All in all, I thought the entire night's fights were boring. The main event's was actually the least worst, making the viewing that much better.

I didnt end up watching this at a bar, so it was me by my lonesome. I was one on one with the fights and I was a few times.

Cro Cop...jesus, what, did the UFC cage just totally rob him of his spark? Anyone that watched UFC and never watched Pride wouldnt think twice about Mirko. Konga(o) fought a good fight though, but damn, this is "cro cop."
Agreed on cro cop ... I mean WTF?!?!? Where's cro cop at? That wasn't him.

On Bisping we disagree. He never did anything at all in the fight. His punches were never committed, but thrown with a pulled and guarded action as though he was afraid of the counter punch ... as well he should have been. He also spent 90% of the fight backing up or getting out of trouble. I DID win money on him ... so w/e.

It wasn't unanimous. One judge scored it 30-27, giving all 3 rounds to Hamill.

How anyone in their right mind could see that fight going to Bisping is beyond me. Hamill got fucking robbed by the UFC promotion machine and it stinks to high heaven.

1. Bisping got his ass handed to him. Hamil easily won rounds 1 and 2.

2. Rampage/Hendo went EXACTLY how I thought it would. Even got the bonus over at MMA Playground.

3. Cro-cop is finished. I don't think he looked too much different than he ever did, he just never really got challenged over in PRIDE. Guys in the UFC come in with airtight gameplans while over in PRIDE people just slugged it out playing to their opponents strengths. Kongo getting takedowns on Cro-cop? I'm thinking Cro-cop's legendary takedown defense isn't so legendary after all...

The first couple fights were good. I thought the Marcus Davis win was very impressive.

Yeah, I knew that was gonna be a good fight because I downloaded Taylor's last fight and he took it to the dude. Davis got rocked real bad and pulled it out.

I knew Alexander was gonna KO Sakara too, that fight was tailor made for him.

Still pissed about the Bisping fight though, he got worked.

^ yep, that was a ridic decision. I'd be so dissapointed. In a way, if that happened to me, I'd rather lose legit than like that. Knowing you won and losing is a spirit breaker.

It wasnt unanimous? I must be thinking of another fight..

It really didnt surprise me that Bisping lost the decision.

Not only that but Bisping has to know that at the very least he kinda got "beat up" and he was such a smug prick about winning. The fans were booing about something while Bisping was talking to Joe, I thought they were booing him for saying what he said. The fans gave Hamil a nice ovation after he talked to Rogan, I was happy about that.

I kinda felt the same way while watching the last fight, although the Rampage/Henderson fight was a dandy IMO.

Bisping is a cocky fuck, for a shitty fight. Hamil should have got the W.

Hamil was alot nicer then i would have been post fight. what a load of shit.

Some good fights,nothing eventful though.

Seriously. I give props to Hamill for coming out to "Born in the USA," winning the fight no question, and still keeping his cool after the decision. If Bisping can get caught with Hamill and Sinosic punches, I'd like to see him square off with someone like Drew McFedries or drop down and face off with Terry. He'll get KO'd quick. IMO.

I was thinking the same thing about the PRIDE fighters, but Rampage is actually doing good.

My prognosticating skills have taken a beating lately, but I'd still put Randy at 60/40 over Fedor right now.

UFC 75 Judge Jeff Mullen Explains Bisping-Hamill Score

UFC 75 Judge Jeff Mullen Explains Bisping-Hamill Score

Posted by MMA Junkie on September 10, 2007 at 12:14 pm ET



Longtime MMA judge Jeff Mullen, one of the two officials who scored Saturday’s UFC 75 fight between Michael Bisping and Matt Hamill as a victory for the U.K fighter, says that the angle in which he was watched the fight played a major role in his final decision.


The Bisping-Hamill fight took place Saturday at the 02 Arena in London, England. The final verdict was a controversial split-decision victory for Bisping, “The Ultimate Fighter 3” light-heavyweight winner.

Mullen, who says he first started judging UFC contests in 1996 (and has been doing it twice as long as any other current judge), recently posted a message on The Underground Forum, where he’s been a member since 2001.


Mullen argues that he had a clear view of Bisping early in the second round — a view that the television camera and the UFC broadcasters didn’t have — and that the local fighter “was landing the jab again and again and not getting hit.” Additionally, he argues that Bipsing was “using an active guard trying to turn for armbars and sweeps” in the second round while Hamill was “doing very little on top.“


Both Jeff Mullen and Cecil Peoples scored the fight 29-28 (awarding Bisping the second and third rounds) while British judge Chris Watts gave all three rounds to Hamill.


In the end, it was a controversial split-decision for Bisping.


“By
