Let's get this party started. It was pretty hard not to look at any spoilers but I'm amped for the fights now.

I loved Rogan calling out the crowd for booing during the Jardine/Vera match. "That's what happens when people start drinking." Pretty funny to me

After watching Bisping win yet again.. does anyone else think that if he fought a top 10 middleweight, he would get destroyed?

i would also think bisbing would get destroyed by a top 5 fighter, I was more impressed that leban did not complain about the fight or the decision. I was waiting for a diaz like rampage, never happened good for chris.

Bisping isnt a great fighter, but he did make Leben look terrible even though Leben probably looked the best he has in awhile. I think Bisping, if he doesn't end up against Hendo or Franklin for the next TUF, should fight Nate.

Got agree with Qball, I think some people are underrating Bisbing a little. I think you could stick him in the top 6-10 in the UFC middleweights. I also would have given a slight advantage to Bisbing in the Evans fight.
