  Hard to understand some of the decisions Dana makes. It does the UFC no good to bring back fighters like Millar who either are'nt good enough or don't want it enough. It makes MMA look very bad to see so called elite fighters knackered after one round. The second and third rounds were a bit of a joke joke.
  
  Bisping has a good record and has decent stand up without being the hardest striker ever. He's not at the level of the top few guys in the division though.

  Bisping is in the top level! He has excellent Muay thai, excellent take down defence, very good grappling, very good wrestling and good jujitsu.
  
  Had he not have wanted to knock miller out and paced himself better it would have finished in the first round. he knows that and said as much after!
  
  He is the most underated fighter on the rosta at the moment. He's only real, heavy defeat came against Dan Henderson who knocks out heavyweights.
  
  Bisping deserves a shot at the title, may not win but he deserves it.
  
  And i aint being a fanboy as 90% of the shit he says makes him look a fucking dick. But he is in the top 5 in his weight in the world

  yea i would also put him in the top 5 in his weight division, but it's difficult to talk about it when you have one guy who is so far ahead of everyone else in anderson silva. i know people think sonnen can take silva, i still think a fully fit silva will beat sonnen.
  
  i would also say sonnen would beat bisping too with wrestling. anyway whatever, asshole bisping won good for him, i'd honestly like to see him go up against riveira one more time and this time WITHOUT a ridiculously illegal knee that clearly changed the fight a LOT

  Silva has to fight Sonnen again as Sonnen won 4 1/2 rounds of their fight before getting caught by Silva in the last minute. I'd expect Silva to win the rematch.
  
  I was probably a bit harsh on Bisping. I'd like to see him fight any one of Maia, Belfort or Munoz and if he wins then I'd give him a title shot.

  Sonnen wins any rematch as Silva cannot wrestle! It will be more of the same, except for Sonnin getting lazy in the fifth
  
  Bisping deserve a title shot. dosent need another fight as he should have been fighting for the title instead of being a coach in the Ultimate Fighter, imho.
  
  still, would be good to see a rematch with Riveira, who actually fell onto Bispings knee! how can you call that an illegal knee? lol(tongue in cheek)!

  You'd have to imagine that Silva is bound to have worked on his wrestling since the first fight.
  
  There will be some bad blood in the Rivera V Bisping rematch as Bisping did'nt exactly behave himself in the ring after the fight. I won't comment on the "accidental" knee.

  Silva can work as long as he likes on his wrestling, makes no difference. Sonnen is a born and bred wrestler, almost world class. Silva has to knock him out before Sonnen shoots or its game over.
  
  And i did say tongue in cheek about the knee!

  lol silva will knock him out i'm telling you he said he was injured in their first fight and trust me i do not like the way silva conducts himself, i think he's a sneaky little shit, but i DO believe him when he said he was injured cuz he did not look his usual self in that fight and no that wasn't because sonnen made him that way (imo lol) i'm gonna have to eat my hat not if he loses.
  
  how amazing is it though that silva looks so awesome at his age. look at fedor, nog, cro cop, all around the same age looking old and silva still looks fresh. granted he does put people away quickly though.
  
  
  predictions for jones vs machida then? the most important fight for me there is i want nog to knock out mir like he did schaub :)

  remember his close personal trainer and camp said he wasnt injured and didnt know why he said he was.
  
  he was injured, just outclassed!

  that is weird that they would say he was i mean they not exactly doing him any favours there are they. well anyway we'll see, the word on the net is that they would face each other next summer or so - but then sonnen has to beat munoz first as well
  
  wonder if silva would have been dethroned a long time ago if there were enough decent wrestlers at MW, like if they had a couple of rashad types in their division
