Michael Bisping Named International Fighter of the Year Over Alexander Gustafsson

[Vashgun]

Translation: The UFC is still trying to establish a strong footing on the UK MMA market.

i die :icon_lol: everytime i read your sig lol

 

[Vashgun]

Just like Presidential elections, 90% of the people who bitch and moan about this result never bothered to cast their vote in the first place.

actually the popular vote is meaningless, if you're fooled by that please refer to the constitution.

LAWL.

Thats bullshit

Zhang Tiequan was robbed.

'International fighter of the year' might be the stupidest MMA category I've ever heard of, until I heard of 'Leading Man of the year'. They mean nothing.

 

[Cid]

Fight of the Year: Joe Lauzon vs. Jamie Varner.

C'mon. I love J-Lau but on a list with Hendo/Shogun, Chandler/Alvarez, and Jung/Porier this just makes no sense.

Maybe they gave him extra credit for the Miller fight as well.

 

[vuco KJV***]

Bunch of the things they mention are from 2011.

Hendo vs Shogun, Chandler vs Alvarez, Mir vs Nog, all happened in 2011.

 

[Islam Imamate]

All 3 of Alex's wins were more impressive and against better fighters than Bisping's wins IMO.

You shouldn't even have to type IMO ,his one win over Shogun is better than both of Bisping's wins.

I didn't even know Bisping fought this year.

You didn't miss anything, trust me.

 

[PabloZed]

I can only ask who were the nominees? And WTF does "international" mean for an international sport? Do they really mean "european?"

It's too early to get excited about something rather trivial, but this is pure BS!

 

[closetfighter]

this is like when bisping beat hammil.

Are you guys retarded or what? The period for awards consideration is september 2011 - september 2012. Its not rocket science. The Shogun fight DOESNT COUNT

 

[LoneWolf237]

and gustafson is overrated. bisping is in great shape and should finally get his title shot already!

I really don't think 99% of the folks voting for this public pool took that into considiration.

 

[Just a username]

That's fucking bullshit, Gustafsson is on a tear and is actually deserving of a title shot, while Bisping recently lost.

 

[marxist tourist]

Chill out folks MMA has a MESSI who will pick up the trophy the next couple of years if he is interested. Gunnar Nelson

It ended up coming down to 3 votes, and those just happened to be cast by the judges from Bisping vs. Hammill.

Would have been two votes to one in that case - the British judge gave the fight to Matt ...... you know, the biased, patriotic one ....

I don't think you know what technically means.
