Dana said Bisping will possibly fight on the FOX 2 card, I'm calling it right now Bisping/Kennedy.

@mino you think Bisping would get finished by Jorge Santiago? Are you insane?

@jaffa, I love the idea of a Bisping vs Rumble/Vitor winner and Mayhem vs Herman, which would be a war between two guys I could see being good friends.

The Ferguson vs Edwards fight was close. The only clear round in the fight was round 1 and Tony won that. The 2nd and 3rd were close and could go either way. But I'm not at all upset with the decision. This was actually a very entertaining show.

Santiago vs someone with no punching power = Santiago domination

you know who else is said to not have punching power? nick diaz. There are one punch ko guys, and there are cummulative wear-you-down guys. Guess what kind bisping is. Both are legit strategies

updated. probably the most controversial thing here is to have rockhold at 7. and in all honesty i might be biased here and shouldn't have him so high.  but, they're my rankings.

I wouldn't even say round 1 was clearly Ferguson's. He had him hurt but Yves landed the better shots throughout. 

Please do me a favor everyone, don't forget that this was a robbery. If Yves loses his next fight people will say "he lost 3 of his last 4." That's not really the case though, he deserved the win here.

This is where I've got him after tonight.  I am a full fledged Bisping Hater, so take these with a grain of salt, but I would take every fighter I've got ahead of him, and a few I've got after him.

@mino A robbery?? It for sure wasn't a robbery.  I think everyone's pretty much concluded that round 2 and 3 were up in the air but there was no clear winner.  The fight could have gone either way, no one got robbed.

@buffalo that doesn't mean that he could ko Santiago. What I was referring to is Santiago's lack of a chin. Guys like Stann will always outstrike him because they can hurt him with every punch. Guys like Bisping won't hurt him.

@jaffa bisping has never ko'd anyone

I don't see how Ferguson/Edwards could be considered a robbery at all...it was a close fight, but I had it 29-28 El Cucuy...To say its a robbery takes away from a legit win over a solid veteran for Ferguson
