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.
Come on man, Bisping regularly talks shit about his opponent. Now Rivera does it to him that means its ok for Bisping to spit at his coaches and throw an illegal knee? Rivera said he was mocking Bisping's fighting style etc to try and force the fight and it worked. None of the stuff I saw him say/do was that extreme, it was just run of the mill shit talk. I haven't heard about him talking about his family, if that's true then yeah that is a classless act too, and that's overstepping the mark. But really I don't see how you can say spitting at the guys corner is justified, or isn't a classless thing to do. He responded to the talking the way any fighter would want to, by going in and stopping Rivera, he should have left it there
