I think the fight could have gone either way, but Bisping's stock is higher now and Sonnen's is lower.

I thought 30-27 Sonnen was BS though.
29-28 Sonnen (1st/3rd round) was the correct score for the match. Sonnen was dominant in the first half of the first round and I'd consider the second half of the first round almost neutral.
It's just that Sonnen underperformed and Bisping exceeded expectations and Joe Rogan's commentary that caused people to think that Bisping was robbed.

Though I have to say I was supper bummed. I wanted bisping to win so Silva can KTFO him and Sonnen to loose so Palhares can rip his leg off.

Although disappointed for Mike I think this fight has done a lot to stop all of the detractors from calling out his skills.
In my opinion though if someone wants the fight on the ground and scores from getting a takedown, the same score should be awarded to a grounded fighter that gets back up onto his feet.

Bisping's stock certainly went way up with this performance, and that's the biggest story coming out of the fight.
Contrary to what many are saying, Sonnen's stock didn't go down in my book just because he failed to dominate a heavy underdog. IMO, this was more a case of Bisping being much improved than Sonnen having a poor performance. I think Sonnen is just as good as he has been over the last three years, but Bisping is looking better than ever and I fully expect him to challenge for the title by the end of the year or early next year.
