UFC 75 Hamill Bisping Rigged?

Question

UFC 75 (Viva Las Vegas)

Hamill Bisping UFC 75

This is the most BS fight I have ever witnessed, I'm pretty sure HULK HOGAN vs. ANDRE THE GIANT was more legit.... Obviously somebody was giving out h*nd j*bs in the British judge's lockeroom before the match (Joe Rogan), because their minds were someplace else - but not in this fight.

Quite clear Hamill won!!!!!

I know Dana is desperate to have the British subjects in his audience, but there is something to be said about subtlety!!

DANA gained all of five fans in Britain but lost 1000's in America…

I watched the UFC because I believed it was not rigged like the BS PRIDE and Don King boxing.

At this point I'm sure of one of two things; either VEGAS had some money on the fight, or equally likely, Rogan gives fantastic h*nd j*bs . ROGAN did not call out this cr*p, and Randy, where were you?!! p.s. Rogan, you're a F*AG.

Q. Jackson already admitted PRIDE management tried to pay him.... looks like some PRIDE m

Answer 1

Yahoo just removed another question about the Bisping fight so obviously the fix is in here I think. I will put my two cents in here that I was doing when they removed the other question about the Bisping decision.

Hamill dominated the first two rounds. Bisping was only aggressive the first thirty seconds of the first round and after that Hamill pressed the attack and took him down several times in the first two rounds. I did not see Bisping take Hamill down except for once. Also Hamill hurt Bisping several times and in several clinches battered him pretty good. At one point Bisping scooted halfway across the ring on his butt to get back away from Hamill. That's hardly the action of an aggressive, active fighter who is pressing the attack.

While you can make an argument for Bisping winning the third round how does a fighter barley win one round of a three round fight and win the fight. Home town judging is how. If the UFC wants to separate itself from boxing and some of the bad judging and black eyes that they have then they need to step in and take a look at the fight and evaluate it and the judging. If they don't they are sending a message that they don't care and are no better of an organization than those that dominate boxing and screw the fighters for the sake of money and television viewing and advertising dollars.

Answer 2

I'm not American or British so from a completely objective point of view this Hamill Bisping fight was completely rigged. Like everyone who saw the fight, the first two rounds were clearly Hamill's. He just completely dominated Bisping, and the only way for Bisping to come back was to knock him out in the third round. But he never did... and somehow he won the fight after losing 2 rounds out of 3. My friends and I are disgusted... we were so shocked that we couldn't even watch the the Quinton fight. Right away I went on my laptop to see if we were the only ones who thought the fight was rigged and low and behold posts all over MMA boards are claiming the fight was rigged. It's funny because before the first fight started my friends girlfriend asked if UFC was rigged like boxing and we all told her that we never seen a rigged fight and it's nothing like boxing. Then what happens... this happens... I really couldn't believe it. This is the only fight I've ever seen rigged and isn't it a coincedence it's a British fighter, fighting on British soil. Hamill was robbed, he simply dominated his opponent. What can we do to show our dissaproval with UFC? What is Dana White's mailing adress. I've been addicted to the UFC for roughly 3 years now and this is the first fight I've seen that's rigged. But I won't STAND FOR IT!!! He was completely robbed... I want the UFC to do something about this... to show that they are better than this. Frankly, I'm disgusted and in protest I'm not buying any PPV UFC events until Dana White corrects this situation and awards the decision to Hamill.

Answer 3

Yes. This was shameful. Hamill, the underdog, came out and dominated the stand up. Bisping was suposed to have had superior striking skills, but Hamill clearly and suprisingly bested him here. The first round clearly went to Hamill who landed the cleaner strikes, controlled the clinch, controlled the octagon, and could take Bisping down at will. The first round is a no brain 10-9 Hamill.

The second round was a bit slower pace and maybe a bit more even. Hamill again though controlled the clinch and took Bisping down at will. Bisping laned a few punches of his own, but Hamill had him backing up the entire round. Bisping scored no takedowns and was unable to prevent himslef from being taken down. Another easy round to score 10-9 Hamill. One could say this round is even, but that is a stretch.
The third round Bisping comes out with a bit mor energy and confidence. Hamill though at least matches anything Bisping throws at him, so maybe you can call the striking even. However, again Hamill controls the clench, presses foward and takes Bisping down at will. Bisping manached to stop one takedown if i beleive. This match was easily 10-9 Hamill.
Only one judge scored it how i did. 30-27 Hamill. I think clearly the judges were encourage to give Bisping the win. He is much more suited to be a celebrity in MMA than Hamill is. He is the MMA star of the UK and i think the UFC sees a great future for him, and one that can be lucrative for them. Hamill is not as popular and sadly his handicap does not make him the most colorful personality in MMA, and shamefully, the UFC has determined that recruiting more fans in the UK and letting the more popular fighter win is more imporant that honoring the success of a less colorful fighter. I felt very let down by the results personally. It was embarassing.

Answer 4

I agree, I was shocked when they announced Bisping the winner. The problem with fighting a guy in his area is that you need to win decisively, and I thought Hamill had clearly done that. Me and my wife were both very disappointed in that terrible decision and it reminded me of a lot of the horrible decisions in boxing. If the UFC doesn't want a reputation like boxing, then they shouldn't let these decisions happen. Hamill was the better stand up fighter and clearly the better fighter on the ground.

Answer 5

Oh MAN!!! I'm so glad to see others agree with the stupid decision!!! I was SICK to my stomach and wanted to freakin' vomit after I saw that decision. It goes to show that you NEVER want to let a fight go to decision or some crap like this could happen!
It was just awful!

It has NOTHING to do with Americans not thinking that someone outside of America ever has a chance to win (to the complete MORON that said that!)!!! Watch the fight, listen to the crowd, they are Brits and were naturally rooting for their man Bisping (who I LOVE-D BTW!) so it was all cheers until the fake **** decision was announced they were even BOOing because they KNEW it was a WRONG decision!!!

I went into this fight favoring Bisping, even though I'm also a Matt Hamill fan. I love Bisping and think he's a GREAT fighter, I've been following him & have watched all his fights on UFC. When I heard he was fighting Hamill I was crushed because, like I said, I like Hamill too. It was like Rampage v Henderson - I just LOVE them both and was so torn on who to root for.

As the Bisping v Hamill fight got under way - I found myself rooting for Bisping even more screaming at the tele saying what the crap are you doing FIGHT MAN!!! He did terrible was throwing wild punches that never made contact. Hamill was walking him down the entire time, he dominated the cage, it was almost like Bisping was running from him a couple times. I'm no judge but I rewound & watched the fight 2 more times, scoring all the take-downs & strikes. On paper, going by the score card, Matt Hamill won that fight.

This is coming from someone who is a HUGE Bisping fan and really wanted him to win. You can see the shock on Bisping's face - he knew he didn't win!

I'd really like to hear from a Brit who will admit, along with the BOOers, that the wrong decision was made in this fight.

I'm so glad to know that I'm not the only one who thinks Joe Rogan would hold one 'til the swelling went down!HeHe!!!

Answer 6

I'm British and was at the O2 arena to watch one of my favourite fighters - Michael Bisping. I knew this was going to be a tough fight for him but the performance he put on was piss poor. It was embarassing to watch him run around the octagon trying to avoid Hammil. Where was the aggression and confidence that he's demonstrated on previous occassion's?

Hammil won that fight fair and square. As far as I'm concerned he won every round. He took Bisping down in all three rounds, he pushed the pace, and he was the more aggressive fighter. He controlled the fight from start to finish and Bisping's face looked pretty mashed afterwards.

I'm totally disgusted with the result. There was no way it was a split decision. The judges must have been paid hefty sums of cash by Dana f*ckin White. I don't think its a case of 'British judges so British winner'. I think the fight was rigged from the start. I'm even more gutted about Bisping's comments afterwards.

UFC and Bisping have just lost my respect!

Answer 7

Hit that right on the money. Grew to hate boxing for all the rigged fights. Loved the OLD ufc - tapped out or knocked out.

Disgusted in the fixed scoring and have to to say I'm disgusted with the announcers including Randy Couture for not saying more about it. At least in boxing the HBO announcers admitted : "you never know what a judge is going to do"
That one fight has the potential to flush the ufc down the toilet. Take a look as Bisping after the fight, read his lips. he knew he lost the fight. Lost all three rounds. MMA is one thing now, SUSPECT.

Answer 8

I'm an American. I've enjoyed Bisping's performances in the past, and I expected him to win this fight -- legitimately -- even though Matt Hamill showed dramatic improvement in his last fight. However, this travesty of judging tainted the whole night of fighting. It was like an IFL fight or a boxing match -- the obvious winner was the loser.

I disagree with comparing this decision to other controversial UFC decisions. I may have disagreed with other decisions, but they weren't as close to being as unfair and wrong as this decision. This was obviously either hometown judging or a fixed fight. Either way, the UFC better do something about it or risk losing all the pay per view customers like me.

Answer 9

I was a bisping fan and a ufc fan. I have been watching ufc since 99. Obviously Hamill won the fight. There is a poll on the UFC official website on the right sidebar asking who you think won the fight. I just voted. Results so far: Hamill 87.90%, Bisping 12.10%. Why not vote for who you think won.

Answer 10

What was so funny is Joe Rogan & the other announcer didn't say nothing about the decision.

SO with that logic, I guess whoever gets hurt and taken down the most wins!!

Bisping's more marketable than HAMILL, so they gave him the decision and the fact it was his hometown factored in also.

IF ufc is legit, they need to distance themselves from these judges in England and say something about this travesty.
