UFC 127 - who's tuning in?

[Snakey]

Bisping is completely classless. When I watched the preview show he was dismissing Rivera's right hand. He said he couldn't give a shit about his big right hand. It made me think "you should give a shit, last time you fought someone and ignored their big right hand you got KTFO'd". Then his illegal knees, spitting at the coaches...just a classless individual. 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.

He made a video saying that all koalas have chlamydia and then insinuated that bispings girlfriend has it...Rivera deserved what he got.

All the aussies got behind bisping for this fight since we found out his gf is an aussie lol

As I said, I never saw or heard of that video. But if that's true, Rivera deserved what he got, Bisping was completely justified getting in his face post fight. I don't spitting at Rivera's cornermen was ok, but I guess they had a hand in the video as well.

Could you post it, or a link to it?

I'm not condoning what Bisping did- as a matter of fact I have been a primary detractor from Bisping in many instances, but I really do feel that Rivera instigated and fueled this entire situation.

I got no issue with pre-fight trash talking. I really don't pay much attention to it but to me when the fight is over and you've got the victory show some class. If you really think the guy is a dirtbag then just ignore him. You've won for crying out loud do you really need to act like a teenager to feel better about it?

Word has it that now Sonnens suspension is up, then a fight with Bisping and him is on the cards! Mike will struggle with takedown defence, but his BJJ is of a good standard and underated imo. Bisping hangs with Chael in standup without a doubt, it's just the groundwork that will trouble Mike if this fight happens.

I would see this fight being the next big card to hit the UK, alternatively he beats Sonnen stateside then, gets a title shot against Silva in the UK.
