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

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. Dana is fine with Bisping winning. Thats his British ambassador.

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.

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..

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. 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.
