UFC 127 pre-fight Interviews: Penn, Fitch, Sotiropoulos and Bisping

Hoping for wins from...



BJ.

Mike.

George or Siver.

ME TOO !

'George or Siver'. Lmfao as if you gonna fail that prediction.

Hey DeadlyIntentions, that wasn't a prediction. Was just saying I like them both equally, so blow me.

Gonna go with ...

Fitch ( Im possibly his only fan )

Bisping (my first time ever voting for him lol)

George ( altho i have seen him rock a few times lately)

You're not the only Fitch fan. Nice guy, tough as nails, always in great shape, and a great fighter. The guys that don't like his style should think about watching kickboxing instead. This is MMA and wrestling is part of the game.

There's a difference between wrestling (looking to do damage and advance position) and laying on somebody for 3 rounds to bore the fans and ensure you get the win.

I do see him try for the finish all the time but it usually starts in the 3rd round after he tires them out and then he leaves little time to get the job done. many times he ends a fight with his opponents back and trying to get the choke but he waits too long. The guy should start that way since he has the cardio. I love watching Fitch though.

Fitch will own Bj , if Frankie did , imagine how Fitch will!

i see a similar fight like UFC 94!

and when is Bisping fight real competition?

if he wins he will be bragging about how he is a year from the title

over and over again!



why is he not fighting Okami? Marquardt? Maia?

Bispin is right, Rivera has been racist, and the videos just don´t make sense, I actually want Bisping to win...

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh racist really british is not a race its not even a ethnic group it's a nationality if anything he is being nationalist. i cant stand it when people play the race card. anyone that is racist and anybody that whines about other people being racist should be shipped of to antartica and let everyone else live peace

Race refers to classifications of humans into relatively large and distinct populations or groups often based on factors such as appearance based on heritable phenotypical characteristics or geographic ancestry, but also often influenced by and correlated with traits such as culture, ethnicity and socio-economic status. A nationalist is a member of a political party or group advocating national independence or strong national government. in short, you're an idiot.

Race: A local geographic or global human population distinguished as a more or less distinct group by genetically transmitted physical characteristics.

Racism: a belief that race is the primary determinant of human traits and capacities and that racial differences produce an inherent superiority of a particular race



look i can copy and paste too in short dont open your mouth unless you know what you are talking about. also calling somebody a idiot because they disagree with does not help to make your argument sound more intelligent grow up

they cant help it!

@postmortem

you can be racist towards someone because of their nationality.... have you ever heard someone being called a 'paki' this is due to them being from pakistan or a middleeastern country. that is racist

Hi Postmortem,



For those who don't use your definitions on a daily basis, could you please define what you mean by him " being a nationalist".

- How specifically does someone play the race card and what strategy is someone using whilst making this play?



Am I right in quoting you here, "anyone that is a racist should be shipped to antartica and let everyone else live in peace. What level of racism would someone have to have to be shipped to Antartica? Who would create the measurement for unacceptable levels of racism and who would conduct the enquiry? What about the people who live in Antartica, on the presumption that no one can live in peace whilst there are racists is true (you have presumed this, with what evidence) then all society would have to do is get rid of racists and everyone could live in peace.



Wow, the simplicity of your argument must be based on a lot of time and money spent researching for global solutions to racism. When exactly did you begin solving such big problems?



Thanks for sharing, it's a sign of caring

Odesa

i agree! british man o man are cry babies! why well maybe they know the truth! yeah they do! if bisping like all the rest cant win with thier skills ! they cry! oh well! cant change poor sports! bisping needs too grow up!

dear post"Moron" it wouldnt be nationalist, nationlist is when u are just crazy believer in ur OWN nation.. what jorge is doing is prejudice, stereotypical and YES racist. If you noticed Bisping hasnt done much in retaliation in regards to stuff he's said before, hes chill about it all and Jorge is going for the Sonnen effect... I got Bisping on this one to be honest, Jorge dont got the skill for Bisping, so hes attempting to go the psychological route.. sorry jorge i got my money on the brit

only because pakistan has a single ethnic majority britian is one of the most diverse countrys

postmortem. you're just fighting over semantics. the truth is you're just trying to seem unique. i called you an idiot because you post comments that are idiotic, plus you can only disagree on opinions, not facts. you said "if anything, he is being nationalist" which is making up a new term for an already existing word. an idiotic statement, making you in that moment, an idiot. plus racist is a serious problem even today. famous people that say racist things should get called on it because its just plain wrong. simply wishing everyone you don't like goes to Antartica wont get anything done. idiot.

Postmortem should be shipped off to the Antartica.



Paki Bastard!

obviously you lack the intelligence to realize i was being sarcastic notice i used the word nationalist as a adjective not a noun as in being a nationalist. nowhere did i say that racism is not a serious matter or what riveera was saying wasnt stupid and pointless. i just said i hate it when people are so quick to bring race into a discusion in my experince the people who are the first to bring it up are usaully the most racist people in the room.

also to odesahitman nobody lives in antartica so we wouldnt have to worry about that once again its called sarcasm

Postmortem,



Thanks for the feedback. Sarcasm is an over used defence by people whose abstract argumentation becomes the subject of "specific scrutiny", in this particular instance, I suggest that your abstract reasoning was unable to stand scrutiny and you have resorted to the "sarcasm defence" - it's a bit like escaping a triangle and getting caught by an arm bar (this is a sarcastic use of abstraction).



best wishes

Odesa

Right as i was gonna type it Odesa beats me to the punch and it even sounds prettier.

:O

Bisping came across very well in that interview, I hope he smashes Jorge to pieces

HEY RICK ~! you really do think bisping is coming off on this interview like a PROESSIONAL? well go look at sum of GSP S! our champs interviews! thats how a pro does it! can you all imagine bisping being a MIDDLE WEIGHT UFC CHAMPION? sayn dumb horse sh!t like that! i bet dana white would have a talkn too him! i dont understand alot of things in life! but every time bisping has a ufc fight he always brings sum kinda drama with him. I REALLY DONT THINK PEOPLES HERE HATE BISPING TOO MURDER HIM ! but rite from peoples like the fans , fighters , interviewers see how he all ways trys too use his stupid b.s an acting out in a unprofessional manner! when will he just calm down and focus. and act like he is a 32 yr married dad ! and a pro fighter! thats ll we ask here rick!

Doesn anybody else think Ariel Helwani rocks? who else can say "I appreciate you interrupting me" and sound sincere? plus 4:30 into the Bisping interview B.J. starts rapping in the background.

he's an enjoyment to watch. No bullshit questions and always respectful

yes i all ways thought that ! helwani may look like a nerd but he is acts like a professional ! and he asks good questions! qusetions that matter!!

bj get this done! than deal with the champ! fitch productions lol! sotiropoulos down southern australia the laws that government lay down are freakn retarded! u can fight in boxing ring but not a cage! and bisping you got a big mouth! you actn like a moron ! if you knew that why wouldnt you just let it go and win your fight! be more a role modle for the uk fans! good luck!

does Bisping know his a joke???

yes ! deep down inside!

Penn - he looks good, sounds good and seems ready...great. With that said, I still can't believe that if he wins this fight he gets to fight for the title. He hasn't earned it.



Fitch - calm, cool, collected, focused and mature. He too, seems ready for this fight. I'll be picking Fitch. And he's earned the title shot.



Sotiropoulos - same as Fitch. I don't see hm losing to DS. In no way will DS submit Sots; that is laughable.



Bisping - wow, has Jorge gotten under his skin. My advice to MB, he should relax on the Rivera videos. They were not over the line, they were not in any way racists, they were just good fun. Again, if Bisping had any brains he would have done his own videos and when asked about Jorge's, he should have just laughed them off (even if they bothered him) and made no big deal out of them; for by going on about them, he's made them into a bigger deal than they actually are / were. And what does JR being 38 have to do with anything?

Hope Fitch wins.

i agree

@ falcon



So do I man; so do I.

Wait a minuite wingchun, youre actually going against bj in this fight? as in, you don't want him to ,or think he'll, win? :o

Think i will read about this one in the paper.

Snooze-fest of a card if i ever seen one (IMO).



Other than the Penn/Fitch fight ... they all seem to be either lop-sided bouts or a battle of unheard of fighters.

although he hangs off dana whites balls (which makes sense for his career btw/) hes is the best in the business tha ariel one
