Hamill should have been given that decision. He was very gracious in defeat, while Bisping was a bit of an a'hole in victory. Hamill's standup was surprisingly good - he's really improved. Bisping has very well rounded skills, but he really is 'small' at 205. As the commentators pointed out, he should consider dropping down to 185.
I'm not surprised that Rampage won the unanimous decision. He did not win every round, but I think any fair judge would have to say he won the fight. Most the rounds were close, though.
Both guys have excellent defense on the ground. When the fight goes there it's sort of like a soccer match or a chess match. It's boring if you want to see a big score, but interesting if you appreciate the subtleties of the back and forth.
Cro Cop was the biggest disapointment. He just never got on track. Kongo was much better, bigger and stronger than I remember him. He has alot of upside.
Overall, the big name fights were OK, but did not live up to the hype. Sometimes that happens when the figthers are so equally matched.
The two undercard fights they showed were excellent.
