SPOILER ALERT:
ABSOLUTE F*CKING BULLSH*T!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Matt Hamil CLEARLY won ALL THREE ROUNDS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You could MAYBE argue that Bisping had the 3rd round (though I don't think so), but there is NO WAY IN HELL he had those first 2 rounds. HELL NO!!!!!!!!! Now I gotta watch another fight. I couldn't go to sleep after Cro Cop lost for the 2nd time in the octagon and I certainly won't be able to sleep after this bullsh*t call (lol, I'm too passionate over this sport). Hamil should have never let Bisping get back on his feet during those first 2 rounds. He would've certainly been able to get a submission if he kept it on the ground. The judges were smokin some serious crack though cuz even on his feet he was clearly the better fighter. UNBELIEVABLE!!!!!
Even Bisping himself was surprised that he won
Interesting event..interesting weekend...in all i thought it was great fun.
I must admit I thought the English crowd would be much better than the American crowd - not booing and giving respect to the fighters. I was wrong. I heard many people make ignorant "bloodlust" comments, case in point why i said UFC is making this all commercialized in the wrong way...attracting WWF/WCW sort of fanboys. But, I think you're wrong about them booing Matt Hamil because he was deaf..they were simply booing him cause 1. he walked in to "Born in the USA" (heard a few comments of "bloody yank") 2. they were cheering for their boy Bisping.
Although i was going for bisping, i agree...that decision was wack. ANOTHER reason as to why UFC's rules suck when it comes to the decider. Well, Dana announced there will be a rematch and then let's see what happens. I felt that Bisping also thought he lost the fight, usually at the end of a fight he'll answer with intelligent questions..instead he went onto bashing and justifying his win...
When the Buffer announced the winner between the two, we heard booing from the audience. Although Bisping is the UK goldenboy and he was on home turf, a lot of people didn't agree with the decision.
All over the arena they would have the projector screens with UFC vs PRIDE flags. Quite ridiculous...I wouldn't myself consider Rampage being the posterboy for UFC since he was in PRIDE to begin with. I thought that Hendo won the fight personally, 1st round he definately got, 2,3,4 looked a tad bit even with Hendo with a slight advantage..and 3rd round it seemed rampage was a point ahead...but again, this is why decisions suck...they looked clearly at the striking and disregarded Hendo's ground game.
Right now there's talks that whomever wins the Liddell vs Jardine fight...Wanderlei will fight. Who knows, maybe Rampage will fight Shogun next, if so, he's going to get his PERSE beat to a pulp. It will be interesting to see if it ever leads to Shogun having to fight Wanderlei..cause i doubt that will ever happen or one of the fighters will turn it down. Wanderlei has said in many reports that he'd never fight a "brother" from chute boxe.
