I hate it for Chris Leben. Who would have thought that Bisping would go all Machida on us?I don’t know what to think of Vera now.I think he’s the Shaun Alexander of mma.

Leben was robbed! Should I believe the judges, Dana White, Leben, et. al. and those idiotic, unloved third cousins in the London crowd, or my own eyes?

I actually fell asleep during the Vera fight and missed the end of the show.Glad Bisping will be tied up for months with TUF,also Wain was’nt exposed he had no business being in the cage with Carwin if the fight was’nt in England he never would have been on the card.

Dana is fine with Bisping winning. Thats his British ambassador. Im not happy with the result or the fight in general. But at least Bisping can coach the next TUF season.

And Wain exposed what?!?!? You mean the 1:31 of the actual fight? or when they scraped his body off the canvas after the fight? Im not saying Carwin is at his full potential yet, but to say a dude that got his ass whipped in under 2minutes, exposes nothing.

i thought taylor earned at least one round, same with leben, and i agree JBAR, he did kind of machida/starnes leben a bit, plus when a guy is walking toward you with his hands down giving you a free shot take it and get your KO bonus…unless bisping just couldnt do it…in which case no title shot soon for him

I can’t imagine Dana being happy with a fighter who plans to stick and move (jab and run) and plans on going to a decision.

from what i was watching, Leben didn’t look like he was in any trouble at all from what Bisping was doing and a couple points in the fight, Leben definitely looked like he nearly caught Bisping out.
agreed, unfortunately despite that Bisping outscored him on points. I felt that it was hard to argue that Bisping didn’t win the first two rounds.

Leben was definitely more astute then normal he had his hands up and was much more technical although to close out the second round he was just walking with his hands by his sides and throwing the looping right punch..

I think that was an intentional tactic, to both bait Bisping and show the judges that he wasn’t scared of Bisping’s hands.

Vera still looks too scared to engage. The card was decent overall.

P.S. Did anyone else see Wain expose Carwin’s standup game? Carwin did not want to stay standing with him.

glad bisping didnt get carried away when asked about a title shot, he is no where near. landed some good punches but there is conter fighting and running away, it was almost of kalib starnes proportions but with more punches.
vera looked pretty shite, i missed most of that fight as i had to shit. lyttle and taylor was hella entertaining, suprised lyttle got unanimous tho, thought taylor may have nicked it with a split, great fight tho.
paul kelly, looked pretty shite, couldnt land a punch, sokoudhou looked pretty shite, notice kristopz whatever from TUF in his corner? luiz cane looks dangerous. joe rogan had a cool beard. the main event took up the best part of an hour? fuck off. unnessecary.

how was leben robbed? his plan was to rush in and get the big hit but Bisping was more elusive and did more damage

By: David Andrest

David Andrest — Sat, 18 Oct 2008 21:57:33 +0000

Good God that was brutal. But I have a theory, Vera lost because he was so distracted by the lips firmly planted on his ass the entire fight by Goldie and Rogan.
