Phil Davis weighed in wearing his Penn State singlet for tonight's fight. Very cool!

Not a UFC guy...but is Chael Sonnen a huge tool or is that just his act?

Fuck Bisping.

Sonnen just gave one of my favorite post fight interview's ever.

I don't follow this sport either, but I am enjoying this on Fox tonight.

Phil Davis does not look good, IMO. Very slow

No, it definitely needs to die. And if a bill isn't logical or perfect, you DON'T support it, point blank.

I believe Bisping won the fight but I'd rather watch Sonnen/Spider II so I'm alright with it.

I was hoping Davis would beat Rashad only because I give Hendo more of a chance to beat Bones.

Rashad Evans is a ****, but I'm kinda glad he won, so now Bones will demolish him

Are fighters allowed to wear some sort of foot cover? Not making excuses for Phil but he was slipping and sliding a lot during that fight.
Not a benefit being light on your feet if slipping every step.

Hope Phil continues to work at his MMA.

I know that Sonnen hadn't been training for Bisping for a that long but he sure didn't prove he was the best in the world last night.

If their was a stalling or backing up type of call in MMA, Bisping would have been DQ'ed.
Not a fan of his defense but keeping his back against the fence worked.

There was in Pride, yellow cards for stalling. We will never see the athletic commissions sign off on something like that in the states though.

Just watched the fights. I'm glad they were free and I had Bisping winning too. He stopped Sonnens game enough and scored enough power blows to take the decision.

The bisping fight just goes back to the what's worth more a takedown or a landed punch ring control or damage delt

Main card was pretty meh, was expecting more out of Chael. I had him winning 2-1, but Bisping looked good when he was holding the cage and hitting Sonnen in the back of the head. I was glad Evans won so we can finally see him and Jones go at it.

Looking forward to Saturday to see Diaz beat Condit's ass!

That a boy, love the avatar and love to see you join the Diaz fan clan. I honestly think this could be fight of the year and one of the best ever if it plays out like I see it playing out in my head.

Yea but Sonnen didnt land shit on the ground. I think a takedown is worth more if you advance position and do damage if you take him down and lay its nothing to me.
REPS to Crosby for avatar. Nnnnniiiiicccckkkk Dddddiiiiiiaaaaazzzzz

I had Bisping winning that fight 2-1 but I'm glad the judges saw it the other way. I despise Bisping. Sonnen better come out much better against Silva though. I have a feeling that Silva is going to try and prove a point against Sonnen and it might get ugly for Chael.

The card sucked IMO. I had trouble keeping it on Fox. The Evans - Davis fight sucked as well and Evans better get much better before April or Jones will destroy him.

I think Jones is gonna stomp a mudhole in Evans ass anyways.

And If Sonnen has trouble with Bisping's striking...Silva is gonna tattoo him
