Bisping WINS, Yea right!


Yea, definately the worst call in awhile. One can definately see the UFC machine doin' the damn thing. At last weekend's UFC 75 event in England, Michael Bisping clearly lost the fight to Mark Hamil. I when I say cleary, I mean it.

Bisping got his butt handed to him on most levels of the fight. In the first round Michael was shocked by Hamil's stand up. "Rocking" him and opening up a cut. Rounds 2 and 3 were much slower but by most people's judgement, Bisping maybe could have edged out 1 of the 2 rounds. I stress the word maybe, believe me.

So when the hand was raised for Bisping, the crowd booed and showed England's colors'. Instead of Bisping learning from such greats as Randy Couture and Georges St.Pierre, he boasted and asked " Who's the Ultimater Fighter 3 winner now?" Ridiculous.

Here is what Hamil had to say in his official statement

I think MMA is a great sport and I don’t believe in any kind of a fix. The two judges that scored the win for Bisping obviously need to re-evaluate the way they score a fight. You can’t win a fight when you run for three rounds. They need to study the criteria for scoring an MMA fight: effective striking, grappling, takedowns, aggression and control. Bisping did none of that in my opinion.

Here's what Bisping released to us.

“As most people will of seen the fight with me and Hamil was a close one. I have seen the controversy surrounding the decision so obviously have to reply. I personally feel he won round 1 and I took rounds 2 and 3. That said it was close and can I understand how some people would think differently. On the night I was given the decision and he wasn’t, on another occasion it could of been different.

Looking at message boards it appears that some (major understatement) people are pissed off about my comments afer the fight. Looking back I should of given Hamill more credit as he fought a great fight and has improved his all round game a hell of a lot. What you have to remember is though the adrenalin was running through my veins, I had fought a hard fight and was obviously happy to get the decision. I would like to take this opportunity to say well done to Matt for fighting great and bringing the fight to me big time, I should have commented on this on the night.

I have contacted the UFC and stated I would like to rematch Hamill at everyones earliest convenience as I’m sure most of you know, no fighter wants a win when the decision is debateable. I am happy for the fight to take place where ever, and look forward to settling the score once and for all. I personally feel we put on a great fight for the fans and perhaps people should focus on this more.

I apologise to all my fans who feel let down by anyhting at the weekend, hey Im a young man with alot of emotion and sometimes say things in the heat of the moment.

I’d like to say thanks to everyone who has sent me there messages. Theres been to many to reply to them all. I will say this though, if Matt Hammils gonna cut me next time he might need a carving knife as Ive definately got thicker skin over the last few days.“



The rematch, I guess I don't wanna see because I'd rather protest Zuffa and UFC's blatent fight fix. However, I do now, wanna see Hamil get his justice and payday...
