Agreed. It was like he lost the will to fight in 3 & 4.

I think he won round 3 (assuming we're talking about the same person) and possibly #4 too. I think in reality, the win was only by a round or so. The final scoring was unfair.

[BRMMA]

was a great fight, so good that i didn't reall pay much attention to who was winning, both guys came out of it with their reputations enhanced though

[FredClogs]

Agreed, very good fight, two very good fighters. I got the impression there was a point deducted for what happened at the bell in round 1, given that I gave it the other way but I guess the result was fair

[GregK2]

No point was deducted, what gave you that impression?

I was drinking and my wife was talking at me... dunno...

[GregK2]

The commentators even kept talking about it and how there was no point deducted
Ban the wife from being in the room when UFC is on!

To be fair I find they miss quite a lot of stuff, or get it wrong, so dont take what they say as 100% accurate (Brian Stann I find to be frustrating in his commentary).

One quote from Goldberg made me laugh, talking of Aldo "Everything's a faint, or its not....Sometimes its both"

Ross Pearson and Bisping fighting on the card on at the moment in Australia.

My tivo didn't set it to record, I noticed in time though, another fight night after as well iirc.

[Don1]

Not the greatest nights for the Brits...

[Johnny]

No. Thoroughly disappointing.

[BRMMA]

Everyone that i wanted to win this weekend lost, there were some really good fights though and some very impressive performances

some questionable decisions on the Brazil card, doesn't really encourage foreign fighters to accept fights there, though i guess if you do what OSP did then they're irrelevant

[FredClogs]

I think Bisping should think about giving up, I've heard rumour his right eye has been mashed up for a long time and he's almost blind in it, by his own admission he didn't know what had hit him when Rockhold shins were flying around his ear holes, I'm sure his heart is still in it but I fear he might end up being a punching bag.

[davey68]

Yes tough night for the brits. I feared for Bisping all along despite his trash talk. Rockhold is better in most areas apart from boxing. Disappointed for Ross, I thought his movement, experience and boxing would see him passed raging al. Might be the end for shogun too after another poor night.

So 180 this weekend - Hunt Vs Werdum for the interim HW title. God I want Hunt to knock him out. Come on!

Head says Sub win Werdum, Heart says walk-away KO Hunt

Would love a walk away.

Wasn't impressed with Bisping last week at all, seemed more focused on wanting to cry to the ref and have a moan.

[BRMMA]

Loads of MMA on this weekend, I'll be watching Bellator, CageWarriors and UFC 180. I think Werdum will win the HW title but would love to see Mark Hunt do it

I'm fighting again in 2 weeks, looking forward to getting it done with so i can enjoy getting fat for Christmas

[militantmandy]

Fight night 55...brilliant!

Fight night 56......GUFF!

[g4ry13]

First fight was a good one. The women's fight: I can't believe they let it go beyond the first round - that was nasty.

[VEA]

Just about to sit down and watch 180. Looking forward to this.
