That last sentence is the reason why i came to post here. Also i kinda got excited when i saw that my boy Terry Etim is fighting. I didn’t know he was on this card though i should have just assumed. U can see the leaps he makes from fight to fight – not the joe rogan improves from fight to fight aka looks the same or possibly worse.

KANG R.I.P Bisping will make you pay for dumb yank fans

What will he make us pay for, another brutal KO loss for him?

Tony, i am from the UK too. You make us all sound like idiots with stuff like that.
In terms of the fight I think it is pretty even really. Will be interesting to see how Bisping comes out following his huge KO loss. Might have lost a bit of his swagger, could improve him as a fighter tho.

I don’t know what anybody is complaining about with this card….
Randy could get knocked out or could earn a title shot at 205
Bisping is hated by many and could get knocked out in London
Swick could earn a title shot with win over Hardy
All free….

I think Hardy vs Swick is going to be the best fight on this card. I think they’re both good stand up fighters. And as un popular an opinion as this might be, if it stays on the feet I say Hardy wins it. Hardy already had great stand up and now he has been working with Freddy Roach, I think it’ll be even better, but if I were Hardy I’d be working on wrestling and jits as my priority. Hardy’s weakness is on the ground, although he did very well when escaping various sub attempts from Davis and managed to get up his core strength just might not be at a high enough level to deal with clinching and grappling with top 10 guys. Butit’s going to be an explosive fight.

Mania – can you change the fight card and poster for 106. It makes me sick everytime I look at it

I’ve never understood the Bisping hate. His record is excellent, only losing to championship-caliber opponents. He’s got charisma and an interesting persona, he’s a good interview, he’s a TUF winner.
Bisping’s a cocky bastard… is that it? Tito Ortiz is hated on for running his mouth, etc. Kind of the same situation.
Is it the fight against Matt Hamill that gets Bisping the hate? I find that kind of hard to believe because Hamill is not much beloved by anyone online. Maybe it’s some sort of displaced sympathy turned Bisping hate because Hamill’s deaf? And the poor deaf guy lost a close fight he should have won?

Aggred nokia! Hope mania posts it after. And by the way:
105>106. Big time. Much better card. And not to start a storm or nothing but I bet more ppl would pay ppv for 105 then 106 now

I’m gutted that I’m going to miss the weigh ins, because of lectures I’m going to be back home on Friday night so there’s no way that I’ll be back in time.
Great news that GSP will be in the UK, for once I’m jealous of Fight Club members, having him over for the Q&A is huge. It also confirms to me that he’ll officially challenge the Swick-Hardy winner. I’ll be giving him a huge cheer when I see him.
Manchester isn’t Bisping’s hometown, it’s the closest he’ll get to being the hometown boy but being born in a UK army base in Cyprus, raised in Clitheroe and training in Widnes does not make him a Manc. I’m cheering for Kang anyway.
