When a split decision comes down to Cecil Peoples' scoring, you can bet your ass the wrong guy is going to get the win.

im not an knowing the UFC judges or anything, but with all the controversy, well at least on this board, i would hope that its elsewhere also, i hope we get some answers or at least someone mentioning it in a dana, or bisping interview

i am glad that i am not the only one who belives that decision is bullshit. i mean hammill is already fighting with one handicap, who doesn't need to have another one in a biased judging

This article says that Cecil was the one that give all three rounds to Hammil.

All three judges gave the first round to Hamill, with Bisping rebounding to win the next two on the cards of Jeff Mullen and Chris Watts. Judge Cecil Peoples was the lone dissenter, awarding all three rounds to Hamill.

Well that article clearly lies as Cecil Peoples was the deciding one (as in read out last) and he gave it 29 - 28 to bisping. I was there but cant remember who gave it to Hammil, was just thinking it was a bullshit decision.

Yeah, I was pretty sure that Buffer named Peoples as the last judge who scored the bout 29-28. I could be confusing it with another fight I suppose, but I think thats how it went down.

That is exactly correct, as it was the last thing I heard before the crowd erupted - in cheers and then boos.
