dood the evans vs bisping fight was a draw no doubt

but what goes around comes around for bisping.

the whole card was boring as fuck. The prelim fights were all way better. I would have actually paid to watch the prelim fights.

What is everyone going on about ??? No way Rashad won that fight – no stamina at all, agreed he got the takedowns but so what they should not be considered as a winning aspect of the fight when he did f**k all with them. What is the point of taking someone dwon and then sitting on them whilst getting your breath?? Every time they went to ground Bisping got back up, and he sustained no real damage – as such they can’t win Evans the fight!!!

Sam Caplan , must of been watching a different card then i was? that card sucked and the best of the fights were the PRE-LIMS and that is where most of the bonus money went. Evans has always been a boring fighter he just dont have it. i have been to alot of web sites and they are all saying the same thing as i am -IT sucked, and they charged 40 bucks for this? we better start yelling or we are going to have the same thing again and not only do we get hurt but so does the fighters. that show should of never been a pay-per view – it should of been a free fight card but i think they dana and the brothers are jut looking at dllar signs and not trying t improve the sport. very sad nite of watching

You can lead the horses to the water but you can’t make them fight.

can’t believe the decision against Mike Bisping.. not the best fight in the world but never a win for Evans.. he lasted about 4mins before looking gassed!!! he talks a good game but can’t finish!! mountain of tears..yeah right what a pussy!! I’ve climb higher stairs!! think he did one good take down and even that was a waste cos he didn’t do anything after it but spit his gum shield out and dribble on bisping!! if anything it should be a draw but guess in America that was never going to happen… won’t call them cheats but maybe a fix!! muay thai and vale todo all the way bisping..!! rematch against the hammer then kicks evans ass!!

I think that having a fight between Georges St. Pierre and Jon Fitch some-
time at the end of this year would have generated a lot of excitement for MMA fans; that it couldn’t have been on this card is a shame. Gsp needs to keep his edge and to fight at the end of this year would make good sense since he will be fighting the winner of the Hughes – Serra fight on Dec. 29th.
Maybe it is not as hard on him as it is on his fans to have to wait until March or April to fight; still I keep on wishing. . . .

while i don’t blame them for putting on an event, or not controlling the future with regards to fighter performance, which i don’t really think anyone does, many many people said beforehand this looked like the weakest card yet. while every event doesn’t get a championship fight, having a #1 contender fight would have made it much more exciting. as it is there was barely a #2 or #3 contender fight in there. ed herman’s lame striking just doesn’t interest me. the fact that he’d battered doerksen to a point where he walked into that loopy punch is more interesting…if joe had done a little babalu on herman, he would have been unconscious before the start of the round.
the only thing close to a contender fight was edgar vs fischer. do you think white wants yet another wrestler holding the belt? i think he’s trying really hard to manage who wins and who gets title shots, and it’s making the product they sell weaker, not stronger. credibility is just as important, to me anyways, as entertainment. without fans believing that the fights will happen to give the best fighters a shot at the belt, they’ll slide away to other things.

Yep, Rashad showed that he’s clearly better then Bisbing.

I agree w/ what screwface is saying above about the Bisbing decision. Without a doubt in my mind, Dana White paid off a judge. He wanted to livin’ up the party, soda speak. Im not sure if Dana is a moran or what, but he’s going to get caught red handed won of these days and it will ruin the credobility of the sport.

bisping fought his best fight yet, and rashad fought his worst fight yet. that being said, no way in hell can a judge with eyes score in bispings favor. i personally think that dana white had something to do with that, making it a split decision by influencing one of the judges to maybe create an atmosphere of controversy. like that would hide the fact it was a snooze fest. really boring ufc. houston alexander, maybe next time. but rashad work on your cardio please.
