No one is taking anything away from Bisping, certainly not. But we've all watched Chael enough to know there was a severe lack of aggression to his fight plan. Perhaps it's due to a lack of PED's? I also don't think Bisping was a aggressive as he could be, like the Bisping who wrecked Miller.

I also don't think what we saw yesterday night was a different Chael Sonnen from what we saw in the Stann or Silva fight. He looked extemly sharp at the weigh ins but he was coming in with the same gameplan he always has, take the opponent down, keep him there and so on.
The difference this time he faught a guy who was able to defend that one trick, this big mouth pony has....
Long stroy short kudos to Bisping hope he finally gets some more respect after this .

You didn't mention the other mistake Ben:
There was a mistake in reading the cards or how they were presented to Bruce Buffer tonight. Judge Patrick Morley, who was announced as having scored the Demian Maia vs. Chris Weidman fight 29-28 for Maia, actually scored it 30-27 for Weidman so it was a unanimous decision for Weidman and not a split decision.
In the Chael Sonnen vs. Michael Bisping fight, Judges Brad Odom and Otto Torriero gave Sonnen rounds one and three and Bisping round two. Judge Clay Goodman gave all three rounds to Bisping.

On top of that, how could they justify appointing a referee with only 15 fights officiated? Granted he was only assigned to a single fight (Big Johnson vs Beltran), but still, this is the major leagues.
