Sonnen earned his shot at Anderson Silva tonight in the co-main event of the UFC on FOX 2 card against Michael Bisping, but did he actually earn it?
The outcry from fans are obvious, the majority think Bisping was robbed.
UFC president Dana White took to twitter immediately following the bout, but stopped short of calling it a bad decision. “30-27 is soooooooo bad it’s insane. That judge should never be allowed to watch a fight again,” said the UFC president.
In the second fight of the FOX broadcast the brash Brit Michael Bisping took on the Oregon gangster Chael Sonnen.
Bisping was able to deliver on his promise to the fans and he gave the number two ranked middleweight, Chael Sonnen all he could handle inside the three frames of action. For the first two rounds Sonnen was unable to mount any kind of real ground assault and the few times he took Bisping down Bisping was able to quickly get back to his feet.
The two fighters kept a relentless pace throughout the entire fight, but it appeared that Bisping outpointed Sonnen in the first two frames of action using superior striking and cage control to earn the rounds.
The fight was close; the only decisive round was the third where Sonnen was able to maintain dominant position on top for almost four full minutes. But in the end much to the surprise of many Sonnen walked away with the unanimous decision victory to earn his shot at Anderson Silva’s title.
But I ask you again, Does he deserve it?

Sonnen looked like crap, either Bisping is that good or Sonnen really was that bad tonight. He has no chance against Silva in their rematch if he show up to that fight in the kind of shape he was in tonight.
No fuckin way sonnen was incredibly lucky to get that decision. Bisping had in beat easily in the second. The first was close but I thought bisping did enough to win that n the third was obv sonnen. If sonnen thinks he is gonna beat silva tho on that performance he is pissed up.
Husking won hands down. Busking wanted to bang and strike, but Charles being the nut hugger that he is came out and try to out wrestle Bisping but he got beat at his own game. Bisping ended on top showing that if the fight had continued he would have stopped Charles.
bertram is a clown. wipe silva’s jizz out of ur eyes and watch the fight again. chael won 1st rd 10-9, lost 2nd rd 10-9, and won 3rd 10-8 imo. he was moving forward entire fight pressing action, takedowns, hooks, full mount, u name it. what did bisping do besides hold chael up against the fence? hello? im waiting…
Wipe Sonnen’s cum and shit off your face and maybe you’d be able to see the fight better. “UFC president Dana White took to twitter immediately following the bout, but stopped short of calling it a bad decision. “30-27 is soooooooo bad it’s insane. That judge should never be allowed to watch a fight again,” said the UFC president.” Coming from the UFC president… Man they should hire you to judge! SOOO EDUCATED! Another idiot that thinks he knows everything there is about everything.
for all u retards that think u know more about judging a fight than, oh i dont know, actual mma judges….let me break it down for u.
takedowns: chael 4, bisping 1 (aided by chael)
total strikes: chael 135, bisping 102
significant strikes: chael 40, bisping 30
head strikes: bisping 80, chael 79
now, thank u for playing mma judge, but just go back to sitting at ur mommy’s computer and leaving uneducated comments about things u know little to nothing about.
DBKlein69 just owned you Spider cack sucks.
The only thing controversial is all this controversy bc Chael won all three rounds w/o a fkn doubt! Bis did nothing except hug Chael on the fence!
chael hugged bisping on the ground, but i guess u like missionary.
Unfortunately chael won, he controlled the match with the take downs. The clinch was about even and the standup was few and far between. Mike couldn’t mount a successful striking game from fear of the takedowns
Bisping had it 29-28. Judges are yet again delusional. Takedowns are overappreciated by the judges.
Stunning an opponent with combination punches should have more value than a takedown followed up by no significant attempts to score points by GnP or submission.
I think these judges do MMA judging on the side, next to their real jobs judging figure skating…
i heard a td is worth 3 points which if true is retarded. bisping reversed each takedown within a few seconds then controlled the octagon with his clinch work. sonnen lost even he doubted himself post fight.
agreed 100%.. I have my thoughts about the valuation of the different techniques. Could it be that the only way to get a legal status for MMA, the point system had to favor the mostly american based wrestlers?
Bisping is a bum, point blank.
Yea, everybody saw how he did against bisping, just barely sqeaked by, I cant wait to see a roid free chael take on a healthy anderson silva, gonna be an epic beatdown and sonnens fans are gonna eat there words. After silva KOs sonnen i hope he pisses on the guy right in the middle of the ring then retires on top.
u sound nervous. and u should be :)
^^^^ clearly an imposter dbklein69 :)
Hey Bisping lost, Less QQ more Pew-Pew!
