    I don't know about the scoring on this one ... Bisping was on the retreat almost the whole fight. They must have given Bisping the second round because Hamill obviously won the first.

    for sure hamill won the first. so the second round is the one in question i guess. a bit of a stretch to think bisping won the second, i thought.

    There needs to be a rematch fight between Hamill and Bisping. It really could have been scored for either fighter; neither one won definitively. I'm happy that Bisping got the split decision, but would have liked to see more aggression on his part.

    Where is CEG tonight?? I guess I'm gonna have to be girly without her .... GSP was looking HOT tonight. And Henderson isn't bad either ;)

    What a GREAT first round!! Lots of action and changes in control. Both fighters look fantastic! :D

    I would love to see four more rounds of this!

    i'd agree a rematch should be in order.

    good first round in the title fight. a couple of crazy exchanges and changes in position, but mostly just control in the clinch by dan.

    both guys are throwing bombs in the exchanges on the feet. both looking tough on the ground too. good three rounds so far...tough to tell who is ahead...

    WOW ... I am highly impressed with both fighters. :):D Close, close match. I think round one and two to Henderson, round three and four to Rampage.

    i'm inclined to agree. a couple of rounds were pretty close to call. great fifth round to finish the fight.

    Great, great fight!!! I'm surprised it went the distance. Both guys looked gassed in the fifth. Lots of fantastic exchanges on the feet throughout. I think Rampage will get the decision, 48-47.

    Think we'll get to see an undercard match since there is still time left in the broadcast?

    Dude, Rampage cracks me up! :p

    definitely a grueling fight for sure. i'm surprised it went the distance too. great way to end an exciting show. rampage is the first undisputed champion at 205. good on him, as it looks like his training has paid off. he looks really improved and is going to be tough to beat.

    so does dan go immediately to fighting the winner of rich franklin vs. anderson silva for the MW title unification?

    One of the better events in recent history, even though we didn't get to see any undercard matches. I'm not a huge fan of fights going to decision, but we got to see a five round war with Hendo and Rampage. :D I ended up 6/9 on my picks. :(

    Oh, don't tease me with that one!!!

    I agree with Randy that Hendo would probably be more successful at middleweight, but he had a pretty strong showing at light heavyweight, so it's not an easy choice.

    6 for 9 is good! :) better than 2 for 9, that's for sure. ;)

    yep, i'm pretty pleased with that show. good to see an event like that on free tv.

    LMAO!!! :D

    I was actually pretty surprised with that one metsy. Mookie and I were saying there needs to be a rematch since neither fighter clearly won.

    yeah there most def needs to be a re-match, fight was to close to call. getting free ppv event is always better when its a good card. the new season of TUF looks good

    Remember that you're talking to a type-A here, so 6 for 9 is just an okay performance on my part ;)

    true enough. he has a lot of experience fighting bigger guys and does well at LHW. dan will probably have the choice, but eventually i'm sure they'll ask him to drop to MW to unify the titles. dan lost the decision, but it was a tough and close fight so he'd probabaly still be in a good frame of mind to go at MW if they want to do it in the near future.
