One of the reasons I like discussing the fights is that we all see it our own way and try to get each other to see things in the same light. But none of us are ever persuaded...

Keeps the discussions lively, though.

I know...but Dana and I scored it for Bisping...split decision

Dana is not always right.

In fact, like most of us, he tends to be wrong once in awhile

Fightmetric breaks it down by factual calculations. Not by casual observations.

Just saying, this fight was very open to interpretation of scoring criteria. Hence why you should try to finish a fight and not let it go to a decision.

All three judges saw it pretty much the same...can't argue with that (except for the 30-27 )

As for Fightmetric, judges don't get stats during a fight...so even if the stats show more done by Chael, Bisping IMO had the better strikes.

Bisping had crisper punches....


few of which really did any damage though....

Well going by his post fight interviews I think Chael disagrees with you.

If you read my post again you'll see I said "few".

I read it, but Chael has made the point of saying Bisping hurt him and that he wouldn't have argued if the decision went the other way.

[Vizion]

Yea, Chael did say that. He would have been wrong on my scorecard. I would have loved a Bisping/Anderson fight myself though, so in my book it would have been fine.

Bisping impressed me in that fight. Although I also had Chael winning 29-28, I wouldn't have raised an uproar if Mike had been given the decision. He did more to secure his top-10 ranking with this loss than he'd done with any of his wins, IMO.

As much as I love Chael... He did not win that fight whatsoever......
I told him so and he agreed. Michael Bisping shut the world up. Enough said.
