(Apparently LookOutAWhale is not a Bisping fan. Ouch.)
You want to know how close the Fertitta’s came to giving up on this zany UFC experiment? Then read this insightful article by Neil Davidson, which effectively portrays Dana White as a man with the virtues of his faults. For example, there was the time he fired the entire production crew for not doing things just how he wanted. Kind of makes sense that the same guy who built the industry leader by kicking asses and micro-managing his way to the top can also be more than a little too controlling at times.

In other news…
- If we can believe what UFC heavyweight Junior Dos Santos said to a Brazilian newspaper recently, he and Cro Cop will be getting it on at UFC 103 in September. Guess this means Lorenzo Fertitta’s supposed trip to Croatia was a success. If true, this will be a much-needed step-up in competition for Cro Cop, and another chance to play the role of the KO artist/underdog for Dos Santos, who came almost out of nowhere to beat Fabricio Werdum at UFC 90. Our advice to Junior? Don’t force Cro Cop to poke you in the eye. He hates that.
- So you say you love our Ben vs. Ben feature (say it…) but wish there was some way you could actually hear us sputtering in frustration at one another’s childish insults? Then we have great news. Starting this Friday afternoon, we’re taking our act on the radio, thanks to the visionaries at Sirius Fight Club. We’ll be arguing all the relevant topics for UFC 100 this week on Sirius satellite radio between 5-7 pm EST, so make sure to tune in. And if you have any favorite ABBA tunes that you’d like to hear, Goldstein will be taking requests. Guy has the voice of a goddamn angel.
- With the UFC 100 milestone nearly upon us, seems like everyone is taking a look back. Yahoo’s "UFC" section (guess MMA was too broad a topic?) asks fighters for some favorite memories, and SI.com gets some of the greats to weigh in on what UFC 100 means to them. But for something even more useless and self-indulgent, Cage Writer collected some favorite UFC memories from the fake journalists among us. Naturally the Molson-swilling wags at Fightlinker had to keep it far too real with their offering. Figures.

commentsI've always kind of disliked Bisping. Not because he's British, just because he's cocky, and for lack of better words just kind of a douche bag (and it should have been a loss against Hamill). And if you're upset by the video, c'mon, have a sense of humor.
Maybe its the fact that they lost that they feel the need to belittle him as none of these words of hate came up before TUF, hell even when was on TUF no one talked shit, sore losers so pathetic.
And I guess Lorenzo Fertitta would be Thurston Howell.
This would be the semi finals effectively, one step before the championship game so that should be the end of the run.
Please Hendo, shut him up for all of us. English, American, people who've never heard of MMA...
Hendo over hill, Hendo had his best fights, Hendo been in too many wars etc...
The Hamill fight was a dodgy decision but I honestly think Bisping beat Rashad on points in there fight so evens it up ?
Sweet, 3 hours of sleep for me! ...Damn you CP...
...clever move you sly fox...
Good call. The Lesnar interview actually makes him seem likable as a person!
@Darkside:
If this site sucks so bad, why are you even here?
Props to LookOutAwhale!!!! for putting this together. Brilliant job. The UFC did a great job of convincing casual fans that this guy is somehow legit by giving him NON striking b level fighters(cans) that are no longer in the UFC. He is a pretty decent fighter and that is it. IF they would treated him like they did GSP in his first 3 or 4 fights...It is most likely that Bisping would be at Strikeforce fighting cans. IF he fought the SAME fighters as people like Wilson Gouveia or Marquardt....He would LUCKY to be .500.
And now, the ONLY thing he has to do is ONE WIN over Henderson, and he is top contender. From ranked 15th to 20th MW to all of a sudden top contender??? WTF???? Cant wait until he has to face top fighters CONTINOUSLY!!!! And of all the top MW's of course the UFC gave him the easiest of ALL of them(a 38 or 39 aging star). On another subject, that is because the UFC PAID judges were there to SCORE the Henderson/Franklin fight....JUST like they were there to score the Hammill robbery.
Hat tip to LookOutAwhale......Finally someone who sees Bisping for what ihe is worth!!!!
