I am completely fucking sick of Mike Goldberg. That guy is a fucking joke and just needs to leave commentating. I can't stand Rogan sounding like a crying rat buy atleast he knows what the hell he is talking about.

Bisbing came out like a rock star before the fight. Talking with the audience, laughing it up. What a fucking clown. I used to like this guy but what a god damn tool. I hope he fucking loses.

I did get lucky and won my bet for the 3 fights going over 1 round.. 15 for 95 bucks.. yay.

Spoiler Alert, click show to read:
I got home during round 3 of Crocop's fight, so I only saw from there and read the play-by-play.

1. So many people are talking about how Crocop is done, and how he was so passive, and how he has no heart... These are the exact same things they were saying about Crocop a year ago. He lost a tough fight against Fedor. He and Barnett put on a shitty fight, and then he lost decisively to Hunt. The internets was flooded with talk of Crocop being done, having no heart, and being overhyped... yada, yada.

This is how Crocop is, you consistently put the pressure on him (like Fedor and Hunt did, or like a lazy Barnett was trying to do in their second fight) and you'll beat him. Crocop has always lost motivation in fights when things aren't going his way. If he still really wants to keep fighting, throw him a can (hey, Minowa should be free again). Look what happened last time; he loses some fights, looks like shit, beats up poor Minowa Man and then proceeds to thoroughly rape everyone in front of him to win his first MMA title.

2. I never was impressed with Hammil. I barely ever watch TUF, and usually when I do I only watch the fight at the end. Saw Hammill fight once on the show and wrote him off. Even with my indifference toward him, I can't figure out how the hell he didn't get that decision.

3. Rampage vs. Henderson was just like Rampage vs. Lindland to me. Very close fight, very good battle (although probably not great for the new fans), and a last minute win for Rampage. I saw rounds 1 and 2 as going to Hendo while 3 and 4 went to Rampage. If Henderson won round 5 he would have won, and he looked close to doing that, but just like with Lindland, Rampage was able to turn things around and clearly win the last round in the final minute.

Should be fun to see Henderson at 185 now, plus Shogun and W. Silva are probably creaming themselves at a chance to fight Rampage for the title.

I was really shocked by the Bisping decision as well. And the way he talked after the fight, as if he totally dominated. I used to be a fan of his, but he is an arrogant prick. No way he deserved that win.

Cro-Cop was quite a disappointment. He got pushed around pretty much from the start, and was never really in the fight. I see him fighting in one more fight to fulfill his contract, and then he will be done.

Henderson and Rampage was pretty good. I was disappointed that Henderson didn't seem nearly as aggressive as he was in his fight with Silva. Interested to see who will be next for Rampage.

I won't complain since it was a free show. The fights overall were kind of boring to me.

I thought it was classless of Bisping to tell Hamill to go back to wrestling when its obvious he got a hometown decision.

Crocop was so passive in that yawn fest.

Henderson/Jackson was a good fight. I knew it would go to decision as both these guys have chins of steel. I really like both fighters so I was a little on the fence as to who I wanted to win. Ended up pulling for Henderson as the fight went on. (I think he'll be great as a MW in UFC)

I am still so fucking pissed about that decision. Its almost like they chose drunken locals for the judges. And whats funny about that is I am pretty sure I heard booing when Bisping was talking and more cheering when Hamil was up there, which is hilarious for it being London.

Let's see, as Mike Goldberg explains it, the scoring system is based on effective striking, grappling, aggression, and octagon control right? Look at their faces after the fight and you can see who had more effective striking. Grappling? Please, Hamil could take him down at will. Aggression - besides the last half of the last round, Bisping was not aggressive. Octagon control? Hamil was chasing him the whole time. I was laughing early in the fight cuz Bis looked like a noob, he ran away 2 times, landed flat on his ass a few times after getting bowled over, etc. So in the 4 categories, which one would they possibly score Bisping as winning and in which round?? Cecil Peoples can suck my fucking balls. That guy needs to be shitcanned.

And yes, Crocop needs to retire, or go back to K-1.

I know everyone's pissed about the Bisping win, but I don't think it's such an upset. Hamil dominated the first round, started losing steam in the second, and lost the third. I'd have probably given the second to Hamil, but I really think it could have gone either way. The hometown advantage definitely played into the decision, but it's not that bad.

Obviously it was a three-round fight, but who do you think would have won a hypothetical fourth? Hamil was gassed and Bisping was still ready to go.

Good news is, with all this bitching and complaining, I'm sure Hamil will be back.

I don't blame Cro Cop for losing after being kneed in the nuts THREE TIMES. I'm pretty sure I'd lose my will to live at that point.

Thats a lame excuse. If his opponent doenst run away, Cro Cop doesnt seem to know what to do.
