Thread: UFC MANCHESTER inc spoilers

Think the UFC needs to take a look at their judges imo Vera had that fight 2 rounds to 1 and to score it 3 judges for a unanimous descion for Couture is a complete joke.

Thought Bisping was lucky after he got clipped thought the end was close but fair play for bringing it back.

Dan Hardy imo was outstanding never really gave Swick a chance and fought really well.

Ross Pearson was impressive and props to Andre Winner for the awesome ko , dont really think the two shots after it was neccesary though.

All in all not a bad UFC.:thumb

Paul Taylor was woeful.

It is great to know that a lad from the midlands is next in line for GSP though, inspires me to train even harder!

i thought bisping showed great jui jitsu and then finished off kang really well, by far his best performance so far, hardy looked good but couldve finished swick at least twice and didnt, doubt he will get that kinda opportunity against gsp.

I dont see Hardy getting past the first round with GSP though.
Great night, some great fights, some shit ones Vera/couture & Hathaway/Taylor where poor.

To be fair to Vera he pushed the pace going forward and showed a bit more aggression, definetly should have got the win

Ross Pearson looked awesome, i don't know why but i always think he looks really aggressive and violent :laugh:

Only fight i didn't see was the Couture fight, Dan Hardy done well, took some solid shots and pushed the pace most of the fight. Bisping done well to come back, thought he had lost it straight away when he got clipped in the first but pulled out a good victory. James Wilkes was the biggest disappointment of the night, He didn't want to stand and trade and gassed himself out too easily.

Matt Brown fight, nothing to say there except as expected.

Bisping shocked me, he came out absolutely blazing especially considering that Dennis Kang is a damn dangerous dude as well, I mean, look at his performances in Pride.

Well done to him, I really underestimated Bisping before the fight but damn, he really gave it some welly, good show of his BJJ too as Kang really did neutralise him when in half and full mounts.

Hardy, wicked chin and hands are solid although as Rogan had said, I didnt understand when he didnt throw down with Swick a bit more after connecting with a clean shot in the first and 2 clean shots in the second.

As for his title shot, too early as mentioned by Iceman in his spoiler thread. GSP FTW on that. I would like Hardy have 2 more fights before GSP.

Vera, absolute rubbish. Who would have known that keeping someone pressed against a stage for the fight gets the win over kicking and punching someone.

Shame for Vera, puts him back a step 1. Winning this IMO would have put him 2 steps forward in his career and his next fight if he beat couture, could have possibly been one where if he won that, would earn him a title shot.

I think bisping scared everyone but wat an amtmosphere when he finished him! I gota say I think pearsons fight wat the most impressive tho.

I worked my magic and got into the UFC, did anyone notice???

Awesome night for UK MMA.

Man what a KO by Andre.

I really like Etim i think he has a pretty bright mma career ahead of him, I was impressed.

Bisping proved his character and came out much more aggressive then I thought he would.

I really like Hardy, But I'm against him getting a title shot this early, I agree with marc I really don't think he will get past the first round with GSP

Oh and I did see the lovely Razorstorm logo flapping Thomas!

Andre's ko was something else! Very impressive

Bisping had a good night showed great skill on the ground and did really well to pull it back.

Gutted for Vera kinda makes ya think did the judges just give couture the win for the name? Probably not but the refereeing was crap!
