Hey guys, who's tuning in to UFC 127? I'm STOKED to watch Penn!! How about you?

**Captain America** · 02-26-2011 01:22 AM

I'm excited for it! Penn vs Fitch is the most intriguing match up the UFC's had in a long time.

Im doing one better than tuning in, im going to be there live !!! Im in the section just after ringside so it should be fuckin awesome.

Some surprising results so far...Didn't see Lytle and George losing in their respective fights.

**VictorCharlie** · 02-27-2011 05:39 AM

Bisping...ever the good sportsman and class act.

**OumaFan** · 02-27-2011 05:43 AM

Anderson Silva-Michael Bisping.

In England.

Please. Do it.

Hey man, that's awesome!! What did you think of the fight??

George got dropped hard in that first round. Could hear the punches land from where I was sitting even with the background noise. Siver was just too strong and over powered him.

**VictorCharlie** · 02-27-2011 10:08 AM

There is no question in my mind that George is the more talented fighter...I don't think he game planned that fight or adjusted during it very well.

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.

Pearson looked real good. Fisher had some moments, particularly in the 1st round but Ross made some great adjustments to take control of the stand up.

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.

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
