i like em both, hamill is right, we need to find out who the real champ on that show is, bisping beat nobody good to get that crown, this will be a good ass fight one day soon i hope

Ya spida i agree, I like hamill and i think he just might whoop bisping. Did you notice in Bisping’s last fight that he looked really gassed? I know its tough but he looked a little too gassed to me.

i agree, i think hamill will win, he’ll be too strong for the count

I hope they finally fight, I was looking forward to it on TUF 3, but unforunatley it never happened. But if it does it should be interesting, Hamill is a strong dude w/ brute strength who could easily win the fight if it goes to the ground. Bisping is obviously the better striker, let’s just hope he improves on his take-down defense.

That would be an interesting match for sure.

Be a good step for both guys, win or lose even, if its a exciting close match.

Bisping will tear his ass up.The only chance Hamill has is if he takes it to the ground.The count is a waaaay better striker and he has fought basically guys that are bigger than him.So i don’t see the strength thing as that big of deal

It will be intereting to see how Hamill handles getting his bell rung. He did not handle it well on the show. If I recall also I do not think he has had anyone really hit him yet since that episode. Bisping has knockout power and I would like to see how Hamill handles it.

Bisping did look like crap against Erik the Red. But like Quinton said, that debut fighton the worlds biggest MMA stage is tough, your nerves can get the best of you and gas you alone. I think he showed that he has a lot of work as far as his ground game goes. If Erik( a semi-talented BJJ) gave him trouble, I could only imagine what kind of challenge a real wrestler would pose.

NONE of Hamill’s fights have been terribly impressive, in fact his stand up is damn near laughable. While I suppose if Bisping slipped or something and fell over Hamill might have a chance on the ground but these guys aren’t even in remotely the same class of fighters.

Does that mean I wouldn’t want to see the fight? Heck no, if anything they should have put the match on for UFC70 because quite frankly I have no interest in seeing Sinosic fight again.

I like them both….

I think give them some other fights before they face each other….They are kind of like Griffin vs Bonner…A lot of people liked or likes both guys, you almost hate to see either one lose…

im going with bisping…i like them both as people..but as a fighter i have to go with bisping..he is just too well rounded for hamill….hamill hasnt fought anyone somewhat well rounded..and if someone say seth petshjklahfa im gonna laugh at you

Good to see someone call out Bisping. I thought for sure that Bisping would have called out someone by now since he talks alot, but if the UFC is going to give him guys like Sinosic he should just keep quiet and pad his record.

its Bispings 2nd fight in the ufc Nate…who from tuf had top compition in there 2nd fight???

What about Hammill, Heath, Gouveia or even James Irvin as opponents, anybody but Sinosic (1-5) UFC and (8-9-2)MMA. That’s a joke and we all know it.

anybody but Sinosic (1-5) UFC and (8-9-2)MMA. That’s a joke and we all know it.

The worst part is that this could really come back and haunt the UFC. This is MMA, anything is possible. If by some miracle Sinosic comes out with a lucky punch and KOs Bisping where does the UFC go from here. There is no way they can market Sinosic as a legitimate contender and Bisping’s loss would be devestating.
At least if they put Bisping up against someone like Evans, Jardine, Griffin, Ortiz, etc they could market the fight as a rivalry if Bisping loses.

I think UFC is making a really big mistake putting Sinosic against Bisping.

The greater risk to Bisping isn’t that Sinosic might beat him, although the possibility of that happening is still there. I consider the risk of career-threatning injury to be higher, especially fighting a can like Sinosic who has nothing to lose and all to gain. To me, every fight that a rising star like Bisping has should mean something, i.e. raise him in the standings or qualify him for a title shot. Fighting Sinosic doesn’t make sense at all, and I’m sure its probably because, as someone else mentioned, the UFC wants a “multi-national” card and Sinosic was the only guy that qualified that was stupid enough to take a fight against Bisping.

Hammil sucks, but he would much better then sinosic

At least we don’t need an interpreter to understand what Hammil is saying.

It’s not too late to substitute Hammil for Elvis at UFC70.

I agree, Hammil vs. Bisping is a much more interesting, better fight. They are both about the same level, have different styles, and most importantly for publicity, they have history. Good fight, should happen at UFC 70.

From a marketing standpoint, giving Bisping a sure win makes sense here because the fight is in England. Why would they risk their headline having a Brit getting the shit beat out of him.

Second, no fight with Hammil is an interesting fight. He is the most one dimensional fighter out there. Matt Hughes has better stand up than Matt Hammil.

I want to see Hammill’s last fight on the most recent PPV The Uprising…is it anywhere on the net?? I HATE it that UFC does not air the undercard matches…..

for the most part TUF sucks…

bisping would destroy hamill,that fight where he fought that tattoo twat he looked sloppy and awfull to watch and how can anyone say that bisping was bad in his fight against red,he hadnt fought in ages before that fight and he had an answer for everything red threw at him, and he did throw evrything he had at a rusty mike bisping who knocked fuck into him in the first round.sinosic is beter then his record says look at the fighters he has lost against,and i know bisping will not take him lightly when hes coming to england to beat him in front of his home crowd.bisping will crush all his oppnents by the blood of a thousand peasants i swear it!!!!

i think that Bisping will beat Hammil because his stand up is much better that his, even though Hammil is a good wrestler i dont think he will be able to keep Bisping on the ground.All Bisping is land the right shots or a flying knee and the fight will be over.

Bisping id talks about getting called out by hamill in his weekly column.Bad in my opinion.

Bisping responds to Hamill:

THE MATT FINISH
You may have heard that a certain TUF 3 dropout was calling me out last week.

To be honest, I really didn’t want to respond because that plays right into his hands by whipping up interest in a fight that I believe is a big step backwards for me.

However, at the same time I don’t want anyone thinking I was afraid of this guy, either.

The fighter in question – I forget his name – is a good wrestler but has no BJJ and couldn’t strike a match. He’s the one who produced the most embarrassingly amateurish performance of the entire season, where even though he won he couldn’t continue in the competition as he was so bashed up.

Do you know who I’m on about? I can picture his face but still can’t remember his name but I remember personally sending this novice to the hospital with a busted arm and my mate Kendall Grove – a middleweight – knocked him silly with a high kick in sparring.

I also recall that he went to the hospital three times during TUF 3 and each time came back to the TUF house with his tail between his legs. He spent more time in bandages than King Tut.

But, now, he’s shouting my name in an obvious attempt to leap frog from his preliminary bout status to genuine PPV level.

Sorry, pal, I won the TUF 3 three-year contract, thank you very much, so I don’t need a part time job running your PR office on the side.

I’ve got a long way to go and a lot to prove in the UFC but – in terms of what I did during my TUF 3 run – I don’t think I’m being big-headed when I say my run to the TUF 3 title was pretty damn conclusive.

I scored three consecutive knockouts without a scratch on me while this guy calling me out had one fight that looked like two drunks scrapping outside a kebab shop on a Friday night.

For him to claim I’ve yet to prove I’m the real TUF 3 winner is pathetic.

Until next week – the Count.

“But, now, he’s shouting my name in an obvious attempt to leap frog from his preliminary bout status to genuine PPV level.”

Only b/c it’s in England mate.
I’m putting $50 on Elvis as soon as I can. His head is bigger than any MMA fighter I have ever seen, including Tito’s, figuratively and literally.

Bisping hasen’t proven himself in the UFC, he is being protected and he should shut his mouth. If hes so good he should pound hamill out. The fans want to see the fight so as a professional fighter he should take it and kill him.I think hes scared of hamill.

yeah hes right though….all that was true what he said, and he also mentioned that he still has to prove when it comes to ufc real compition…and that fight would actually be a step back for him, and i really wouldnt want to see it….but i think he does know hamills name…he wa a pain in the ass when they were training, somebody that frustrating you remember their name…not to mention hamill has had some success in the ufc already

I don’t think its possible to take a step back from Elvis Sinosic….come on..really now

Im pretty sure sinosic can beat eveyone from TUF 3 besides Bisping and Hamill, atleast with sinosic, its not another TUF fight, its a ufc fight

I see your point….if he was fighting anyone other than that guy I would completly agree…hell bring shamrock back look what its done for Tito

Hammill has an AMAZING ground game, the likes of Hughes and Couture. Training with Punishment will definately bring him towards the top of the chain in the 205 class… but NOT YET. Bisping is a great overall fighter, although he is very untested like Hammill is. Both of these guys trained with each other, and literaly hurt each other… so it would be a great fight. I’m not sure Id put $$ on either of them… thats funny because I’ve always said ‘if you dont know them, count on the wrestler…’

Matt Hammill is absolutely the most boring and lame fighter in the UFC. Yeah his wrestling is good and he’s strong, but his stand-up is AWFUL and his ground game is junk- he doesn’t even attempt a freaking guard pass, he just lies there and grunts while he throws half-hearted elbows. How can ANYONE claim it is in the same class as Hughes and Couture? It’s GARBAGE.

Bisping would simply destroy Hammill. And I would hope that would be the last we’d see of the most bring fighter in UFC history.

Thats why Hamill was an under card

Philo, the guy is 3-0. He’s had 3 fights…. BoaSTFUlly stating your position, with so little history yet written for Hamill is kinda absurd. I’m sure Hamill is reSTFUl since his last fight, and is ready to step up to the next level. Catch my meaning?

MoreThanUFC…
I really cant blame Philo for claiming that Hammill is boring, wrestlers like Matt Hughes and Matt Hammill arent considered ‘exciting’ to watch unless you are a pretty deep MMA fan. You and I know differnt… but for someone that is just catching on to the sport, they want to watch standup.

you guys are gonna praise these two new guys untill they start winning and being dominant,then your gonna start hatin and saying they are overated!!! do you dudes go to battle raps by any chance?

hamill has the most potential in my eyes. his stand up may not be the greatest but he still has 2 first round tkos to his name with only 3 fights and both started with him clinched and uppercutting the guy so hamill has some power in those hands. also he fought seth petruzelli who is an awesome fighter (even beating the great Dan Severen), and he took some punishment during the fight so i dont question his chin. also eric schaeffer is not on matt hamills level of wrestling and did not have a problem taking the count down and almost beatin him on the ground so i can only imagine what hamill would do. Hands down Hamill

I love battle rapping.

What?

Fists aflying
From my knees you’ll be cryin
Take a walk down memory lane

What?

I gotta lay off the drugs….That DMT is some good shit.

The count is getting a little ahead of himself and seems like hes a legend in his own mind. He’s obviously ahead of the hammer in experience ( which isn’t saying much ) and would win the stand up war by a mile, but hamill could easily take him down at will and score points. I think hamill has a good future in mma but he still has a lot to learn.

Bisping is hilarious. Maybe he can be in Guy Ritchie’s next movie.
That said I would laugh if he lost in his back yard.
If he and Hamill continue to win this will be a grudge match not to miss.

Bisping would look sooo bad if he did fight hamill and lost after every think he said, if hamill is a d fighter what does that make him?

Bisping is too multi-skilled for Hamill imo, but I think in a few fights it could be a different story.

MoreThanUFC…

From what I’ve seen, it seems that Matt Hamill has been focusing on the striking skills. He could’ve gone to the ground with Rex Holman in his last fight, but he was outpunching Holman in that fight and eventually ‘TKO’ him in the first round.

For a division I national champion caliber, it kinda surprised me to see Rex Holman just squandered away his supposedly highly-skilled ground game and just lying there covering his head while Matt Hamill was just punching away before the fight was stopped. So, I don’t think it’s safe to underestimate Matt Hamill’s ability to learn new skills and take it to the next level.

How many fights does he has to win before he can finally convince you guys to recognize his legitimacy for being in the UFC?

bisping gonna be champ one day

It will be a good fight, styles make fights, and this will be a good contrast of styles, these factors also make it very tough to call, you could always see Bisping KOing Hamill, but i can also see Hamill grinding out a decision, or TKOing Bisping via GnP.

They’re both good guys and Hammill is right, there is no winner of TUF3 until these guys get it on…if they stay standing Bisping will win and Hamill on the ground but Bisping showed a lot of heart in his last fight when he was clearly losing and just started ground n pounding the victory…PROCS is right however if Bisping loses to Sinosic then the ufc won’t know what to do lolol…Hamill should have a fight against someone around UFC 71 or on a fight nite so there can be a showdown cuz all of the fans want to see this..as we all know that they do have some bad blood as well from living in the TUF house wooooooooooooooooooooooooo

i dont think hammill deserves a shot at bisping

he is not at the same level and i dont see why bisping should take a step backwards to fight him.you can say to prove who was the winner of the ultimate fighter3 but in that competition part of the plan is to make sure you come through all your fights unscaved which bisping did very convinceingly,but hammill took a worse beating in his FIRST fight than that other guy who wasnt very impresive at all.if that first fight had been against bisping it would of been a bloodbath and i dont think anyone would even be talking about hammill.Anyone who thinks hammill should of won cant have much of a brain,i think they just dont like the british and know nothing of fighting.

Wow some of you guys underestimate Bisping, I think he would win comfortably.

From what I’ve seen of Bisping, he is level headed. He’s just playing the trash talk game (very well, made me laugh) with regard to Hammill.

Bisping vs Sinosic was a good way to gage how good Bisping is when you consider Griffen also fought Sinosic on his second fight so you can compare how Bisping and Forrest would match up,and I think you can comfortably say Bisping would destroy Forrest.Elvis gave Forrest alot of trouble in their fight untill he got knocked out but Bisping just handed him a beating from start to finish and no one can say otherwise,apart from that knee Elvis landed in the second round and that kimura atempt he had nothing to offer and Bisping punished him.In his last two fights Bisping has showed how he can ajust to any situation and get himself out of trouble and in my opinion he is by far the best and most exciting fighter to come out of all the ultimate fighter shows and he truly does have the potential to be a great champion one day.

matt hammil still hasn’t shown 5% of what he can do. I used to live 1/4 mile from him in loveland and have seen him take down the biggest an baddest with NO HANDS!!! he doesn’t take his fights to the ground because that would be too easy for him. none of you even have a clue what he can do because all you know about him is what you have seen on tv.

i agree with big d Matt hamill hasnt even really used any of his wrestling skills in any of his fights and hes still been beatin guys. Bispings real good though real well rounded but i dont think he has much of a chin bu then again hamill cant strike very good. but hes getting alot better in his last fight he was checkin leg kicks and such a big improvment give him time and he be an awsome fighter. As for bisping i’d really like to see him fight forrest griffin i think id be a big test for him and an exciting fight

yeah your right hes checkin leg kicks so hel beat mike easy now wont he?
dont be so stupid man,just say they do fight what is hammill gonna do just pin him the whole fight coz if he tries to ground and pound hes gonna get submited and if he tries to stand hes gonna get slaughtered and I for one wouldnt wanna see that happen to a deaf guy.
If he were to have a wrestling match with MB hed win ofcourse but this is MMA and MH has no stand up and no jujitsu so his only possible way of winning this fight is to put Bisping on the mat and hold him there and try not to get submited and when I last checked they dont let you get away with that in the UFC,it would keep on getting stood up and where ever the fight went it wouldnt matter,it goes to ground Hammill gets submited,standing up he gets KOed.

[quote comment=“47777”]matt hammil still hasn’t shown 5% of what he can do. I used to live 1/4 mile from him in loveland and have seen him take down the biggest an baddest with NO HANDS!!!

oh yeah thats a skill he is realy gonna be able to use in the UFC isnt it,even if he ran at me with no hands in the street trying to take me down I would just knee him in the chin and smash his jaw in half,and so would anyone else with any basic fighting skills,so it makes you wonder what would bisping do in that situation?I think a good knee or uppercut would more than do the trick.

I grew up in Loveland with Matt’s younger brother in Loveland. Matt deserves a fight with bisping, bispings just scared to get beat early in his career. I know Matt won’t be quite and wont stop till he ends up beatin that bluti fool.

Matt is a wrestler!! thats all he can’t hold a candle to Bisbing and will pay. He got smashed up by mike in the ultimate fighter, no quality

BISPING SUCKS. THOSE RIGGED CREEPY ENGLISH JUDGES ROBBED HAMILL OF THAT WIN. BISPING WAS PUSHED AROUND LIKE A RAG DOLL. WTF. BUNCH OF RIGGED CRAP. BISPING = NO CLASS.

i so agree that hamill won that fight fuck michael bisping and them damn english judges!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Longtime fan of UFC since UFC 1, have spent thousands of dollars on PPV events and have NEVER seen a bigger injustice as I did with last nights Bisbing-Hammill fight! Matt clearly dominated Bisbing the entire fight. To watch the UFC judges give the fight to the hometown boy (not man, a man of would of had more class and known when he was beaten, I still can’t get over the “back to wrestling” comment!) ruined me for the rest of the night. I was so disgusted, I couldn’t even enjoy the main event! What has happened to fairness in the UFC? I question the integrity of the UFC, its judges and what the UFC stands for!
