The Hamil/Bisping decision was fucking loaded and anyone with a 80+ IQ fucking knows it. Bisping lost that fucking fight without a doubt. It is very, very coincidental that Bisping, being the UKs UFC flagship fighter, just happened to pull out an impossible decision in front of the audience that the UFC is desperately trying to cement. Even MMA forums are going insane over this one and I consider that forum to be generally the most sound of opinion on the MMA world.
Anyone who watched Hamil/Bisping on the ultimate fighter and anyone that has seen Hamils first 2 fights can tell you how much Hamil has improved and absolutely deserved that decision.
Also, in interviews with Cecil Peebles & the other veteran ref, they claimed that they had a perspective that millions of viewers didn't have and judged Bisping the winner based on that. They even admitted that Mario Yamasaki made a statement saying that he thought Hamil 100% was going to take a unanimous decision.
