    The pacing of this card is killing me. I've been brain washed about metro PCS, ufc 172, ufc fox 10

    Miller was sacked a while back. And I think belcher is on the verge of retirement due to injury. Open to correction on this.

    miller wasn't, he's been injured. Belcher said he was taking a break and doing BJJ instead, but not officially cut. Both are on their way out sooner than later though

    Belcher has been competing in bjj but has talked about laying off the mma indefinitely.

    Miller was definitely sacked. Apparently over some stunt he tried to pull on his walkout against CB Dolloway.

    Hoping for a first minute K.O. Due to being very tired.

    Should be an interesting fight though. Just wish the UFC weren't flooding the market with so many events lately. A two fight cards when one will do situation.

    Also after the interview with Kennedy's coach, I can see where he gets his charisma from.

    Belcher is still signed. Not sure if the eye is a factor.

    Miller fought about 12 months ago, and is still signed.

    Looks like Bisping might have his number now. If he stays calm he'll do the business here.

    Close call, poor fight.

    I'd go for Bisping 48-47 but that 4th is a decider, i just gave it to Bisping

    Hardly say he 'clearly' didn't win, like i said it was very close but how he got a 50-45 from 1 of the judges??

    yeah, Rd 1 & 3 to Kennedy in my eyes.

    Bisping clearly won Rd 2, and 4 & 5 were tight, i gave them to Bisping cos he was the more aggresive and moving forward

    He clearly did not win. Scoring heavily weighted towards takedowns so Kennedy clearly won Rnd 1,3,5 Bisping won Rnd 2 and I would give Rnd 4 to Kennedy

    Shocking scoring.

    Gutted for Bisping. Very frustrating to lose like that.

    I knew you were thinking of Mayhem. And as I said, that's the wrong guy.
    I was refer to Dan Miller.

    I was the one who brought up (Dan) Miller. I knew who I was talking about ;)

    Some questionable scoring in the Bisping fight. I had it 2-2 going into the final round and the final round going either way. Bisping definitely took the 2nd so whatever ref scored it 50-45 was watching a different fight.

    It's one of those fights where we could argue till the cows come home and not reach a conclusion. When buffer announced it as a unanimous bisping sorta pointed towards kennedy, knowing he'd lost, how long before he comes out and says he thinks he won the fight?

    To be honest I had it 4-1 to Kennedy but thought Bisping clearly won the 2nd round so how one judge had it 50-45 I don't know. Right guy still won in the end I know.

    Not a fan of Bisping but kinds felt sorry for him last night. Probably could have done with a tune-up fight first against an easier opponent after over a year out with a serious injury.

    Bisping really didn't look his usual self. A lot of ring rust methinks.

    can't remember wanting bisbing to win this bad :(

    I don't think that was one of his better performances so maybe
    the lay off was a factor
    I didn't think kennedy would have as much success getting
    bisbing down

    theodorou has a huge future ahead of him imo
    most impressive ufc debut ive seen in a while
    he appears to have it all, cant wait to see who he gets next

    I thought it was a typical bisping performance. He is always so damn hesitant evem though he is a better striker. The only difference in this fight to others that he ended up winning was that he fought a guy who could take him down and hold him there.
