STILL clutching on to that moment huh? LOL
Plenty of people have been knocked out by Hendo. :-)

I agree with Kevin Savage. Most of the time I would rather see a more technically skilled but smaller fighter than a slower heavyweight bout. I get that Bisping is trying to make hype for his fight but it does get kind of annoying that this guy is pretty much the face of UK mma for most if the world.
I see the Bisping fight ending either by Stann by KO/TKO or Bisping by Decision. Now the Flyweight fight I gotta go with Joe B Wan.
If Chael Sonnen cant keep Bisping down, Stann has no chance (in holding him down).
Interesting thing Bisping said last week at the Q&A. As soon as he started taking mma seriously, every single time he started a round of sparring he would start it from his back and work his way back toward the feet. He has been doing that for like 8 years now. I think most guys will have trouble keeping him down now. He has 'developed' it, like working on a strong and tight rubber guard. After that long its bound to be decent.
The only way i see Stann winning this fight is if Bisping drops his hands and Stann uses his power - which he has in abundance, but i think Bisping has more ways to win. Plus selfishly i want to see Bisping vs Anderson Silva on English soil before he retires - especially as Anderson has already stated he likes that fight and wants to fight in England again.
Anyway, I LOVE this fight (Bisping Stann), i cant wait. Love both guys, they are awesome competitors. :-)
I think drilling starting each round in guard and getting up is a pretty awesome strategy. Im not a huge fan of either guy, but it would be nice to see Bisping get a title shot. He has been doing pretty dam good, granted he's had a few losses but hes been pretty solid performance wise for quite a while now. Hopefully its a great fight and a great card :D
