6/9 right…
I personally thought Bisping won, mainly because I’m not a fan of wrestlers getting takedowns and not doing anything with the position.
Edgar and Fisher was a bit of a dissapointment, I guess common sense just won out with Edgar and he decided not to throw down.
Houston did a decent job to regain half guard but he didn’t seem to know how to wrap up the legs… he just left it open, it was almost like he got taught the guard yesterday.
Herman and Doerksen = Fight of the Night
Joe Lauzon = Submission of the night
Ed Herman = KO of the night
10 Point Must System Strikes Again!
Bisping won this fight. Evans was not able to do anything (except get punched) while standing so he took Bisping down and layed on him. This is the fault of the 10 Point Must system and judges that are not sure how to score these fights.
What happened in the fight was obvious. The first two rounds were close (because nothing happened) and Bisping won the third. However, the decision did not match what we all saw.
This was ironic (and almost fitting) since Bisping had just been given the victory in a fight that he lost to Matt Hamill. However, MMA fans are going to get tired of decisions going the wrong way. The UFC has got to figure out a better way to score these fights. Not all fights can end in a KO or submission, and we want to see the winners…well….win.
