Bisping, Hamill address controversy and MMA Madness Radio
Michael Bisping posted a message on his Web site regarding the controversy surrounding his UFC 75 fight against Matt Hamill. Here's an excerpt:
As most people will of seen the fight with me and Hamil was a close one. I have seen the controversy surrounding the decision so obviously have to reply. I personally feel he won round 1 and I took rounds 2 and 3. That said it was close and can I understand how some people would think differently. On the night I was given the decision and he wasn't, on another occasion it could of been different.
Hamill also posted a message on his Web site. Here's a snippet from that post:
The two judges that scored the win for Bisping obviously need to re-evaluate the way they score a fight. You can't win a fight when you run for three rounds.

And, Jeff Hamlin, Luke Thomas and I discussed UFC 75 on MMA Madness Radio, starting with the Bisping-Hamill fight and moving on to Mirko Cro Cop's loss and the main event fight between Quinton Jackson and Dan Henderson.

I like Michael Bisping as a man and a fighter. I think the guy is a real class act. However, I believe the other fighter won that fight on that night. The only thing "close" about it was the fact that the judges scored it the other way. THAT is the controversy. If the fight was close then no real controversy would exist. If Bisping relinquishes the decision Matt H. won't take it. The only solution is a rematch. Good luck to both.
