I personally hate the Fox broadcast and broadcast team and putting Randy Couture in the mix didn't do him any favors or help they looked bored and like deer in the headlights. The coverage sucks and even Goldberg/Rogan tandem looked reserved and uninterested. Boring and I'm glad I recorded it so I could get to the fights which in themselves were about as boring and uninteresting as well.

Dana White Thinks Michael Bisping Beat Chael Sonnen

By Chris Howie

Chael Sonnen may have walked away with the win and title shot last night at UFC on Fox 2 when he picked up the decision win over Michael Bisping but it was a closely contested bout that had UFC President Dana White swayed in the other direction:

"I actually, I did score that fight, I had Bisping two rounds to one. I was actually saying before the fight, this isn’t a five to one (under)dog. Bisping wrestled with Rashad, the way Bisping wrestled with Hamil. There is debate as to who won the Hamill fight. He was in there with Hamill. Bisping has great wrestling, good stand up and great submissions, too."
