    Fan of Bisping but to me he looked horrible at middle 2nite, clearly cutting too much weight but suppose he is 4 from 4 now

    Aside from being outgrappled early on why do you think Bisping looked horrible?

    that was the first time i've ever seen miller fight. tbh, he is the worst fighter i've ever seen!
    i'm not exaggerating, to me he was terrible.

    his punches were slow and when he threw one he'd lunge and put his head down. in effect he was punching blind.
    he looked very amateurish, very embarrassing.

    looked drained and seemed tired early to me, performance looked good after 1st round but mayhem was so tired I aint sure we can read too much into it. just looks like he's cutting too much imo though he is winning so i guess cant complain

    Bisping is a good fighter....but not great, he has very good technical skills and a very good defensive groundgame. But he doesn't have big power or anything to really threaten Silva and he was very humble to admit that. If he fought Sonnen he would likely be on his back all night.....the question is who's next for him? he might be the shot after Sonnen-Munoz....

    I agree, he looked like gumby I thought, but in the first round he did what he had to do and I thought he might have a chance, but he was gassed after the first round basically and it was all down hill from there.

    He was never the greatest or anything but it was his first fight in like a year and a half. At this point hes more famous for his out of the ring endeavors then in, kind of Cung Le ish.

    Correction. Bisping is well rounded, above average at everything but exceptional at nothing.

    Mayhem looked absolutely terrible. His stand up isn't amazing at the best of times, but this fight was something else.

    Bisping is starting to make a habit of pulling dirty **** during fights, I was getting shitty the ref for not pulling him up on that. Rogan pointed out the attempted headkick on the ground and there were a bunch of 12-6 elbows at the end of round 2.

    True but Mayhem kicked Bisping in the balls in round 1 and, intentional or not, got the better end of the headbutt. It was a dirty fight overall.

    Mayhem was great when he was on top... he just didn't manage to get Micky off the cage.

    Bisping out gunned him from then onwards... Simples. Miller has never been a striker.

    Miller Vs Kennedy?

    Bisping has good TD defence and is good at scrambling back to his feet. Apart from that he looks to have gone backwards. He used to have quite effectve gnp, he looked awful last night and just kept chipping away at a guy that was all but finished, I know he had to be weary of rushing in and getting subbed but ffs.

    About 5 minutes after he should have. Miller lost by exhaustion more than anything else.
