argue about lol

  • Thats the first time ive ever heard an English guy say hater lol Bisping you did great bro

  • Bisping lost the first two rounds. Chael had a bad night..Bisping you need therapy. You lost the first 2 rounds.

  • @EddieKuntz94 you have no clue of what the fuck your talking about, I said bisping was on his back, read carefully.

  • I honestly believe Chael won legitimately, albeit by a very close margin. the 2nd round was Bisping's where the 3rd round was Chael's. I suspect that on account of the sheer dominance of chael's performance in the 3rd round convinced the judge's to award him the 1st which was a toss up for either fighter, but watching it a second time is what convinced me that he has a legitimate claim to the first round.

  • (Cont) game, that's what makes me a fan of mma, not some asshole whining and bitching about it, if I didn't have an appreciation of the ground game I wouldn't watch mma, makes fucking since to me.

  • @TheIronDie sure you can, it's a 5 minute round that bisping spent the overwhelming majority of the time on his back in a defensive position, when both fighters nullify eachother the points are clearly going to go to the fighter in dominant position, you don't have to like it but it is what it is, you can't score mma like boxing because mma has a ground game and if your going to take away from the ground game why watch mma? Why fucking call it mma? I like the ground,striking,clinch,submiss­ion

  • @irishphil757 Bisping wasn't in a dominate posision though, especially when he got mounted for 3 minutes in the last round.

  • We all know Bisping got robbed because Chael Sonnen would bring more money vs Silva than Bisping

  • @M747202172763: interesting to look at it that way.

  • @HKA25 yeah like some fighters have already mentioned, there's a lot of politics that also go behind some big fights. In that fight, even Sonnen admitted that Bisping had him beat the first 2 rounds. Who's a better judge then the fighter himself? It's UFC politics man

  • I think either it was a draw or Chael won, but no way Bisping won.

  • @EddieKuntz94 how was it a draw without any 10-8 rounds?

  • @kfhansen1990 if the judge consider the first round a 10-10 round. it happens

  • @kfhansen1990 I feel like the first round was 10, 10... second 10,9 Bisping, third Sonnen 10,9.... But Again Michael Bisping didn't do enough to win the fight.

  • I don't understand how or why people are saying bisping won this fight. Sonnen outstruck him every round and got 4 takedowns to bispings 1. Look at facts before you start making stupid statements. It really makes you look dumb

  • @txhtr333 MMA isn't about scoring take down buddies.

  • @woohay You get credited for takedowns ina math

  • i fuckin hate ariel helwani

  • if bisping got over it then all u fucks get over it period

  • @fleetcadi1 Poor little boy can't handle other people expressing a different opinion from his own, hmmn ? Poor little baby ...

  • @damens i should have figured u were a piece of shit ausie go get drunk off fosters and fuck a kangaro u sick fuck beastiality child

  • @fleetcadi1 You STILL crying like a little bitch ?? Seems like it must be WAY past your bed-time little man - get your parents to tuck you in tight and give you a nice warm milk - you'll feel better in the morning ... ;)

    PS - Everyone here says thanks for the laughs (naked stupidity always gets my friends going) !! Nitey nite, and don't let da boogey man scare yo no mo', K ?

  • @elliottsmith10 first and foremost you fucking pole smoker its my opinion and I think its a pretty damn good one, you on the other hand are a little bisping nut hugging cunt like your whore mammy, it's a good thing you can talk shit on a computer because if you ever called me a fucking idiot face to face I would slap the fucking taste and teeth out of your dick suckers, then I'd punch your mother exactly 100 times in her dumb fucking face just for giving birth to you, how do you like that shit?

  • @irishphil757 you are a a kid lol

    

  • bisping round one 10-9 bisping round two 10-9 chael round 3 10-9 NOT 10-8

  • Round 1= draw, round 2 = 10-9 bisping, round 3= 10-8 sonnen, you have to give sonnen a 10-8 in round 3 simply because he held bisping down the entire time except the last couple of seconds, bisping had a slight edge in the stand up and even hurt chael in the 1st round but couldn't capitalize on it throughout the fight, sonnen held bisping down but couldn't do much damage but bisping didn't do to much off his back either in the 3rd, sonnen won because he got takedowns and was in dominant position

  • @irishphil757 You cant give a 10-8 to Sonnon last round coz Bisping got a take down at the end and landed two hard looking Elbows. IMO.

  • @irishphil757 Sonnen*

  • @irishphil757 are you kidding me a 10-8 round? please do NOT ever score an mma bout. you are the ppl say dont leave it to the judges. fucking idiot.

  • I think people need to watch the fight again. I thought Bisping won 29-28... but after watching the fight again, twice - the 1st round was too close to call. The 1st round just depends on whether the viewer prefers Sonnen's aggression & relentless pursuit of the takedown or if they prefer Bisping's shockingly good takedown defence, his superior clinch control, & him winning the striking exchanges in the center. That 1st round was so close that it just depends on what the viewer thinks...

  • A man with good positive attitude

  • How can anyone make an agrument that the first round was Bisping's? Chael took him down twice. Bisping may have edged him in the stand up but didn't land any devastating blows that would win him that round. And holding Chael against the cage doesn't mean shit when you were taken down twice. Chael clearly won the first and third round, the second one was close.

  • @LedHendrix408 A takedown doesn't mean anything if you don't do anything with it. Saying that I think chael won the fight.

  • @Eatmybologna It still means something, it scores points. Now if Bisping rocked Chael on his feet, but he got a takedown and didn't land any punches you might have a point. But the stand up was very close, so the two take downs earn Chael the round.

  • michael bisping is humble in loss or victory. you gotta respect him for that.

  • @TheHerbDean he's generally a nice guy but has a bad temper which has earned him a bad rep. i dont blame him for the ammount of shit people talk about him though

  • @jxcream yea an people tend to forget that his opponents are usually the ones to initiate the smack talk. then he opens his mouth an everyone makes him out to be the bad guy. makes no sense.

  • @TheHerbDean lol

  • Comment removed

  • I like Bisping a little more now, but he's still a cheater.

  • Scrap the first and second rounds. The third round ultimately was what defined the winner.

  • Chael clearly won the 1st and 3rd hes a beasst and hes gonna beat anderson

  • honestly i think the first was obviously chael. chael got the takedown to get some extra points. his strikes were better and everything

  • @jdaslfjdl5435 I see how the judges could score that way, but come on man.. The first round were really close. I think Micheal landed the better, cleaner strikes and controlled Chael better on the cage. Either way Chael won the fight but you have to admit that the decision easily could have gone to Bisping aswell.

  • @TylerDurdenK7 i think the first was close but sonnen done more damage to bisping thats why after the bell rang bisping was on his knees in pain so i think that made a difference. and the takedown gave extra points. in the first round i think sonnens striking was actually better, bispings striking was really doin amazing till the 2nd

  • @caban2007 How many other fighters have been able to keep Sonnen from taking them down & smashing the fuck out of them? How many other fighters have controlled Sonnen in the clinch against the cage? Exactly... ergo: BRILLIANT defence on Bisping's part. Dumbass...

  • Comment removed

  • Sonnen is a gay ass dick licking ball sucking fag...

  • @MrPhukYu NO THATS YOUR JOB

  • @caban2007 Nah... but your mom fills in for Sonnen sometimes.

  • Even though Bising "lost," I think he proved all of the naysayers wrong. Maybe people will shut up & give Bisping the respect that he deserves now.

    Neither man did much in the 1st two rounds... but Chael did absolutely nothing with the 1 or 2 TD's in the 1st 2 rounds & Bisping would pop right back up. Bisping won the 1st two rounds 10-9 with brilliant defence, clinch control (reversing Chael against the cage multiple times) & winning the striking exchanges. Bisping CLEARLY won 29-28... robbed.

  • @PhukAdvertisements yes & mike also rocked him the only real telling shot of the fight even chael admitted after the fight that mike hurt him bad in the first round & mike didnt see it or capitalize on it ,bugger..

  • at least Bisping wasn't a sore loser unlike Sonnen after losing Silva, and also Bisping is not as cocky as he was and as arrogant as he was

  • spitsbing couldnt even beat a zombie drained sonnen

  • chael edged the first for me, obviously got 3rd.

  • Mike did enough imo! great fight!

  • i think bisping only won one round guys. watched it a couple times. first round chael by a slight margin and the 3rd was all chael

  • @Rdad85 1st round was close!

  • @AndyinMTL indeed it was.

  • bisping is a really classy guy. how 'fans' of the sport can boo him and/or any fighter, who, bleed, sweat, and cry, trying to entertain THEM is beyond me.

  • it was a back and forth fight but not really spectacular to watch..the fighters probably know who really won it, but im glad chael's getting the rematch, Bisping is still worthy of a match against silva as well in the future I think..

  • Rewatch the first round without the commentary from joe Rogan. Usually i love Rogans thoughts/analysis but chael really did win that first round. He imposed his will and pushed the pace for the 3 minutes. The last 2 minutes bisping dominated. Bisping won the second and chael won the third. Its not as controversial if you analyze that first round with out joes comments.

  • Rewatch the first round without the commentary from Joe Rogan...I usually love. Rogans

  • I think the fight was a draw.

    But it's a result that the judges seem scared to make even if it's the correct one.

  • I'm a Sonnen fan and I was rooting for him, but I too think that Bisbing got the first 2...

  • Comment removed

  • Bisping won, and Chael knows it...If the fight was close, GUARANTEED the "higher powers" at UFC told the judges to favor Sonnen in order for the blockbuster rematch with Anderson to take place.

  • @Kingjd87 Haha definitely not. You know nothing of the sport. The UFC does not hire judges, let alone pay them off or tell them to favor a fighter. All judges AND referees are hired and put in fights by the state athletic comissions - in this case illinois. To say that the UFC told them to do this is absurd. The fight could've gone either way. I've watched the fight 3 times all the way through and found that it was easier to pull a Sonnen win than a Bisping win

  • they should show us who the judges are that score it, god i will like to see who gave it 30-27

    like this judge gave it 30-27 and they show there faces on the big screen

  • he was robbed just because everyone wants the sonnen silva rematch

  • @marurikimaru The fight could've gone either way. I've watched the fight 3 times all the way through and found that it was easier to pull a Sonnen win than a Bisping win

  • @marurikimaru i understand brits being upset that their man lost. But to correct you. Any thought that the UFC was fixed should have went away when Velasquez beat Lesnar for the title being that Lesnar was and still could be the most marketable man in mma. As for the fight I think Sonnen won the fight 29-28 based on the first and third rounds.

  • IMO, Bisping won the 1st round very close, but he took the round. The 2nd would be a never ending debate, but Chael's TD's, despite not having full control made the difference nonetheless. The 3rd round was all Chael. It could've honestly been 29-28 in favor of either fighter, and it wouldn't have bothered me to see it go either way. But in these kind of fights, someone needs to lose.

  • Looks like GSP Physcologist has changed Bisping. Last night, i saw a hungry amazing fighter. I cant wait to see him fight again. I'm hoping that Bisping gets a rematch with Chael

  • @sekon2008 i dont know ow you see that, Chael won the standup game, he landed more punched and the harder punches while takeing bisping down 4 times and controlling position more. Everyone is shocked that Sonnen didnt dominate like he usually does, theres too many people caught in the moment

  • For what its worth Michael I was never a fan of yours,the attitude and the accent put me off. I havent even seen the fight yet just going by the interviews and the outcome I want to take my hat off you are definitely coming into a new "light" and I do look forward to seeing you fight more. Well done mate

  • close fight

  • bispings the true winner in my opinion, even without the W. hes won. he A. knocked off the sonnen hype B.hes won millions of fans (including myself) and C. with a performance like that hes climbed the ranks no matter what. bispings young, well rounded, and really starting to have a champions mind set. look for him to get a late 2012, early 2013 title shot, and cash it in!

  • I feel that was a totally fair and honest interview. Spot on in my opinion. I thought bisping prolly sneaked it but it was close. Hopefully Chael will now ground and pound anderson to take the belt and then we can have Bisping Sonnen 2 here at the Rose Garden here in Portland Oregon baby. A man can dream right? Dana can you hear me?

  • You can win a fight when you get outpunched, outwrestled, mounted and controlled for the most of the fight? Enough already, we all know Sonnen won, but it wasn't the most exciting win.

  • i think it was a very close fight never a 30-27 to sonnen. this fight shows bisping belongs with the best in the division. i think silva will batter sonnen this time round people keep saying sonnen was 90 secs from winning the fight fact is he lost

  • Michael should fight the winner of Silva vs. Sonnen and Munoz should fight the winner of okami vs boetch

  • dont no why everone hates bisping and he def won the fight..chael even said he did dana did joe rogan did and obv i said it so has to be true haha ahhh no seriously he was robbed am sad for me truly am:/

  • bisping got my respect in the cage

  • the way i see it is none of 'em showed any significant difference until the 3rd rd IMO it was 19-19 by the end of the 2nd .. fughtmetric has it 29-28 sonnen ... good fuight, tough to call... i did see a close Sonnen Win !

  • that judgen that scored it 30-27 needs shootin

    

  • Fixed fight. There was no question Bisping won round 1 and 2. It amazes me that the judges can mess up the one and only job given to them. I would imagine they were given direction to give the win to Sonnen for Silva/Sonnen 2. Bisping's a good fighter but doesn't really make for an interesting fight against Anderson. Sonnen sure is boring.

  • ....so what if bisping won? think he'd have a chance against anderson? lol.

  • Oh lol look at those british ragers, okay he MIGHT have won, but let's be honest, it was very close. You cannot say He BEAT Sonnen, he might have won the decision but neither of them did beat the other guy, so he cannot cry about the decision neither cau you, the british fan boys.

  • @roumanobr why do you think there british? there's a lot of american fans who think bisping should of been giving the win. don't be so ignorant an opinion should have nothing to do with what country the fighter is from

  • I am a sonnen fan who can't stand bisping but even I can see bisping won the fight. Still, sonnen vs silva is far bigger for the UFC PPV, so maybe the UFC rigged it.

  • After that fight i like Bisping. Still cant wait for Sonnen Silva II!!!!!

  • bisping clearly won the 1st and 2nd and therefore the fight anderson dodged a bullet and will fight the lesser of the two and a guy hes already faced and beat what injust yet it instills the higher grossing ppv so the ufc clearly wins on all fronts

  • Really thought Bisping took it, as a British guy I'm a little gutted but can't wait fo Sonnen Silva 2

  • atheee wetweeee quickeeee WTF is he saying?

  • i'm a huge chael sonnen fan, and even i thought Bisping won that fight lol

  • i am not a fan of the points system....you a round could be dead even but one guy wins 10-9, or a round could be clearly dominated by one fighter and recieve the same points....I like the half points system, i would have given bispinf 10-9.5 for the first 2 and chael an easy 10-9 to make it a draw....in which case it goes another round....thats the way it should be

  • 1.The fight was DEBATEABLE. Anyone saying "If you think X won you are an..." needs to shut the mothafuck up.

    2.Bisping won the 2nd pretty clearly, Chael won the 3rd clearly. 1st is a complete tossup

    3.30-27? I just don't get how judges can be so damn stupid with scores like that. Not a robbery AT ALL close fight.

  • @someperson111 You're exactly right..... I scored the fight 29-28 Sonnen but it could have easily gone the other way..... All these biased Bisping fans are acting like this is a giant conspiracy because things didn't go their way.........

  • @someperson111 word

  • @someperson111 ur a wanker who gives a shit fuck have no life , what kind of dickhead writes that long a reply

  • @someperson111 Exactly what I was thinking. People saying things like 'Omg its obvious that Chael won shut the fuck up.' Not so obvious when it was actually a split decision.

  • @someperson111 Maybe the judge that scored it 30-27 wants to really see the Silva vs Sonnen rematch, or he thought he was doing the fans a favor by trying to get the rematch.

  • It went as expected. A even fight but I would say Sonnen won round one (the closest round) Bisping won round two, and the third round was a bit of a toss up too but I would give that to Sonnen.  Sometimes you have fights that are just too close and so you may as well flip a coin. If they had of picked Bisping I think it would be equally controversial. I thought Sonnen was the aggressor and came forward more and for two rounds was able to control the fight. Great takedowns. Gassed in rd 3.

  • bull of a decision should of been a draw

  • FUCK SONNEN AND ARIEL YOU BOTH SUCK!!!!!!!!!

  • listen i am not taking anything away from bisping hes got better grappling then i thought and earned my respect in that fight. That being concerned there is no way bisping won. Sonnen clear cut won the first round i cannot remember the last time someone had 3 takedowns in a round and lost that round. Evn if bisping gets up you can take maybe one takedown away from his 3 all from his scrambling getting up. And bisping controlled the cage. Convert all those into takedowns i would say he had 2 to 3

  • HHHAAAHAHA ALL THESE AMERICANS RETARDS that though chael would destroy bisping hahahahaha bisping almost won.

  • i do not like bisping but he won that fight 2 rounds to 1.

  • Bisping won that fight .. first 2 rounds bang to rights ... Bisping is legit

  • chael landed more strikes and takedowns and round 1 was chael round 2 was bisping round 3 was all chael

  • One judge gives 30-27 to Sonnen? I give the first and second to Michael because of striking, takedown defense, cage control, and some takdowns of his own. Judges are full of shit and were going to give Chael the fight no matter what if it went to decision. Only Chael fan boys can try to defend that decision because Chael looked sloppy and was only saved by those takedowns. If he puts on a show like that in front of Anderson it will be a short night for him.

  • @Aellis4 too close for any fan base to bitch imo including bispings. it was def. NOT 30-27, second round in the air, first i give a VERY slight to chael based off the big right hand and the multiple takedowns, but i can also make a case for bisping in the first

  • @TheSweatyfatguy I'm actually not a fan of either of them. Coming in I was completely neutral but after the fights it's obvious he was handed an undeserving loss. First the 30-27 judge messed up majorly but even without his complete retard judging system Michael got the better of pretty much all the exchanges and was able to negate a lot of takedowns and even clinch Chael up against the cage. Based on that I say he won the first and second. There is no argument for the third Chael won that.

  • Comment removed

  • @Aellis4 youre a dumbass. bisping didnt score a single takedown in the first 2 rounds. the striking was close, but chael actually forced bisping back with his standup. chaels takedowns scored points, and anytime bisping tried to push chael against the cage and clinch strike, chael was hitting him back the whole time

  • @Aellis4 As a Sonnen fan, I gotta agree that the 30-27 was ridiculous. I saw it coming down to a draw. Round 1 looked incredibly even, Bisping won 2nd and Sonnen 3rd. Sonnen did look terribly sloppy and the way he kept dropping his right had me worried the whole fight. Bisping looked really strong. BTW 'takedown defense' does not earn points in its own, but can contribute to cage control.

  • @brandonhansentx I could see the draw going down. Bisping looked way better than he has in a while especially compared to the Mayhem fight where they both looked very lackluster. Also yes I know takedown defense doesn't earn points but I think it should. They judge on controlling the fight right well if you can control where the fight takes place that should get you some points in my eyes. But either way if Sonnen shows up like that vs a fresh Anderson he will get knocked out.

  • @Aellis4 I agree, takedown defense and submission defense should both earn points. If a guy gets put in a lock and gets held there for 1min-2min and can hold out or evade, then that's got to count for something against burning 1-2mins off the clock.

  • @Aellis4 the whole 3rd round cheal layed on him. if you watch the fight again he hardly landed any strikes on top, hardly any at all. meanwhile bisping is landing punches to side of head and body whenever possible. so basically for judes its better to lay on top of someone doing nothing then land small strikes from bottom i don't understand that logic or why people thought he won because of takedowns. im a big fan of cheal he did look sloppy maybe weight cut had something to do with it

  • @marzwoody Yeah the whole take someone down and hold them there for points thing is lame I mean if he would of worked with it like Rashad did I would be all for it. It all depends on the judge but if I was there Sonnen would of only got 1 round out of me tbh. But yeah if his weight cut is causing him problems he better fix it he was letting Bisping get off on him a bit in the striking and Anderson will for sure knock him out if he strikes like that with him.

  • what comes around goes around right people?? remember bisping vs hammill?? yeah so this may be unfair now but in the long run it wont be

  • how can 1 judge giv all the 3 rounds to sonnen?

  • Surprise surprise the brit get's ripped off again. Wish ufc would cut the shit. It's too many dodgy decisions in non-controversial surroundings. If bisping had won the fight there would be nothing said about it cos it was the right decision.

  • @NUFCMMA101 There really should be a online course or something people like you could take to learn the sport better. The UFC has no control over judges, they are selected by the State Athletic Commissions. In this case Illinois. It's comments like this that seem to accompany other uninformed comments like refering to MMA (the sport) as UFC (a single company)...Not trying to sound like an ass, it's just getting old... As for the fight, I had 10-9 Bisping, 10-9 Bisping, and 10-8 Sonnen. Draw!
