Michael Bisping Feels He Won The First Two Rounds Against Chael Sonnen

Many pundits felt that UFC middleweight Michael ‘The Count’ Bisping would simply be outclassed versus opponent Chael Sonne leading up to their UFC on FOX 2 co-main event bout. Once the caged door closed though, Bisping put in a very good performance by taking the fight to Sonnen. Despite some giving two rounds to ‘The Count’ the judges saw it in favor of Sonnen awarding him scores of 29-28, 29-28, and 30-27.

I think there is no question that he got the third round, although if I had another round I feel I would have stopped him. He even said to me after the fight before the decision was announced ‘What do you think Mike?’ And I said ‘Honestly, I think I got the first two rounds.’ And he said, ‘I think you might be right.'”
