Shame he won. I would love to see him put in with Silva, just to see him slaughtered again.

I missed the prelim fights, did anyone see how Ross Pearson looked? I know he won a UD but I haven't seen if he looked any good. I thought he was unlucky to lose his last fight, but he'd looked pretty solid up to that point and his fights before.
Classless? what a joke. Rivera is classless making youtube videos to mock his opponent when he should have been training. Not only did he do that but i also hear he talked rubbish about Bisping's family? I would have acted exactly the same as him an i give him credit for not kicking off worse at the weigh ins and before/after the fight I'd wouldnt have finished the beating when the ref stepped in thats for sure. Bisping was right Rivera has nothing and he showed that in the fight.

For the fight on a whole i think as its Bisping's 3 straight win he deserves a number one contender fight i mean why not? People say he will get smashed but Anderson's "biggest threat" in Vitor got KO'd by the first clear strike.
As soon as Rivera called out Bisping, ole Mikey started talking shit about how Jorge's not on his level and doesn't deserve a fight with him and it'd be a step backwards to fight him.

Then Rivera started making fun of Mike's jab-and-jog style and pillow fists.

Then Bisping starts on about how Rivera's insulting his family and being a racist.

If Rivera was talking racist shit about the Count's family, he was doing it in private. I never saw it, no one I know saw it, Bisping overreacted to minor trash talk.

He shouldn't be in line for a title shot because he's progressively fighting worse competition. If he beats someone like Stann or Wanderlei, then give him a top guy a top guy (Marquardt, Maia, Okami, Sonnen, Belfort). If he beats one of them, then he clearly deserves a title shot. But as it stands now, he's lost to the only top MW he's faced (Hendo and Wanderlei), he's ranked 9 or 10 with no wins over top guys.
