I couldnt have said it any better.

When I found out these two were fighter I was a bit upset as i like both of them to continue in the UFC with Unbeaten records until maybe title fights.

And of course I wanted them to have rematchs against their last oppenents as I thnk they could both beat them.
BTW Hammill lost that fight I watched it 5 times and I still think Bisping had round 2 and 3!

I can't wait to see Bisping get ktfo.

well I know this is going to be closer than you all think but I have to go with bisping he has better stand up and can submit oppenents when on his back so Bisping will win.

Is it just me, or is Bisping totally out-classed here? I think of Tito/Rashad, and try to imagine Bisping/Tito... I just can't see how Bisping can pull this off. Of course there are upsets, but I see this as a gimmie fight for Rashad. I think Bisping will come in too cocky, especially after his last fight, thinking he'll validate his decision over Hamill with this fight against Rashad.

Is there anyone here from England that isn't going for Bisping? It's like when I go to Buffalo Wildwings and all the black people are only going for the black fighters. People don't seem to care about a fighters abilities anymore, just where they are from, what color their skin is or how they act outside of the cage/ring. Just doesn't make sense to me.

I would agree that a healthy loss would help make Bisping a better fighter. With the odds as they are I would bet on Rashad, but I beleive Bisping will win with a close but correct decision.

I actually think if he knocks Rashad out he might become even less popular. I really think there are a lot of people that just want to see him lose.

I dont really think that liking a fighter because of his background or out of the ring behavior is all that bad, it allows the fan to associate themselves with the fighter and therefore creates a closer connection (at least in the fans eyes). Although what i do think is stupid is when people feel they HAVE to support a fighter because of where they are from and so on.

just my opinion
