Im sure your a big bisbing fan and im not a rashad fan but you have to admit tht the only thing that bisbing did was stand up from takedowns. he was tenetive the entire time and let rashad control the pace of the fight. maybe rashad didnt really BEAT bisbing but bisbing did nothing to win the fight.
Doing a takedown which leads to something aggressive is fine. Otherwise it's the ground game equievent of a jab. I like Bisping but thought he lost but the takedown thing has bothered me for ages. It was just worse the other night when Bisping got up from every single takedown without too much trouble. Ortiz, Liddell and Hughes always capitalise on the takedown. Evans never does which is a shame because obviously it works for him.
