Jesus, you could have at least used lube Farmer.

I'm super interested in this fight, I think as overall fighters these guys are pretty close to even. I think it's gonna be a great fight. But if I had to chose I'd say Bisping is gonna win

Mayhem sounds extremely confident that he's going to wreck Bisping in this fight. Moreso than even the usual fighter prefight cockiness that you hear

I see dramatic diving has invaded the NFL

Both have been pretty cocky about this fight. Seems like both guys don't think very highly of the other. I think they are pretty genuine with those feelings. Neither guy feels the other one is a top 10 MW and I think both guys said that a win here doesn't put them close to a title shot because it's not elite competition. Neither guy is very impressed by the other.

Time to keep the streak alive, that karma goes to Miller. I don't like either guy, they can both die for all I care. But Miller will win this fight with his superior grappling. Bisping doesn't have the power to hurt Miller and he doesn't have the ground game to control where the fight takes place.

And OU's Nostradamus streak comes to an end

Mayhem was gassed a minute into round 2. Pathetic!

I hope Mayhem, but Bisping has shone an ability to keep a fight standing, while Mayhem is not a great takedown guy.

Think this fight stays on the feet, and I think Bisping has the adv there.

Karma torch is now mine.

it's hilarious watching otherwise knowledgeable people completely lose the plot when it comes to fighters they love or hate too much.

i'm not a huge bisping fan even coming from the UK but american fans seem to pointblank refuse to acknowledge he's a very, very good fighter in spite of overwhelming evidence

I wouldn't say he's a very very good fighter. He's mediocre, barely top 10 in a weak division, and has been given a specific type of opponent for a long time now to ensure he keeps winning most of the time. Grapplers with average takedowns and or average striking but not a whole lot of knockout power. I'm not going to take anything away from Bisping tonight since I won money on him but I have to believe if Mayhem's tank hadn't gone down to E after the first round, where he didn't have to do a whole lot as opposed to his usual pace, he may have won the fight. If he could have gotten a takedown once a round and held Bisping long enough to pass like he did the first time away from the cage it would have been a bad night for Michael.

He's very very good?

Who has he beat again? Miller, Riveria, Leben, & more fighters that level. He couldn't even beat a way past his prime Wand. He was completely outclassed when he fought someone ranked in the top 10, Hendo.

Beat Sonnen, Munoz, Belfort, or something like that and someone will take notice.

was he completely outclassed in the henderson fight?

or did he just get sparked out by a solitary bomb?

should be sonnen, munoz or belfort next so we won't have to wait all that long.

As I remember he was getting ragdolled in the clinch pretty frequently prior to the bomb.

Still not going to give Bisping credit. It wasn't that he looked so impressive, it was that Miller looked so shitty. Dana has every right to question Miller's future in the UFC. I agree with him it was one of the worst performances I have seen in the octagon. Miller seems to be little more then a personality at this point.
