HOLY ****IN ****, DID I JUST WAKE UP IN AN ALTERNATE UNIVERSE ?
MICHAEL BISPING DEFEATS ANDERSON ****ING SILVA ??????
Sorry, had to let that out. But really WTF ? Man, it was a busy weekend, and I didn't get near a TV due to work commitments, but holy crap !
I've always liked Bisping, as a guy who could strike, talk trash but was always gracious and classy in victory or defeat and always respected the fans.
While I'm really glad for him to defeat such an opponent in his home country, I'm still in shock.
Mind you, you have to give MB a lot of props for simply lasting the whole fight and not succumbing to a sneaky submission (yes, I'm thinking of you Chael Sonnen) or getting KO'ed by repeated Silva strikes ( sorry Rich Franklin, that's you brother). I mean the fact he endured what Silva threw out and was still standing at the end says a lot (although it also says that Silva is not nearly the fighter he was even three years ago, when he fought Weidman the first time, and lost due to a good old mix of pride and karma)
Wow ! What's next ? Don't you just love UFC ?
Oh, and having English fighters do well can only be good for the sport as a whole !
