Hey guys, who's tuning in to UFC 127? I'm STOKED to watch Penn!! How about you?

I'm excited for it! Penn vs Fitch is the most intriguing match up the UFC's had in a long time.

Im doing one better than tuning in, im going to be there live !!! Im in the section just after ringside so it should be fuckin awesome.

Some surprising results so far...Didn't see Lytle and George losing in their respective fights.

**VictorCharlie** · 02-27-2011 05:39 AM

Bisping...ever the good sportsman and class act.

Anderson Silva-Michael Bisping.

In England.

Please. Do it.

**VictorCharlie** · 02-27-2011 05:45 AM

Your kidding right? Bisping would just get iced in the first round like the last time he stepped up to the elite level.

**OumaFan** · 02-27-2011 05:46 AM

That's the point. Do it in his hometown. For the embarrassment factor.

George got dropped hard in that first round. Could hear the punches land from where I was sitting even with the background noise. Siver was just too strong and over powered him.

**VictorCharlie** · 02-27-2011 10:08 AM

There is no question in my mind that George is the more talented fighter...I don't think he game planned that fight or adjusted during it very well.

Bisping is completely classless. When I watched the preview show he was dismissing Rivera's right hand. He said he couldn't give a shit about his big right hand. It made me think "you should give a shit, last time you fought someone and ignored their big right hand you got KTFO'd". Then his illegal knees, spitting at the coaches...just a classless individual. Shame he won. I would love to see him put in with Silva, just to see him slaughtered again.

I missed the prelim fights, did anyone see how Ross Pearson looked? I know he won a UD but I haven't seen if he looked any good. I thought he was unlucky to lose his last fight, but he'd looked pretty solid up to that point and his fights before.

Pearson looked real good. Fisher had some moments, particularly in the 1st round but Ross made some great adjustments to take control of the stand up.

Classless? what a joke. Rivera is classless making youtube videos to mock his opponent when he should have been training. Not only did he do that but i also hear he talked rubbish about Bisping's family? I would have acted exactly the same as him an i give him credit for not kicking off worse at the weigh ins and before/after the fight I'd wouldnt have finished the beating when the ref stepped in thats for sure. Bisping was right Rivera has nothing and he showed that in the fight.

For the fight on a whole i think as its Bisping's 3 straight win he deserves a number one contender fight i mean why not? People say he will get smashed but Anderson's "biggest threat" in Vitor got KO'd by the first clear strike.

I think Bisping is well deserving of the shot i mean Vitor, Andersons "Biggest threat" was finished by the first cleanly landed shot. So why not? I think he'd last longer than that. And I'd say he is in the elite level being the UFC every fighter is pretty elite.

I'd say losing a split decision to Rashad Evans who is an elite fighter isn't getting iced neither is losing a decision to Wanderlei Silva. Hamill just beat Tito possibly one of the best light heavyweights and he lost to Bisping. Leben? Akiyama?

Is it because he's English? I didn't like the guys at first and i wanted Hendo to KO him but you can't deny that Bisping is a great technical fighter and he is putting together some good wins i thought the loss to Wanderlei was controversial. If he wins another fight he has earned that title shot. Give respect where it is due.
