Why not have two blogs – one for live and one for tape delay? That way posters can comment as the delayed fight goes on without spoilers (you guys approve comments before they go on anyway right?)
by EdenMachine on Aug 29, 2007 9:56 PM EDT reply actions 0 recs
Thought about that. But we do not approve all comments. There are filters and other things we put in place. In addition, it will be nearly impossible with all of the other things we do come fight night to approve the hundreds of comments that pour in.

it’s too tempting to not look at the results
by RT on Aug 29, 2007 10:47 PM EDT reply actions 0 recs
I may look at the results. I know I shouldn’t, but I dont like to keep good information away from myself for too long. Whether or not I decide to be nosey or not, I will probably blog along with others during the tape delay anyways, and cheer for Dan’s third belt.
Actually, I have a question about that in the unification bout. Are Dan’s 205 lb belt and Jackson’s 205 lb belt going to be taken away and the winner given a brand new “unification belt”? or is it going to be like whoever wins, gets the UFC 205 lb belt and then they throw the pride 205 lb belt in the garbage can?

C’mon guys, how can you even THINK about peaking at the results? That would absolutely RUIN your viewing experience of the biggest and most important fight in the history of MMA! There has NEVER been a recognized-unified champion in any weightclass, and we’re about to get it first at 205lbs.

Oh hELL NO! There is no way anyone will find me on any Internet site on that Saturday. I would never spoil the fights for myself by seeing who wins 1st. Those 9 hours (between when the fights start, and when they will show them on tape delay) for me will be soo hard. Its gonna b e like a crack head trying not to smoke his last rock for 9 hours!!!!!!!!
I will not be on here that Saturday, and I dont know how people can let the internet spoil the outcome for the. Ill know the results when I c them wit my eyes!

UFC_Fan, I was actually just about to give a hint, which would have been – “If you have my first 2 posts on your computer screen, the answer to the question is visible on your screen.”

I will go out on a limb and say Dan wins. Setting up Rampage to take on Tito. And Dan vs Chuck. While Silva ends Jardines career.
Tito will never have the ballz to get in a cage wit Rampage, he will spend the rest of his career ducking Rampage and all the other Pride stars. At this point in his career he seems content on squeeking out a win by decision against lessor experienced TUF alumni. Until Bisping KTFO Tito, and then the only person left for Tito to fight(and that he isnt scared to fight) will be against Alberto Crane at UFC 80: THROW EM TO THE WOLVES! This event will take place between Janne Jameson’s legs!

I hope that this fight goes to a decision. I rarely say that about a fight, but in this case I know a 5 rd decision wouldnt be a snoozefest like monson vs. Big Tim…. If these 2 fight for the whole 5 rds it will be such a grueling exciting match… I want all 25 minutes worth! As long as the judges r competent enough to make the RIGHT decision at the end!

I’m w/ you man. Knowing the outcome of the fight pretty much spoils half the fun. I, for one, will simply spend my day trying to keep busy, b/c if I think about the fight for too long I’ll start to get nervous. I want Rampage to win this fight so bad, and I know that he has the tools to run this division for many years to come. I even think he would do well in rematches against Shogun and Silva.
Rampage will retain the championship, fellas!

John, they meet today, on Thursday. Hopefully all goes well. Hopefully the fact that Randy retained his belt and said that given the oppotunity to choose his next opponent, he would want to fight the best fighter out there, Fedor Emelianenko.
I think I remember reading an interview with Fedor where he had nothing but compliments for Randy.
Hopefully this will help get this deal done.

Wow its today? Pray to the MMA gods! I also hope that since Randy called him out, it will light a fire under Dana and Fedor’s to get a contract Done.
UFC Mania or anyone else: Please try to find out some details about the meeting. PLEASE!!!!!
Note to Dana White: Git-R-Done!!!!

I think Hendo is going to KO Rampage. I don’t see why no one is giving a proven champion any props. Rampage is a hell of a fighter that ownes Liddell and that is it. It is going to be a great fight to say the least.

That’s a good question c-war, and I would like to know the answer as well.
After the fight, I can just picture Dana putting the UFC belt around the waist of the winner, and then literally drag a metal garbage can into the octagon and drop the PRIDE belt right into it.

Dana answered this in a conference call today.
“Dana says after this fight they’ll be getting rid of the Pride 205lbs belt. With respect to the lightweight title picture, says he still has no clue what to do.”

This was the last UFC event I have watched. And no – even thou I am a die-hard CroCop fan and think the (in total) 3 kicks to the mid section (over the course of two rounds) should have resulted in point deduction for Kongo.
The thing that really pissed me off was the Bisping-Hamill fight. Everyone knows that Bisping is the posterboy for the UFC in the UK, but that decision was outrageous!
Judge 1: 29-28 Bisping
Judge 2: 30-27 Hamill
Judge 3: 29-28 Bisping
C’mon! Are you kidding me?

@YouTapped:
I agree that the bad kicks (especially the kick to the groin, from what I heard), should have caused point deductions; but even then, Cro Cop might have lost anyhow (I’ll wait to actually see the fight to comment on that).
I think a lot of people agree that the Bisping results sucked (but yet again I’ll have to see that fight).
What pisses me off more and more about the UFC are the short fights (three five minute rounds) and the judge scoring – it’s as if they really don’t give that much points for ground work and give a lot for standing.

As much as I wanted Hamill to win, there’s nothing that can be done other than declare a rematch of all rematches card! These should be the fights;
Rampage vs Shogun
Rashad vs Tito
Hamill vs Bisbing
Nick Diaz vs Karo
Hughes vs GSP
Tim Sylvia vs AA
Diego vs Kos
Franklin vs Silva(should Franklin win in Cinncinatti)
Grove vs Herman
CroCop vs Big Nog(not now that CC lost)
…many of these fights can be switched around or replaced with a different fighter obviously,…but I’m having trouble coming up with 155lb rematches(other than Nate Diaz rematch w/ Manvil)

Damn, Houston Alexander is for real. I for one, will be the first to admit that I thought his fight with Jardine was a fluke, but after seeing this fight, I think he is a real contender. Might take a very strong wrestler to beat this guy, cause his punches and knees looked scary.

Man, that Davis fight has to be fight of the night. The guy almost gets TKOed, then he starts raining down blows, and then when he loses the mount, he turns that around and grabs the armbar! That fight had a bit of everything in just a few minutes.
I’m also really impressed with Houston Alexander. I can’t wait to see more from him.

Close round 2, could go either way. Hamill did get two takedowns but Bisping got right back up after both of them, and Bisping looked like he landed more accurate and powerful strikes. Close. I might give it to Bisping. 10-9. Very close.

Damn, Hamill was robbed! Bisping lost all three rounds by my count. Hamill controlled him the whole time. Bisping only managed some decent offense in the last round, but that’s it. Not even enough to win that round.
The funniest part? When showing the “highlight” of his win for him to walk Joe Rogan through, all they show is a five second clip of him dodging a takedown and then missing two punches as the ref separated them at the end of the round. That just gives it all away, right there. I’m pissed at these idiot judges.
And someone tell Hamill to speak up! The guy doesn’t realize you have to yell into the mic! We can’t all read lips, man!

By my count Hammil won rd 1 and 3 simply from takedowns, Bisping did not win this fight, he didn’t land enough and was counterpunching the whole fight except for the last 1:30 of the fight, it reaks of corruption. I am a HUGE ufc fan and it sickens me to see things like this happen. I am not a Hammil apologist, or a Bisping hater, I love seeing good fights, only guy I am partial to in all of UFC is Liddell.

Hammel beat him both standing and on the ground and had a dozen or more takedowns, Bisping spent half the fight on his back and then had the gall to say he’s the “real” champ – on a biased, split decision fight. Worst juding I’ve seen on UFC to date. Period.

Bisping wins? I just watched Matt chase him around the ring for three rounds, matching him at the stand up game and treating him like a child on the ground. Don’t get me wrong, I was a Bisping fan, but after watching Matt control the fight, and lose in a split decision, I have to say I’m disappointed, both by the “judging,” and by the post fight behavior by a fighter who had to know that he had been beaten. Did I imagine that he suggested his opponent “stick to wrestling?” Bisping and the UFC were laughable tonight, wins aren’t given just because you avoided getting knocked out. If I was beaten as much as Bisping was, I would laugh when I was announced the winner.

This is the kinda of thing that will kill UFC. If people lose repect for the decisions because the judges are so obviously and completely wrong, then we have WWE without the flair and fireworks and without the cool nicknames. (oh wait…we can always call Bisping “Hamill’s Bitch”) I guess cause it was free, its ok to BS the results. Bisping was the only one that took any damage at all. Bisping was the only one taken down. I really hope Dana shit himself when he heard that decision and if he isn’t responsible for it, I hope he fixes it. Something simple like, EVERYONE else outweighs 2 moron judges who were watching some other fight. Overturn the decision and let Hamill pound the crap out of Bisping again. Plus, this brings doubt to that silly Ultimate Fighter show. Is any of it real?

Excuse me? Michael Bisbing won? I have never seen such a fight that was one sided and the judges went the other way.
What does this tell you UFC? Are you becoming the new era of boxing?
Very dissapointed. PLUS, the announcers didn’t even comment on this. Did I miss something? Great fight Matt. You proved you were better on your feet the Michael.
It will be very hard for me to ever consider getting a pay per view after seeing that.
Too bad UFC bought PRIDE.

Bisping is a complet ASSHOLE and so are those judges that handed him that victory after he got his ASS HANDED TO HIM. If I got the decision like that after I knew in my heart that I lost, I would at least have the decency to say that Matt Hamill beat me despite the decision. The fact that he celebrated and took pride in that decision tells me that he knew that he would get that decision! If Bisping had any respect or dignity, he would bow out of the UFC and never return.

Tonight is the last UFC fight I watch. Hammill Bisping fight showed me that the fix is in. Matt schooled Bisping with the exception of a desperate last few mintues in round three. Even the highlight clip showed Matt taking Bisping down. Bisping was let up almost everytime by Matt after taking him down. Those good old wrestlling days of 2 pts for takedown 1 for escape must don’t translate in the UFC. They see it as 2 pts for being marketable and 1 pt for being tuff. Matt in my eyes your the ultimate fighter champion and you showed some class in the interview.

What are you talkin about?!? Hammill is a total sportsman. When has he EVER used his disability or whined? I’ve never heard an argument where a “disability” is an advantage. What fights are you watching? Bisping knew what he was doing in the Ultimate Fighter, when he hurt Hammil in practice. Bisping was scared so he tried to get rid of the competition. Hammill destroyed Bisping tonite!!! I can honestly say that I will never pay $40 to get a UFC pay-per-view again. Tonight the UFC showed that it is no better than boxing. They had Bisping the winner before either of them stepped into the octagon. What a shame. As for the judges…somebody want to tell me which two rounds Bisping won??? Was it the two rounds that Hammill only took him down twice? He ran the whole time…except the last 30 seconds of each round. Sorry Dana…these judges just gave you a huge black eye!

WELCOME TO WWE MEETS UFC KIDS.
I’m glad to see we’re not along here – we were yelling at our TV’s when this ended. Even after this, I had hope that Dana would call this out for what it is – so far he’d seemed at least halfway legit. But one of the comments here reminded me about how the COMMENTARY even on this fight was so one sided – Hamill can’t keep Bisping down – UH, NO, those of us who were WATCHING and not force-fed bribes saw Hamill let Bisping up. Hamill is smart as hell – he was getting in Bisping’s helmet by dominating him in stand-up so that when he DID take him down, he would be scared. I heard them say “I was unimpressed with his standup in the Ultimate Fighter” – UH, NO – he fought the whole time with a busted arm & passed out from the injuries after, standing up the whole time with just a few sessions’ worth of training, and still KICKED THE ASS of his opponent. He didn’t go to the ground because he didn’t need to – he knew it was risky for his injury. He’s a SMART guy – he has to be.
I know a lot of people gave him crap about how he was on the show, but think about how he was after Danny left. He latched on to Danny b/c Danny needed someone to take care of. So what. Do you really think every reality show is accurate? They are edited so that each person has a “character” reputation by the time they get out. Everything else I’ve seen of Hamill after he got out he was pretty cool. He certainly was more gracious than I would have been at the ruling – if he was such a “DICK” as some of you guys say, he would not have been so “polite” – deferring to the judges even when he knew in his gut he won.
BISPING WALKED OFF THE RING SHAKING HIS HEAD IN SHAME, THEN HAD THE NERVE TO TALK ABOUT WHAT A CHAMPION HE WAS???
I used to like Bisping. Now I think he’s a patsy.
I liked the comment about Dana McMahon. I wrote a similar email to Media Relations @ UFC (There’s a link at the bottom of the page).
I really, really hope Dana mans up, but in retrospect thinking about how even the commentary was staged for this, I am disgusted to believe that it’s probably from the top.
F—- UFC.

very very very very sad that Henderson lost. I was hoping he’d knock Quinton “Bobblehead” Jackson out. He held his own.
I have hopes that Chuck will get back in the ring but really condition for knocking him, Bobblehead, out.
Am I the only one that thinks that Bobblehead stands in front of a mirror staring at himself and trying out new faces? How disrespectful was that to refuse to shake hands with his self proclaimed friend before the fight?
My boys are watching the fight now and I don’t have the heart to tell them the results.
The fight between Bisping and Hamill – that was total BS. I’m disappointed and even more disappointed that Dana won’t do anything about it.
For a sport that is trying to gain fans and respect — this is definitely NOT the way to do it.
(Not sure if you can tell but I can’t stand Bobblehead – he stole Chuck’s signature stance but added a stupid howl – how gay.)

At the beginning of the match, I was a Bisping fan, because of UFC Ultimate Fighter, but by the end of the first round, Matt won me over, he was awesome.Who paid off the judges in the match between Matt and Michael. There had to have been a payoff somewhere. Matt won that match without a doubt. Matt was robbed of that victory. I am so disappointed. I think the only reason the said Michael won was because it was Michael’s home town and they were afraid of what might happen if Matt was declaired the winner.

OK i want this discussion to get huge. There is absolutely no way in hell or anywhere else that michael bisbing won ANY of those rounds. I dont fucking care if you are bitish, and i dont fucking care if you are a bisbing fan, HE LOST. that was the most insanely innaccurate judging ive ever seen in any sport in my life. How can you take something this big away from matt hamil. he did an incredible job and at no point in the fight was bisbing in control. one judge had it correct at 30-27, and 2 who have their heads so far up their asses that the lump in their neck is their nose, had it 29-28 bisbing? FUCK what they are doing to these sport.
ONE OF the bribed (or blown by Bisping, jury’s still out) judges had ruled it 30-27 Bisping. It was the first one announced. That was our first “WTF” moment, but we though for sure the other ones would outweight it.
If he’d ruled it even 29-28, it woudl have worked out right. He obviously had “debt to pay” and had to be either a scapegoat, or just stupid.

Hamill v. Bisping
Easy enough to work out the winner…just add up the points
Hamill = 86 points / Bisping = 85 points. ‘Nuff said. Bollocks to the split decision.
If the Count’s a True Brit, he knows in his heart of hearts that he’s no longer unbeaten. Now we’ll get a chance to see what he’s made of.
And for the record, I’m a Brit – maybe UFC wanted to keep the potential market sweet for the future, but I think it was more a case of incompetent assessment on the part of the judges in scoring and assessment of ALL the skills and crafts required to be a champion in the eight-sided ring. Let them take six or eight clean knees to the ribs – yeah, it might not look as spectacular as the spinning roundhouse but it still freakin hurts some.
Booyah.

In the words of Public Enemy, “911…UFC…what a joke.” That Hamill-Bisping fight decision was bloody awful. If I wanted to see staged performances I would watch the WWE, or better yet, I would go to a fricking play. The only good I can take away from the fight was that I didn’t have to pay for it. Bisping was pnwed, simple as that. To have one judge score it 30-27 while the others scored it with a four point swing in the other direction…incredulous. Dana White, Zuffa, and the UFC should feel ashamed. That was blatantly fixed. I guess that’s the way the UFC is going nowadays, though. Did anyone see the previews for the new TUF? It looked like the Real World. It looked as fake as Pam Anderson’s bust line. UFC, adios amigo cause I’m gone.

We DO NOT need a Bisping-Hamill rematch in the US. Then “they” (whoever that may be) would just say that the judges were biased in the other direction. Have it in a totally neutral location (North Korea and Iran hate us all equally) and make it American Idol style phone-in your vote judging. I have been searching so many blogs and sites and I have yet to come across anyone saying that Bisping deserved that decision. The viewers obviously have a better handle on what’s happening than the judges. I swear we are gonna find out that they are figure skating judges from the olympics. Dana, the true key to big $$$$ is to have your “sport” be authentic. We already have the WWE and they at least have creative nicknames. Stay true to the sport and keep your fans. If I want to see a cicus, I’ll go to the circus rather than pay to see it on PPV.

I am so pissed off I have to write again. Mike Bisping has shown himself as a true punk. How could he take that win and actually think he deserved it. He stood up talking like it was the best fight he had ever fought. He is a sorry excuse for a fighter. He didn’t even acknowledge the great fight that Matt put up. Matt Hamill not only won that fight, he also showed every person watching that he was the better man. Matt Hamill is the true winner in all areas of the fight tonight.

I have never seen A more bias decision in favor of a hometown fighter in my life as Hamil vs Bisping. Hamil totally dominated the first 2 rounds and won the third. That was by far the worst decision ever in MMA.

I’m so pissed at the Hamil vs. Bisbee fight. This won’t only loose fans in the US but also people in the UK who watch this fight will see that the UFC judges make their own decisions regardless of who actually wins the fights. Anyone who watched that fight could see that Hamil won. Even if the judges reverse their decision it won’t be the same. As a long time UFC fan I am extremely upset at this decision. Don’t forget your US fan base!

There is no way Bisping won that fight. Hamill took it to him in the first 2 rounds, and held him off in the third. He beat Bisping at his own stand up game. This is a clear promotion of the UFC’s poster boy in England. A bunch of crap in my opinon. I hope these two get a rematch and Hamill spins Bisping’s head right off his neck. Bisping is not all that he is cracked up to be and DID NOT win that fight. This was a clear show that Dana White is a scum bag and will do anything to make money.

UFC judging criteria, which is effective striking, grappling, aggression, and octagon control.
Effective Striking – Hamil won the first two rounds easily and I’ll be nice and say Bisping won the third but Hamil won 2 of 3.
Grappling – Hamil took Bisping down with complete ease, theres no way I could give anything to Bisping here.
Aggression – Bisping was only agressive when he was trying to keep Hamil from taking him down. Hamil didn’t seem very aggressive but he was dominating with ease so he really didn’t need to be.
Octagon Control – Bisping to me won in this category. Hamil only controlled the center of the ring, Bisping ran circles around the outside of the cage therefore he controlled more of the cage:) That must have been what the judges were thinking. Hamil won the octagon control no contest.
Those 4 category make 49% of the judging, home field advantage makes up 51% of the judging and Bisping had the home field advantage so even if he got dominated for three rounds I guess he wins. Thats the only conclusion I can come up with.

I Can’t beleive Bisping accepted that victory they had absolutly no highlights to show when rogan was talking to him bcause he had none. He might have landed 3 punches no takedowns. Hamil had 4 or 5 takedowns and landed three times as many punches. Something needs to done been that decision shouln not stand

OKAY!!!! Listen Up!!!! Brits fuckin’ suck. UFC judges fuckin’ suck. This is suppose to be a real sport but after tonight I am having some real doubts. Bisping did not, in any way, come close to beating Hamill. He was dominated. He looked like in ass in front of his home country. So, basically what I’m saying is, “take it like a man, accept your defeat, move to 185lbs, and get smashed by Anderson Silva.” Bisping is from England, he fought nobody so far except for Hamill(which he technically lost), and really isn’t that good. Please, please, please go back to England and think your the best in the world. Bisping blows, I would fight him any day of the week and twice on Sunday(and I have only fought three times). So all in all, the UFC has lost a fan over this bullshit, I promise that I will never buy another UFC PPV in my life. But I just wanna say, Yeah yeah…Go Kongo, I won $3,500 on you baby!!! And Fitch is gonna destroy Sanchez unless it goes to a decision which means you’ll never know what is going to happen. It all depends on who pussy-ass Dana White wants to protect.

Hamill vs. Bisping, was a bad decision, were they watching some other fight… Hamill was all over that guy, even the above commentary on the fight goes to Hamill. Whatever, he was robbed!!! Even the footage at the end of the match was showing Hamill taking down Bisping, I guess they didn’t have any footage of Bisping doing anything, but getting taken down.
I have to agree…what were the other two judges watching….looks like we had one mute fighting and two blind tards judging…..how does one ref get it right, hamil 30-27 and the other two go with Bisping. It sucks because I’ve always respected the UFC for getting it right contrary to BOXING where everything is rigged……THIS WAS FLAT OUT WRONG

Money aside, Dana, you are losing all the fans’ respect. I am STILL waiting for the reversal. Its not a difficult decision to make. If I was you, I would have been in the ring to change it the moment I heard the result…unless you are the one guilty of fixing it. This might be the first fight that was fixed cause whoever is responsible isn’t very good at making it convincing. Did they really think the fans wouldn’t say anything?…that this would just fade away with no one noticing?
I can understand Bisping taking the win. He never had anyones’ respect to begin with. Nothing to lose. But now we have to question and doubt the results of Ultimate Fighter as well…how many of those were fixed. Its turned into a violent version of the real world anyway.

I am EXTREMELY PISSED!! Matt Hamil 6-0 Michael 14-1! That’s how this fight ends. This was such a damn ripoff and it angers me so much because Matt did an amazing job and Michael Bisping was getting his ass kicked throughout the whole fight. The last night was pretty even. How does one judge give all 3 rounds to Hamil and the other 2 judges have 2 of the 3 rounds to Michael “TUF2 Runner Up” Bisping. Direct comment to Dana White. Get a hold of your judges. Take time to sit down and watch the fight yourself, get your head out of the piggy bank, and declare a TRUE winner. Also, make a public apology for the lack of competence of the judges you hired and have a rematch!

Houston Alexander i dunno im still not totally convinced on him yet. The Irish Hand Grenade wow that was a good fight. Well heres to looking foward to UFN and TUF premiere and then unto Cincinnati.

If Matt could speak clearly (he can’t but speaks better than I can sign) or lived up to this terrible image they keep giving him (Which he does’t have. We lose sight of the fact he doesn’t process situations like we who can hear do) we would have seen another result tonight.

Oh man! Remember earlier I gave you all my prediction, Hamil and kongo will pull off an upset. Kongo pulled it off. Hamil got robbed. Cro cop is a shame. I was a big fan, nut now his one dimensional arsenal has caught up to him, and his ego wont allow
him to make the needed adjustments. Bisping knows he lost. Rampage fight went the way I thought (exceept he didnt slam hendo, its nice to hear that he was still looking for it). Kongo upset was worth some nice change. I thought Sakara would take out Alexander but boy was I wrong, that dude is scary powerful. He looks for real and I’m curious to c who they match him up with next. Maybe Forrest, after he looses to Shogun.
Etim will test positive for roids!
I thought It lived up to the hype, with the exception of Bisping. Hamil should be furious. Kongo has improved. He is scary good on his feet. He throws powerful knees when they are actually above the waste.
Rampage is really improving. His punches look crisp, they look nasty powerful, after that performance and the fight vs. Lindland his wrestling has to be considered world class. 1 thing I always loved about Rampage is that even in Pride is ground n pound would include a brutal beatdown to the body. Rampage always throws knees to the body, and powerful elbows to the ribs. His chin is as tough as advertised. His conditioning looked phenominal (very explosive in the last couple seconds of every rd). Rampage is really turned into a world class fighter. All that “Im a brawler” stuff is crap. He is a very well rounded fighter. He diplayed excellent submission defense (as always). Quinton is gonna be very tough to beat. He went hard for 25 minutes, got rocked, recovered, and put the hurt on Dan. Its gonna be very interesting to c how the “new RAMPGE” matches up with shogun n wanderlei. I think he will demolish wanderlei, but Shogun still scares me (although its way closer in my mind then b4).
Props to Juanito. All his fighters won tonight. He is becoming an elite mma trqainer Exhibit A: Quinton Rampage Jackson.
Props to Bisping for getting the worst decision win I have seen since they said that Rampage beat Murilo “Ninja” Rua.
At least it spared us from hearing Hamil go “Whooooooooooo”

After watching the Bisping – Hamill match … and the clearly rigged judging outcome … there really is only one decision you can reach … Don King is in the house. I haven’t seen such a terrible judges decision since the Marvin Hagler-Sugar Ray fight. Hamill had take-downs in every round, Bisping was actually running from him in the first and second rounds! Bisping never scored a take-down, knock-down, demonstrated ring control, or looked even comfortable in any of the three rounds. One judge saw the clear fight and scored 30-27 Hamill. Now how the hell did two judges see Bisping “winning” two rounds? Which rounds? Those of us who watched clearly saw that Bisping never earned a single round.
ZUFFA has gobbled up most of the MMA leagues. They have a monopoly on the current and future MMA fighters. Looks like the future holds a steady slide down the dark road of boxing history.
Dana White … figure-head or true leader? Guess we’ll see if he let’s this Bisping-Hamill match result stand.

You’re right, but it sucks and it’s stupid. My sister did a semester at Galludet University (for the deaf and hard of hearing) and half the campus got into the UFC when they found out about Hamill. His presence can only add viewers who might not have given the sport a chance before he came along.

Agree. It is a disgrace to the sport. If I was Hamill, I’d eat Dana Whites kids for that
Discrace is the correct word. My stomach turned at the announcement. Hamill was cheated, and it is criminally obvious.
As a martial artist myself, I loved the UFC for the honesty of the sport. There was never any dought about who won a fight, and who lost….Until now!
This is the first sign that Dana White’s organization is slipping down the slope of corruption like the sport of boxing has. Someone else mentioned the same thing I was thinking, who is running the UFC? Don King.
I could not even continue to watch the main event, something I very much wanted to see. I am outraged by this!
Shame on the British judges for their obvious bias, shame on you Dana White for allowing the best sport in the world to be dishonored, shame on Bisping for his comments immediately after the fight, and shame on Joe for his conspicious silence during his post-fight interview.
I only hope there is a way for Mat Hamill’s camp to issue an official protest.
If the fix was in so as to get a foothold with the British market, than Dana, you are a shameless whore!

I’m done with UFC, never seen such ridiculous garbage as hammill bisping. As has been stated over and over it was not even close, I was shocked. UFC is fixed unless you get a KO. Plain and simple. I have no use for that, I’m interested in seeing good skilled fighters, not bullshit set-ups.
And by the way did anyone else notice that TUF looked like horrible crap this season too? They showed a 60 second commercial for it and it was like 45 seconds of guys arguing, fighting in the house, and breaking shit. If I wanted to see that I’d watch the real world or something. I want to see fighters working to become real pros, not some fake-o drama reality crap. Season 1 and 2 were so much better.
Anyone else notice a disturbing trend here? Both TUF and the fights are going from real displays of skill and effort to fake dramatics. Maybe the WWE comparions aren’t far off.
UFC has gone in the wrong direction. I’m done with it…wake me up when someone makes a fight league with some integrity.

I can’t agree more on the Hamill fight. (I don’t even like putting Bisping’s name in the fight…he was barely there.) Hamill 30-27. I’m still a UFC fan but did lose some respect. Maybe Bisping should try fighting outside of his backyard.

besides the Matt Hammil takedowns in the 2nd round were harmless because Bisping immediately stood up from both of them , then landed quite a few accurate strikes.
cwar, it doesn’t matter if the takedowns are “harmless” because they are still points. Besides, Hamill let Bisping up.

Poor Cro Cop just can’t get used to the CAGE. He should have gone to K-1 Hero’s instead of UFC.
He lost to a kickboxer in pretty much a kickboxing bout. What does the cage have to do with it? Alot of people are shocked that he isn’t winning in the UFC . CC was ranked number 2 in the world, but how can he be number 2 if he never fought any of the great HWs in the UFC. The truth is, he was only number 2 in Pride , not the world. Same goes for Fedor.

Damn! i’ve never left a blog like this before but, hamil was robbed by the judges! Bisbing was beaten before he even entered the octagon! You could see the fear and nervousness in his eyes as he did a bs job of pretending to be relaxed as and happy as he made his way to the ring! Then in the fight you could almost feel bisbings terror as he shook, rattled and rolled in an effort to stay away from the stronger, more powerful hamil! As a matter of fact bisbings obvious fear turned into manifest clumsyness(not sure if i spelled that right and i don’t feel like looking it up) tripping over his own feet. Finally after getting his ass kicked and manhandled, bisbing had the balls to continue his charade in the post fight interview in an effort to convince the viewers (and himself) that he had actually won! Those 2 judges are nuts and i also noticed that the commentators had nothing to say about the decision after boasting about hamils performance during the entire fight. Looks like they would rather lose their balls than their UFC paycheck! And if Dana had any balls he would have at the least grabbed the mic and declared to matt hamil in front of everyone that he had fought a great fight worthy of victory and that he would ensure that matt would be given an immediate re-match! Like many of you that decision left a bad taste and has me questioning the legitimacy of the ufc! I refuse to pay good money to watch fake bs! And to the rampage hater……rampage touched gloves with hendo before they started the 1st round. ALso, he didn’t steal any expression from chucky cheese! Rampage as been doing those gestures for years as a fighter in Japan and all over the world! If you know any thing about rampage it’s that he is a fun loving easy going guy who is his own man making his own way! Just because you like chuck doesn’t mean you have to hate Rampage or anyone else!

I don’t know what cracks you up so much about it. You should be proud of a fellow American that has the nuts to go to another country and blast “Born in the USA” Not some bullshit lullaby that Bisping stumbled out to. Be proud to be an american. I hope your not buying into the brit shit.
I’m not a Bruce Springsteen fan. However I’m a Matt Hamill fan. I have a cousin that’s deaf and I always cover my mouth when I talk in front of her. She loves it. To see what she went through to get where she’s at, I have a ton of respect for Matt. But, no one is above being jabbed at.

DAM Hamill whipped his ass. Reason he lost? Tickets sales? 1st time sold out since the Bruno Mc fight? UFC wants to expand over in Europe and they needed a hometown hero. More and more corruption will follow. I lost all respect for the UFC tonight. How funny was Bisbing talking like he won the fight or something. RIP UFC
WHAT THE HELL, I AM COMPLETELY BOYCOTTING UFC FIGHTS BECAUSE OF THIS! Anyone who is a UFC fan agrees unless Dana white gives an apology for the misrepresenting of juding by our current judes i agree this sport has lost it’s luster. Give up the England market for the US, so what if we have recissionary market. We have a bigger fan base, when football "soccer"comes back into play they will not give one big shit about the UFC and there you will be no more room for growth. So make your move Dana white because me and hundreds of other UFC fans refuse to pay money for things that we can see on the WWE. MY or my how the mighty have fallen and how they have gone so deep that will do anything they can for money how will god or whatever higher power you believe view this move you soulless bastards. Good luck and may god pay for your deciet.

UFC judging criteria, which is effective striking, grappling, aggression, and octagon control.
Effective Striking – Hamil won the first two rounds easily and I’ll be nice and say Bisping won the third but Hamil won 2 of 3.
Grappling – Hamil took Bisping down with complete ease, theres no way I could give anything to Bisping here.
Aggression – Bisping was only agressive when he was trying to keep Hamil from taking him down. Hamil didn’t seem very aggressive but he was dominating with ease so he really didn’t need to be.
Octagon Control – Bisping to me won in this category. Hamil only controlled the center of the ring, Bisping ran circles around the outside of the cage therefore he controlled more of the cage:) That must have been what the judges were thinking. Hamil won the octagon control no contest.
Those 4 category make 49% of the judging, home field advantage makes up 51% of the judging and Bisping had the home field advantage so even if he got dominated for three rounds I guess he wins. Thats the only conclusion I can come up with.
You couldn’t say it any better…

cwar, it doesn’t matter if the takedowns are “harmless” because they are still points. Besides, Hamill let Bisping up.
Well I guess Im the only one who agreed with the scoring. I know Bisping got straight up owned in the first. The 2nd round Hammil did nothing except two takedowns, which (like I already said) Bisping immediately got up again. I think Bisping got the better of the exchanges in the 2nd , so you pretty much either rule in favor of 2 takedowns when you opponent didnt even stay down, or the better of the striking. It could have gone either way. It just went Bisping ways. In the 3rd round Hammil was done, he was totally gassed and got pummelled. I seriously thought he was gonna get knocked out the 3rd round. There you have it, your score 29-28 Bisping. I still applaud Hammil though, he did awesome and definitely had the ability to beat Bisping, just didnt have enough conditioning I guess.

I am shocked. I have bought every pay per view UFC in the past 2 years. New fan. However, even though there have been some shitty fights, from time to time, it is only this free event that leaves me feeling I did not get my monies worth.
I feel bad for Rampage and Henderson, their excellent fight was overshadowed by a totally shocking decision in the previous fight. Of course, I feel bad for Matt Hamill who clearly won but was honourable in defeat.
I am also shocked that the “Count”, who should have been out counted 90-84, didn’t have the balls to call it like it was or al least be respectfull in victory, when I am sure he has to know he lost.
What a dick!
No way I am buying the next one, unless Dana announces a rematch in the next few months between these two.

I heard UFC bought PRIDE straight out. The Yakuza (japanese mafia) had fundamental control of the organization and when that revelation was revealed, all backing sponsorships pulled out (not to be associated with the Yakuza) and basically PRIDE went bankrupt and had no choice but to have an allegiance with UFC. Which raises questions if fights were fixed. Do you think Henderson is a bonafide champion in the first place? Is this a ligitimate MMA organization or what? For all I know, all fights could have been fixed..Can there be a legitimate boxing federation alliance like that of boxing? Not that boxing hasn’t had its own problems in the past…

Some of you guys are getting way to worked up about the Bisping Hammill fight. As I saw it the fight round was all Hammil he definately won that round. The last round of the fight was almost definately Bisping. I didn’t think the second round was fairly close and neither fighter accomplished much. Hammil had the take downs but he accomplished jack shit with them. I really don’t think anyone was robbed, you could have given the round either way. It was a fight I would have liked to see have another two rounds to decide it as I really didn’t think it had a decisive conclusion. I think more so than saying it was fixed, it simply points to the fact that it would be nice to see some of the non-title fights go past 3 rounds.

c-war, you must be out of your mind (or British). The only Octagon control Bisping had was making Hamill chase his around so he could beat his ass. Hamill mathematically won that fight by a point. The judge that said Bisping won round 1 must have been high. The judging was flawed, this fight was clearly judged to promote the UFC in England.

I would like to hear other people opinions of this and who he should fight next, and how long it should be till he gets a title shot. Because I really think Alexander can and would beat rampage.
Second, was I trippin with the announcement that Bisping won a decision over Hamill? In my eyes hamill won that fight clearly. I’m not sure what fight those 2 judges were watching but it wasnt this one. I had respect for Bisping till his antics after the fight. I went on a 20 minute tirad when I heard the announcement and Bispings comments. When he said back to wrestling I was like WTF are you talking about when Hamill clearly won the stand up battle. From what I could tell most of bispings punches were blocked, as well as hamill able to take him down with ease. Hamill is not a one dimensional fighter anymore in my eyes and my respect for him has greatly increased with his comments after this BS decision.

I watched the fight and it was clearly Matt Hammill had control of the fight from the start. He was not bothered by Bisping’s punches.
Common sense – it was clear Matt won the fight. As for 2nd round, takedowns count. Bisping did not do much in 2nd round. He was desperate in third round and Matt took him down as well as punching him.
Other thing which did not fit me well was that bisping had the coaches yelling directions to him. Hammill did not have coaches yelling directions. All deaf athletes don’t get coached during performances. Maybe all hearing and deaf athletes should not get coached during the performances but only during breaks. Coaches have already prepared their players during training and practices so should let them perform and learn on their own. Matt has done so well. He was trained very well, improved his defense tremoudensly. Only issue was he did not finish Bisping in all three rounds when he had the chance. Its something he will review and discuss with his coaches.
I have lost respect for Bisping when he made those comments after winning the fight. Hes trying to be Tito but he is not!
hes not a bad boy; hes a sore loser who finally gave in to fight against Hammer knowing how good Hammer is.
All I am saying is Matt the Hammer Hammil had controlled the fight. Its pretty clear.

Close round 2, could go either way. Hamill did get two takedowns but Bisping got right back up after both of them, and Bisping looked like he landed more accurate and powerful strikes. Close. I might give it to Bisping. 10-9. Very close.
Two of the judges were either completely delutional,or bought out, to come to the conclusion that Bisping won. What’s your reason? The rest of the world saw Hamill winning without question and they’re pissed and disgusted.

That’s probably the most controversial decision they’ll have made in a long time, but damn right Hamill won that….. My jaw dropped when they announced that sucker Bisping (the ridiculous part is he probably really thinks even he won) as the victor. Hamill even kept letting that fool get back up on his feet into the beginning of the 3rd round. Point is, not only is Bisping a weak fighter, unworthy of fighting in the Octagon, he also has little to no sportsmanship. Ultimate Farce Championship is more like it.

Unless of course they just got it wrong at the fights. I’d be quicker to say ufc.com has it wrong, as their webmasters aren’t the sharpest tools in the shed

There is no way Bisping won that fight! Hammill got robbed! And what was with Joe asking Matt if he thought he had won it? He knew darn well he did. This is so wrong! All the training and hard work that is put in to have something that you really earned be robbed from you.

How did Bisping win this fight? really? I give the fight to Hamill, an easy decision. And most people agree. This was one of the worst judges decisions I have ever seen. And you know what will Dana say, “well dont let it go to the judges.” Ya, because if you do, the fix is in! Also, Bisping at the end was talking trash about how hamill is just a wrestler, what an idiot you are Bisping. you got rocked standing too.
Complete BS.
Bisbing has always been and will always be afraid of Matt. To cover himself during the TV show he was always whinning about Matt. Michael knows that Matt is the better athlete and a KA fighter. Matt was robbed, which was stated first by my 7 year old. I thouhgt maybe I was a little biased about Matt since he has trained with my 2 boys a couple of times over the last year but reading all the comments reassures me that my gut was right.
Bisbing should man-up but he ain’t no man. Matt was awsome in the post fight interview. You know he wangted to scream you Fing Biacth…….

Bad decision on Bisbing vs. Hamill. Hawaiian time here so looks like there are other comments on this same issue.
I literally sat in my living room in disbelief that the judges voted the way they did. Had to seriously blink a few times before reality hit me. I felt that was SOOOOO rigged for home court advantage. Matt dominated, sure a little tired at the end, but still dominated. I respect all these fighters but Bisbing is not that great and Matt is the real winner of that fight. Looking forward to next time… aloha!

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 fucking mad about the Bisping fight….Fuck.

Hamill kicked Bisbing’s *ss in every round. There needs to be some kind of check here or else UFC is going to go the way of boxing….and I used to love boxing. I liked UFC better when there were no weight classes much more than the regulated “sport” it has become. I know there is more money in it now but I think that has opened the door to money being passed as good judgement….aaargh!

Somebody call the cops MATT HAMILL was robbed. He dominated Michael Bisping. Threw him around the ring like a little ragdoll. Beat him standing aswell as on the ground. UFC & PRIDE & JUDGES should be ashamed of themselves.Michael Bispings win was POLITICAL and not from talent.He unquestionably lost all 3 rounds. Sad to see that MONEY,MARKETING,BUISNESS,POLITICS,etc… Can influence and pre-determine the outcome of a fight before its even fought. BISPING was favored.Representing LONDON And thus got the win because of that and other factors. None of which involved Skill, or talent from BISPING. MY hats off to you MATT HAMILL I aswell as you and I’m sure that the majority of fans who saw the fight Know in our hearts who the TRUE winner of your match was. You OWNED Bisping.

bisping diserved to win as he was the better fighter
Ummm perhaps you were watching whatever silly fight the judge that decided in favour of Bisping? Bisping lost ALL 3 rounds by FAR and its complete B.S. that he won the split decision…He was rocked, knocked and dominated the entire 3 rounds then had the nads to tell Hamill to go back to wrestling and that he “only got him a couple times”??? He RAN from Hamill and looked like he was going to urinate himself!! I was yelling by myself in my living room watching, and was CERTAIN that Hamill would get the decision and I was in shock that he didn’t…I am not even watching, nor could I even enjoy Rampage/Henderson because I am still fuming from Bisping winning…cocky twat! Thats my story and i’m sticking to it!!!

I think that Bisping outboxed him. In the since that he hit him with more clean punches. None of his punches effected Hamill though. If a heavyweight fighter hits a ligh weight hard 5 times but the lightweight hits him more with less force the lightweight gets the nod. I think that is what happened in the Bisping fight. Bisping needs to go down to 185 anyway I think that he could be a force in that weight class

how does 1 judge have it 30-27 Hammil and the other 2 have it 29-28 Bisping…this is part of what has ruined boxing and I hope the UFC seriously looks at the scoring discrepencies. Not to mention, do takedowns no longer count?? By my count Hammil won rd 1 and 3 simply from takedowns, Bisping did not win this fight, he didn’t land enough and was counterpunching the whole fight except for the last 1:30 of the fight, it reaks of corruption. I am a HUGE ufc fan and it sickens me to see things like this happen. I am not a Hammil apologist, or a Bisping hater, I love seeing good fights, only guy I am partial to in all of UFC is Liddell.

Why are people blaming the ufc? The ufc is not in control of their judges. That is the whole point of it being impartial. If the ufc had control over what their judges did, then it wouldn’t be credible at all. Emailing the ufc is pointless, and will do nothing but make you look like an idiot
With that said, I think this is the worst decision since Nog vs Ricco. Terrible decision
Do you actually think 2 judges really seen Bisping as the true winner? No, of course not, no judge could be that BLIND. So what could cause a judge to make such a blatently false decision? MONEY thats what. WWE fans wouldn’t care about this crap ,because they like fake crap , but true MMA fans won’t put up with it. I know I won’t.

“Who’s the winner?’ Bisping asked British fans..The judge(s) who got paid off to give the fight to him. Who are the real losers? Any fan who thought that this fight wasn’t fixed! There is no way Bisping was the winner and to be so arrogant after some judge who lacks character literally GAVE the fight away just adds insult to injury. For the commentators to even interview him as a winner is a sad commentary in itself. The results of this fight shows that some odds maker and some TV executive gave away more than the exchange rate of US dollars compared to the British Pound (2 GBP to 1 USD), and that’s about how you’d have to do the scoring in order for Bisping to come out the winner…Matt has overcome a hearing challenge to become a very competitive fighter, now it seems he also has to overcome the eyesight of some judges as well. This is so sad…I agree NO MORE PAY PER VIEW UNTIL THEY ADDRESS THIS GROSS INJUSTICE!

Bisping SHOULD NOT HAVE WON THAT FIGHT. Period.
He spent the whole night running away like a little girl. Hamil was the aggressor! UFC is protecting Bisping. Bisping sucks man!
That is complete bull!
TOTALLY AGREE!!! He ran, when he was ABLE to get up, as some people are saying he got up when Hamill took him down, Hamill LET him up so he could continue the stand up fight! I am still completely shocked about this decision and though I liked Bisping in the Ultimate Fighter show, I have completely lost respect for him his last 2 fights…the last one in Manchester, they matched him with someone admittedly knowing he was no match and would more than likely lose, which he almost took him out with that arm bar, and Bisping could barely admit he almost tapped, then this one…AMAZING that the judges gave him the split decision…I AM SO PISSED off…Hamill clearly won…UFC needs to reverse the decision and Bisping needs to admit defeat, GRACEFULLY and not like the arrogant twat that he is!

Bisping’s own country was booing when he was talking! Everybody knew he lost! The only judge wasn’t bought and sold had it 30 – 27 Hamill! The other two had split the rounds. Cecil peoples, and Jeff Mullin have been bought and sold, This is the beginning of the end for the UFC, they’ve sold out officially like boxing. Never thought it would happen but it did. Horrible, horrible, horrible night for Hamill. The UFC didn’t want Bisping to lose because they’re padding his records to present him as the British champion and build a fan base. Everybody KNEW that though, but I NEVER thought they’d sell their integrity to make it happen, absolutely disgusting! Nobody in the right mind could possibly have Bisping winning this fight, PERIOD.

At the very least I want Dana White to fire the two judges, Jeff Mullen and Chris Watts, for robbing Matt Hamill tonight.
Along with crooked promoters who robbed fighters of their money, bad judges also contributed to the demise of boxing.
Dana White promised us he would never allow theiving promoters into the UFC, well what about Judges robbing certain fighters of wins in the ring?
I watched Forrest Griffith kick Tito Ortiz ass and Tito got the decision.
I watched Keith Jardin beat the crap out of Stephan Bonner and Bonner got that decision.
Now I watch this poor bastard, Matt Hamill, get robbed by these two son of a bitches tonight because the UFC wants to promote itself in Europe with Michael BisQueen. This guy is a bitch and his two victories were against a replacement fighter from the UFC Josh Haynes and an aging Elvis Sinococ. Give me a break.
You’ve got to love Matt Hamill for walking into the cage with Bruce Springsteen’s born in the USA in the 02 Arena in London against a hometown pussy!
Dear Mr.Dana White,
You have my total confidence to call it like you see it and I expect you to call these decision a bullshit one. I am angry about tonight’s decision and I’m surprised the normally honest Joe Rogan didn’t step up and state that Matt Hamill was robbed. It reeks of collusion. I had difficulty making out what Matt Hamill was saying like everyone else but he did say twice that he thought he won the fight.
For those of us who lost money on tonight’s fight with Hamill getting robbed, don’t lose much sleep. You’ll make it all back on BisQueen’s next fight. It’s obvious he’s a F$%King Pussy!

The UFC scoring system is flawed anyways. Using a point system and determining who wins the most rounds is not a good way to judge a fight. For example, if fighter “A” dominates one round and causing a lot of damage but fighter “B” barely edges the other 2 rounds, does fighter “B” win the fight even though he got hurt a lot more? The fight should be judged as a whole, just like what Pride does.

This is the most BS fight I have ever witnessed, I’m pretty sure HULK HOGAN vs. ANDRE THE GIANT was more legit…. Obviously somebody was giving out h*nd j*bs in the British judge’s lockeroom before the match (Joe Rogan), because their minds were someplace else – not in this fight. Hamill won! I know Dana is desperate to have the British subjects in his audience, but there is something to be said about subtlety!
He gained all of five fans in Britain but lost 1000’s in America. I watched the UFC because its not rigged BS like Pride and Don King boxing.

All you lot are achieving with your crybaby screams of “fixed” and “robbed” is creating the re-match (which will definatly happen) And belive me when the rematch takes place, Bisping will put this bad night at the office behind him.

I thought I was the only one that seen the Matt Hammil win that fight. Something seriously needs to be brought up about that. In my opinion, Matt Hammil worked on his striking and has gotten incredible at it compared to what he was before. He is close to becoming an extremely dangerous fighter if he can keep his wrestling in tact and improve his striking. Overall tho, anyone who seen the fight or hears about it will know that Hammil got robbed. Even Bisping knows he lost. About the Rampage/Hollywood fight. That was an awesome fight. Jackson improved his ground game like crazy. I did not expect him to be as impressive as he was on the ground. I guess that goes to show that Rampage is no joke. He knocked out a stiker and he pretty much won a ground fight with an extremely, hall of famer, great wrestler.

I really think that Matt Hamill was robbed too, I was voting for Bisping, but after I saw the fight I knew Hamill should have won.

Jackattack, your right?? Matt Hamill didn’t, but Bisping did, convince himself and maybe 3 other ppl that without a doubt he won that fight?? If and when the rematch happens, again your right on the money, Bisping will knock Hamill out?? He showed soooooooo much promise as he beat up Hamill’s fist in their first fight where I can see you making that golden prediction?? Then, you have the nerve to throw “can’t make an intelligent comment” out there in a reply?? You obviously must be Bisping’s towel and or water boy, with his head so far up Bisping’s ass that you weren’t able to watch the actual fight where Hamill controlled 75% of it. Jackattack, for UFC 76, please list your predictions so I can lay some money down on them. You seem to be the only intelligent person here because everyone else is either blind or dumb.

Besides the fight obviously being rigged—which was certainy bad enough, hte thing that really galled me was Bisping’s attitude afterwards!! He showed himself as a real punk—some would say at last. He lacks any class. He’s no GSP that’s for sure. Dana White won’t do a damn thing about it either. He knows this will just blow over. But, Joe Rogan saying nothing about the decision!! Do me a favour!! The worst all round. The only one who came out of that night’s debacle was Hamill—how could someone be so gracious after he must have known he won—perhaps he knew that was going to be the result all along—as did Bisbing and White. Oh, I nearly forgot —the judges too.

First off, read the damn comments because I agree that Hamill beat Bisping hands down. But he didn’t finish the fight which always leaves it open to controversy. Particularly when Cecil Peoples is a judge.

MMA is a love of many young athletes and Matt fighting with a hearing dissability shows them that there are no limits. He was so gracious and his sportsmanship at the end of the fight was amazing. I was glad that my boys got to see that accepting defeat does not make you lesser of an athlete. Now if I can just explain to them that Matt was the real winner without confussing them.
How can a fighter fight when he is running from his opponent the entire time. Matt chased Bisbing around the octagon all 3 rounds, no wonder he looked a little tired. I think what we really saw in Matt’s face was his dissapointed that Bisbing failed to engage in the ring.
I live the UFC anf the competition that we have seen in the past. I can only hope and pray that it will get back to the roots.

Oh man! Remember earlier I gave you all my prediction, Hamil and kongo will pull off an upset. Kongo pulled it off. Hamil got robbed. Cro cop is a shame. I was a big fan, nut now his one dimensional arsenal has caught up to him, and his ego wont allow
him to make the needed adjustments. Bisping knows he lost. Rampage fight went the way I thought (exceept he didnt slam hendo, its nice to hear that he was still looking for it). Kongo upset was worth some nice change. I thought Sakara would take out Alexander but boy was I wrong, that dude is scary powerful. He looks for real and I’m curious to c who they match him up with next. Maybe Forrest, after he looses to Shogun.
Etim will test positive for roids!
I thought It lived up to the hype, with the exception of Bisping. Hamil should be furious. Kongo has improved. He is scary good on his feet. He throws powerful knees when they are actually above the waste.
Rampage is really improving. His punches look crisp, they look nasty powerful, after that performance and the fight vs. Lindland his wrestling has to be considered world class. 1 thing I always loved about Rampage is that even in Pride is ground n pound would include a brutal beatdown to the body. Rampage always throws knees to the body, and powerful elbows to the ribs. His chin is as tough as advertised. His conditioning looked phenominal (very explosive in the last couple seconds of every rd). Rampage is really turned into a world class fighter. All that “Im a brawler” stuff is crap. He is a very well rounded fighter. He diplayed excellent submission defense (as always). Quinton is gonna be very tough to beat. He went hard for 25 minutes, got rocked, recovered, and put the hurt on Dan. Its gonna be very interesting to c how the “new RAMPGE” matches up with shogun n wanderlei. I think he will demolish wanderlei, but Shogun still scares me (although its way closer in my mind then b4).
Props to Juanito. All his fighters won tonight. He is becoming an elite mma trqainer Exhibit A: Quinton Rampage Jackson.
Props to Bisping for getting the worst decision win I have seen since they said that Rampage beat Murilo “Ninja” Rua.
At least it spared us from hearing Hamil go “Whooooooooooo”

Hammill beat Bisping, period. This is bullshit and people need to question whether that fight was RIGGED, like the WWE. PITIFUL!!!!!!!!
the judges decision is final and in all fairness the brits always get ripped off with results in the u.s so it dont matter..hamill looked worn out in the 2nd round and bisping caused alot more damage to his face…go bisping your the new up and coming champion..

Just like the olympics, when you leave the judging to Europeans LORD BEHOLD the winner will always be a European!!!!! Money can buy a lot including a non deserved vote. It’s truely disgusting and if is not adressed by the UFC many fans will be disappointed and if this type of judging continues fans will not stay on board.
I want to understand how the judges justify giving the win to Bisbing? Were they watching the same match the rest of us were? Did they realize Hamil dominated all three rounds! All Bisbing did was defend himself and try to hold his face together. It’s not until the last minute did Bisbing throw some real punches AND THIS WAS WORTH HIM WINNING THE WHOLE FIGHT ?—-BULLSHIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Even the fight commentators if you listen carefully during the third round kept saying Hamil “WAS SECURING HIS WIN”!
THE FACTS:
HAMIL connected his punches, he was constantly on the attack, he took down Bisbing countless times during all three rounds AND ACTUALLY WON THE FIGHT!
BISBING was constantly on the defense, was taken down many times, was given chances by Hamil to get back on his feet, was totally dominated and got his face punched in!!! His own wife was shocked to hear the verdict!!! His own fans booed him in the end!!!!! And he still had the odacity with a punched in face to assert that the win belonged to him and that he deserved the UFC reality show win. WHO THE FUCK DO YOU THINK YOUR KIDDING!
DECISION: BULLSHIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
fyi: If you go to www.UFC.com & check out the post video interview you will clearly notice how bisbang is trying to justify his win?? he clearly knows in his
HEART that he should of LOST this fight ? @ 1 point he even says that he believed in the judges eyes that he was LOOSING THE FIGHT ?

Well folks to say that Matt Hamill lost was a freakin tragedy he fought his behind off and lost because of some “blind” judges. To have his perfect record screwed because of national pride is a miscarraige of UFC justice and this matter should be overridden by the UFC owner Dana White. I can’t believe this happened and to let it go like something wrong never occurred is just plain terrible for the sport. This is an example of why people won’t fall in love with a sport and lose it’s ppv appeal as boxing has with it’s fixed decisions and ring hoaxes.
On another note..? Hats off to Cro Cop. Though he has balls of steel fighting to monsters back to back in the heavyweight division, we unfortunately saw that those balls of steele are still vulnerable to repeated blatant low blows(even after a referee command to break for the first one). Ouch!!! sorry Cro Cop I hate to see anyone lose that way. After that double whammy I don’t see how anybody could’ve recovered even with the full five minutes. Mr. Congo, in my book, wins like that are generally frowned upon and not given any merit. Since you are injured I hope you rest and they put you into the ring with Mr. Gonzaga who will be quite hungry after recovering from that broken nose, I hope he eats you alive! A win like that would never get you a title shot if I were the man upstairs.
And finally Mr. White, please, please for the love of . . .
I know the UFC has to be doing pretty good as of late, can we please get some octagon girls with some hindparts!!! They are all extremely lovely ladies but you have to admit that when the camera man follows them back to the seat all closing up on a back shot its pretty light if you get what I mean. As far as WEC, the girls are slightly better but they have an extremely hard time dancing to the beat of the music. Suggestion: Video girls from music videos both have pleasingly plump behinds and certainly have a decided edge in the dancing dept. Let’s take a page from the football success book here and compare,
Hmmmm better cheerleaders. . . better ratings . . . more cash for Mr. White.
And great move picking up pride, that is a dream come true, hats off to the “Donald” of MMA !!!

HAMILL V BISPING RANT:
Bisping had great cardio, took some punishment, and did not give up. Bisping is a good fighter. However, Bisping has become the object of trash talk due to his attitude and lack of respect to anything other than himself.
Matt Hamill controlled the tempo, controlled the ring, and dictated the fight. I recall Hamill taking Bisping down three times in the third and the minor Bisping surge being deflected in the last thirty seconds of the same round(His effort reminded me of a pasty Sugar Ray.) Hamill’s improvement in his standup was great and his toughness can not be questioned.
I think the majority of fans wanted to embrace both fighters but are left feeling betrayed by the whore of marketing. What a tragedy. What other fights have been affected? Can I now believe in a 44 year old champion?
Who can digest this garbage when each of us have spent hundreds of dollars on PPV and many hours investing ourselves into this sport. Many have watched countless replays on the web and Spike TV? We know what these competitors give and risk of themselves to participate at such a high level. Dana White – you have lost your integrity and this former UFC fan.

Mirkos loss is humiliating I beleive he is done these 2 losses mark the ending to a reign of a King in MMA, It seems like he was scared to engage thats why he lost you cant let the other guy pick you apart you gotta be first always like BJ Penn says and kick and punch right away go all out thats why you train for, Now Mirkos thinking if only I would have kicked and punched alot more right from the get go. Be the agressor always in this game. I beleive Matt Hamil was robbed those stupid ass referees gave the fight to Bisping he didnt do any damge, Hamill was in control throughout the whole fight He wasnt even winded and was the agressor thos judges should be fired immediatley if their reading this you stupid bastards. Dana white needs to get actual retired UFC fighters who know the game by heart who are honest to judge these fights, Oh and first sign of fights being fixxed like the Serra vs Pierre fight that looked Ify and im no longer an MMA fan, Heed the words of the brother.

I am glad to see that I am not the only person who saw Hamill kick the crap out of Brisbing! I am a fan of both fighters. Brisbing is solid, and trains hard. I was torn on who I wanted to win the fight. The obvious awful decision from the judges really makes me angry, and I have lost all trust in brisbing for not saying he disagreed.
I love Hamill for overcoming his disability and really showing what hard work can do. I really think that he got a bad rap on the show, and I think that Dana wanted it that way. I really don’t think that Dana wants a Def fighter in the ring, so he is doing what he can to get him out. I really hope that I am proven wrong in that though. Also I want to say that Hamill has really Matured, he will be a great fighter and I hope he sticks with it.
I also want to Comment on Crocop, to me it really looks like he is done. He used to be so good and explosive, but against Gonzaga, and now Congo, he looked like crap.

This was the last UFC event I have watched. And no – even thou I am a die-hard CroCop fan and think the (in total) 3 kicks to the mid section (over the course of two rounds) should have resulted in point deduction for Kongo.
The thing that really pissed me off was the Bisping-Hamill fight. Everyone knows that Bisping is the posterboy for the UFC in the UK, but that decision was outrageous!
Judge 1: 29-28 Bisping
Judge 2: 30-27 Hamill
Judge 3: 29-28 Bisping
C’mon! Are you kidding me?
Outrageious dosnt even begin to describe it. I don’t even know what to do. I am so scared now we have set ups going on behind the scenes, how can you support UFC after that?

I cant believe how many people are rioting about this fight. It was close, yet you all act like it was a landslide victory for Hammil. The 2nd round could have been either way, thats all it was. Just think of it as one of Clay Guida’s Split decision losses, it could go either way…..I really actually did think Bisping won it.
You don’t really believe that—unless you were one of the judges. You’re self-delusional or you just want to stir it up.

You’re young and naive. If he fought a decent fighter in the States he’d get mullered—as indeed he was in London. Hold on to your dreams—the two judges in England gave you that—next time he’ll get the credit he rates for being chased around the ring, battered and bruised, completely owned and sitting up against teh fence in teh cage with a look of complete dazzlement, huffing and puffing wondering what he’s going to say to his fans. Frankly, the only ones more surprised with the decision were the English crowd who are quite discerning and knew who really won. Their response to teh call was suitably muted as was entirely appropriate.

Hey, I was on another blog and found a link to a petition that they are going to send Dana White in regards to the Hamil/Bisbing decision. If you’re like me and think it was a bunch of bullshit, sign it please!

I know for a FACT Cecil Peoples scored it for Bisping, he was the last judge to render his decision and I heard it clearly. Jeff Mullins I’m only 90% sure.
This is cut from the above article on UFC:
All three judges gave the first round to Hamill, with Bisping rebounding to win the next two on the cards of Jeff Mullen and Cecil Peoples. Judge Chris Watts was the lone Hamill voter, awarding all three rounds to the American.

I guess it was entertaining, but that was it. Matt fought a real good fight, He was the winner of that one, but somehow the hometown favorite won. Come on people, you are getting as bad as ALL STAR WRESTLING, you know FAKE FAKE FAKE.
Even the match between Rampage and Henderson, come on Henderson won that one. Everyone could see that. But you gave the win to Rampage; WHY???? Everyone hates to see a one time/one fight Champion….yea, come on. I might as well return to ALL STAR WRESTLING. If you want to set these fights up as fake, hell, bring in more women. This is turning into a joke.
