Bisping vs Akiyama

Just happened to watch this, decent ish scrap. The sportsmanship in the fight though was incredible, for anyone who says MMA is full of dirty, unfair fights with people being smashed while on the floor, watch this fight. Goodwill gestures throughout, so much so it seemed too friendly.

Don't watch much MMA, but that was different.

yea caught it last night myself, very good scrap, both caught each other with some cracking shots ! Bisping really got his game together in the last round with his left jab straight right combo's !

By the way the chaps name is Akiyama not Nakayama bud

I think a scrap between Bisping and Chris Leben should happen next, both having just defeated Akiyama, now that would be a good stand up scrap !

Cheers! It was pretty late when I was watching!

I think if it hadn't been for the sporting gestures between them through the whole fight, Bisping could have stopped him if he wanted to. A few times Akiyama was out on his feet and he eased off a little.

I don't think there is any need for a Bisping vs Leben rematch it would just end the same way. And for the Akiyama fight it really was a good one but you do find in a lot of MMA fights they have great respect for there opponent most of the time more so than boxing. Ive seen MMA fighters help there opponent up if they don't want to go in there guard or if they knocked them down and want to keep standing.
