The Bisping,Wandi fight was a close fight and no matter what people think of Bisping,he nearly pulled off a good win if he hadn't of lost the last minute of each rd.
I think you have to give Bisping abit of credit for that fight,unless you think Wandi is shot and just an average fighter in this division now because i'm not buying it was just a bad performance from Wandi because he has had more time to get ready for this fight than probably any fight he's had to prepare for before.I'm hoping that wandi is still relevant and we can see some great match ups with him and the top guys of the division(I'd personally like to see Nate vs Wandi at some stage)
Bisping won the first rd deffinately,I also think bisping was winning the 2nd untill the last minute,where Wandi did enough to swing the rd in his favour and then nearly pulled off the sub,you could deffinately see bisping take a deep breath and give us a "shit that was close" face just after the bell went.
The last rd was much of the same,Bisping just being a bit quicker and just doing enough without doing much to be winning the rd but then Wandi stepped it up again,probably a bit earlier than the rd before and easily started scoring with bigger shots and nearly finished Bisping but I personally would only have scored the last rd 10-9 to Wandi.
29-28 Wandi was a spot on decision.
I was hoping this fight was going to be explosive but it looked like both fighters were thinking about the judges more than trying to finish each other,but still it was an ok fight.
