Well I have a lot more respect for Bisping. I really think he can make a run for the title now. I can't even think of who he should fight next other then Silva.
I was confused. Was this supposed to be an MMA fight? All I saw was a guy running around in circles and another one chasing him around. Where I'm from we call this a marathon or even a mugging. But apparently it's a an NMA fight in ye olde ingerlund.
LOl. "NMA" was a typo, but I guess its appropriate "no martial arts".

If you had to fight someone with an iron hand and chin, would you want to get into a punching contest with him to see who falls first? Bisping stayed active enough as well, landing pretty clean shots.
Bisping definitely didn't want to stand and bang with Leben, but I think that shows big time respect for Leben's power. Why stand and bang with a man whom you know will likely take you out when you can dance around him and pick him apart every time he comes in for a shot? That said, I was cheering for Leben. He's definitely matured, and it's hard not to like the guy. Bisping, however, was just too light on his feet, tonight. Still, it wasn't the one sided domination that I'm seeing on some sites. Leben's face was a little worse for wear, but I don't think Bisping made a fool out of him by any means. Entertaining fight. Bisping silenced a few critics, and Leben showed heart and maturity that most young fighters don't have. Props to both.
Great post
Yeah it seemed like Bisping deff had the right gameplan kind of seemed to want to fight it much like florian fought Huerta. However it seemed like Bisping wasn't quite as effective as Florian was (Bisping seemed to be running away half the time). A few times i thought Bisping could have been a little more aggressive and thrown some combo's. i also thought it was a fairly close fight, but Bisping won.
Overal i thought Bisping had a great gameplan, but at times he was just avoiding all contact rather then countering it.
Yeah it's good to see Leben has grown up and got his life in check. At the end i was actually kind of worried he might have been attacking Bisping, but instead he congratulated him. Really showed maturity.
My goodness people, use spoiler tags. Your not in the official thread and some people might of had to work tonight and couldn't watch this until the midnight showing
some people PM'd me saying they couldn't watch it till the later show. We posted a link saying use spoiler tags so they weren't expecting to see spoilers. Just trying to help them out. This event is weird because of the tape delay thing. I'd say wait atleast till the next day just in case to be considerate to the ones who worked late. Use the official thread just in case.

If Bisping didn't do anything then why did Leben's face look like someone shoved it into a wood chipper?
