il steer clear of fighter bashing buts lets be real about one thing. whatever sonnens sins in this world, he will be judged and punished by the relevant authorities not by a load of pussies on the internet,
HOWEVER
ppl ignore the sins of one and then attack bisping for some dumb shit
if bisping was american and sonnen was british i dont even know where wed be on the flip scale
the fact is americans are too fuckin blinkered sometimes by there insularity and dogma parading as patriotism
its natural to support the hime favourite, but shouting usa in the face of anyone who is an international fighter is a little bit nuremberg for most of us.
all that flag worshipping, dont care who they are so long as they were born on the same continent as me, dumbarsery just looks silly.
thats it really.
thats all i wanted to say
Cool story bro.
i agree bisping is treated terribly by the folk that frequent this site.
Sonnen is a convicted criminal i think as his punishment he should be sacrificed by bisping on his march for the title.
All aboard enterprise elevenin
I'm American I am not a bisping fan what so ever. I thought he acted like a prick on tuf an has continued to do so(illegal knee, spitting on jorge's conrerman, etc) that being said I prefer him to sonnen. Soo... Call It whatever you want.
Nobody shouts USA at GSP
Take the safety off your guns gentlemen, shits sbout to go down....
Most of the Bisping hate stems directly from the UK troll squad. They do a good job in keeping his name out there, which is their point. But what happens is, a lot of people root against Bisping simply because they want to see the UK trolls blow apart at the seams.
Bisping is a dick and his shit talk is unamusing.
Sonnen is a dick whose shit talk is very amusing. Plus Sonnen backs it up much better than Bisping.
The two of them on a season of TUF would revitalize the series.
bunch of haters in this thread.
Sonnen is funny, bisping is not.
Kanodogg1 - Sonnen is funny, bisping is not. <img src="/images/phone/post_tag.png" alt="Phone Post" border="0" style="vertical-align:middle;"/>
could be different senses of humor
you guys like things falling over
clowns, fat ppl, middlewieght champions
i can see why sonnens comedy routine is actually an under rated masterpiece
get to withing a minute of winning and then lose
its vintage comedy
he does it all the time tho
bisping on the other hand is a little more subtle
euro/ brit piss taking humor
banter if you will
i see why thats a bit hard to fathom sometimes
sonnen knocks things down and then they get back up and beat him
thats good for lols
i do see that
You think it's strange that people root for their countrymen?
ttt
PickledSoylentQueen -Did you just vote up someone who snatched your SN while you were under a SN bet or did you abdicate the name to someone new?GodSaveTheQueen - i agree bisping is treated terribly by the folk that frequent this site.

VTFU mate. Well put.

Sonnen has great wrestling, which makes theoretical switch impossible to imagine.
Bisping is probably the most disliked fighter in the UFC.
And it is 100% completely his own fault.
I'm Canadian.
Bisping has pillowfists.
Sonnen is entertaining.
Maple syrup is delicious.
TRO11er - Chimonos revenge fuck off you idiot.
Wow, sounds like someone pissed in your cheerios this morning douche canoe.
Did you dispute my point?
Care to elaborate?
Oh, I forgot I was talking to a waste of time 11'er troll.
The point we seem to forget that hinges on alot of the love/hate for both men is this. Chael talked a load of shit about taking a fight to Silva, who everyon was fighting like they were afraid of him. He lost, but he did back up his talk and took the fight to him.
Bisping on the other hand, after sleeping through a fight rather than cornering one his guys, talking shit, acting like a child on TV and finally running down one of MMA's hall of famers (Dan Henderson) over and over in prefight interviews, to end it by becoming an all time top 10 highlight for Hendo.
I really think, had that whole TUF/Hederson thing never happened (and to be honest maybe if it would have been some other guy, a loud douche instead of Henderson) Bisping would be a good bit more popular than he is now in the US. That whole Hendo thing, shittalking prefight esp, didnt do him any favors, at all.
