Frenchie-J - Sonnen didnt do anything significant when he was on top and Bisping in the first, and Bisping control him pretty well on the fence (i guess it’s the term) so that was really really close. Actually i watched also the post fight press conference, and sonnen agreed also that the first two rounds were Bisping’s; and confess that bisping punched him so so bad in the first.Well, i think Bisping vs Munoz now for the #1 contender of the Sonnen vs Silva rematch. looking forward to it. Now Condit vs Diaz.

Hey mate,
Thanks for sending the msg :) I included the your second msg at the top of mine. anyway, i’m glad your a fan of MMA, i obviously love the sport and love talking about it with anyone who will listen :P
Well first of all, i don’t consider myself an expert either and this is just my thoughts on the fight. I know sonnen got the takedowns in the 1st and 2nd rounds but it wasn’t until the 3rd round that he was able to do anything with it. So in my opinion, they shouldn’t count for much. When bisping got taken down he was there for a very short amount of time and sonnen didn’t lock up any submission attempts or land anything significant on the ground. Like you sad, Bisping also had the majority of the control up against the cage and I haven’t checked fight metric myself, but i would imagine he landed the more significant strikes as well??
I haven’t seen the post fight press conference either, so i’ll have to check it out. I’m surprised to hear sonnen admitted he thought he lost the first 2!! that doesn’t seem like something he’d do. anyways, if Bisping keeps performing the way he has been then i guess he might end up with his title shot. I don’t see him beating silva tho. I see a really good wrestler doing that.
also… who do you think won the fight? do u think Sonnen did enough to win it?
and who’s ur pick for Condit vs Diaz? I think Diaz will take it.
