Impressed with Michael Bisping

I think we have a lot to look forward to =).

Still, Bisping makes for a tough matchup for any BJJ guy I think, he has not been submitted in the UFC. I think you'd have to omoplata him =)

at least aoki didnt gas though. i think miller just had an adrenaline dump and was way too nervous for his UFC return. Not looking good when Dana says "im not sure" if he will be back

I like the fact that Bisping said he wouldn't be any match for Silva right now. But otherwise, like others have said, he wasn't impressive in the fight.

he didn't cut all that much only 5 pounds, you can watch his fight journal on mma fighting for the fight. theres 3 episodes, heres the one where he cuts. http://www.mmafighting.com/2011/12/0...ournal-part-3/ he looks pretty good though. must have been sick or just pure nerves, but i agree in general hes just really average and not as good as people think

Bisping did well in the first round to keep himself safe on the ground, but Miller seriously let himself down after. His stand up just isn't good enough for MMA.

I didn't understand why he was just laying there, like he was already needing to recover. Something definitely went wrong during camp or his nerves got the better of him as he walked into that cage because it definitely was not the same Mayhem that fought Jake Shields. Let him get his shit together, put together a good, JJ emphasized game plan and see what a focused Mayhem can pull off, I think he's very talented, just too distracted that night.

Do you like or ever utilize that mount he was using? I have yet to.

are you kidding me? he went the distance with jacare and jake sheilds, arguably two of the best grapplers in mma. miller's a great fighter. He had a bad night. It happens to everyone.
