Deaf Fighter Hamill Screwed by Blind Judges

UFC 75 - London, England

Outrage and disbelief was the feeling after the judges announced that Michael Bisping defeated Matt Hamill. What was even more amazing was when the 'Londoners' turned on their boy and began booing.

Hamill looked like he learned how to strike and frustrated the hell out of Bisping. Hamill got some early takedowns and let Bisping back up letting the fight play out on the feet. After 3 rounds of boxing and hockey punching type striking there was no doubt that Matt Hamill won.

After the announcement by Bruce Buffer of the winner, Michael Bisping jumped up and down. The English crowd which was definitely pro-Bisping began to boo showing their displeasure over the outcome of the match. During the post fight interview he showed little class not by not giving Hamill any respect and reiterating his dislike for his deaf teamate from the Ultimate Fighter 3. Hamill on the other hand was gracious in defeat which garnered him some cheers from the hostile London crowd.

Bisping got the victory but might have loss the respect of the English MMA fans. It will be interesting to see the reaction he gets next time he fights in the UK.

Hamill loss the bout but showed he's actually training boxing. I don't see him being a champion at 205 but if continues to progress he can become a viable contendor at his weight class.

Lesson: Beware of conflicts of interests.

Judges and officials are paid by the athletic commissions in the states that the UFC runs in but in England there is no athlectic commission so they were flown in from the states and paid by the UFC directly. There was a questionable decision and it went to the hometown fighter. Coincidence...... I think not!

Mirko Cro Cop done???

There's no crying in UFC!
UFC 75 - London, England

Just like the picture courtesy of Sherdog.com, Mirko "CroCop" Filipovic's title hopes are on the fence.

Losing to Gabiel "Napao" Gonzaga by spectacular head kick after getting obliterated with elbows to the head at UFC 70 in Manchester, England

Mirko had a fence installed at his training center after revealing that he did not train for elbows or inside a cage. He appeared to be determined to win his next fight. At the UFC 75 pre-fight press conference as posted on the front page of his website Mirko states:

"I lost my last fight in Manchester, it was a hard time for me and I trained harder then ever. I'm ready now, I feel good and I expect a tough fight on Saturday night"

Back to fight in England, this time in London for UFC 75, he was dominated by the gigantic Frenchman Chieck Congo. In the first round Cro Cop stalked Congo making the Frenchman backup. He looked like the legendary Mirko CroCop dominating in the first round. Then the second round begins and little by little Congo found his range with his jab and mid kicks. He held Mirko aganist the fence and landed knees to his thighs, mid section and even some to the groin which got him a strong warning from UFC ref "Big" John McCarthy. Cro Cop did little, getting out struck by Congo. Rounds 2 and 3 were won by the Frenchman.

After the fight Chieck Kongo was trilled because he got a win bonus for his victory and also got Cro Cop's lunch money after bullying him around the UFC octagon.

Also sucks for the UFC, they're paying top dollar for a guy who can't beat opponents set up from him to destroy. He was supposed to fight Randy Couture, Andre Arloski, Tim Sylvia, and even rumors of a fight aganist Chuck Liddell. Now the UFC is stuck with a guy who they can't push, who might even retire and go back to being anti-terroism officer and Croatian parliamentarian.

To Cro Cop fans, pick one of the following:
