Sonnen v Bisping

I know that styles make fights but Bispings take down defense isn't exactly world class. Yes it is one of his stronger aspects but he's been taken down numerous times before and by below average fighters. He was never known for his strength either. The fight also showed IMO that Sonnen has next to no chance against Jones. If he can't handle Bisping's strength what do you think Jones would do to him?

The Maurqaurdt performance was very good but I still think Okami was a better win because no one had ever dominated him like that and Okami is a better fighter than Nate IMO. He was also quite close to being subbed against Nate.

How is it fair to Sonnen to award him a draw for a fight he clear won?

Well Sonnen's best performance of his career was also a loss.

He soundly beat Filho in the best performance of his career.

If this was his best performance of his career then it really does say a lot about his achievements. Good fighter yes, great fighter no. I predict he loses by submission AGAIN Anderson.

Do you have ANY idea how good Filho was? He was the best 185er in the world. Anderson wanted nothing to do with him.

Sonnen annihilated Filho. It was an incredible performance, and given what he did to Filho in the first fight before he left his arm hanging, it had nothing to do with Filho's state of mind. Sonnen just put a beating on him.

Wait you are claiming Filho was better than Anderson Silva? lol

Don't know what fight you are talking about because Sonnen didn't annihilate anyone. He took Filho down, who btw was talking to himself, for three rounds, hit him a little and that was it. 30-27 across the boards is not an annihilation. Filho's face was fine after as well. I have to re watch the first fight but I don't remember Sonnen doing much. Either way, Filho was in clearly no mental condition to fight going into the second fight.

Because the 1st round could really have gone either way. Bisping won the second, Sonnen won the 3rd and 1st was very close. I certainly would not have blamed the judges if Bitchping had got the decision.

Mryzyz the first round was closer than the second round. In other words Bisping won the second round more clearly than Sonnen won the first so if the first was 10-10 that doesn't necessarily mean the second was 10-10 as well. It could actually very well have been a draw.

Filho at his best would have beaten Anderson.
