UFC 120 Aftermath: Bisping Outlasts Akiyama; Condit Proves Far Less ‘Foolish’ than Hardy Anticipated

(“Free porridge for everyone!” PicProps: UFC)

We hope Dana White didn’t have to make any profane and vaguely threatening phone calls on Saturday night after several of his athletes ignored his well articulated desire for them not to let their fights go to the judges at UFC 120. Michael Bisping was among the offenders, claiming a clear-cut (and fairly compelling) unanimous decision over Yoshihiro Akiyama. Mike Pyle’s grinding upset win over John Hathaway also went the distance, as did wins for undercarders Claude Patrick and Spencer Fisher. Oh, and Cheick Kongo and Travis Browne fought to a frickin’ draw (which Big DW actually joked about on yesterday’s video blog) after Kongo got a little grabby with Browne’s shorts.

Only Carlos Condit and Alexander Gustafsson were good for televised stoppages and Zuffa even fudged that by adding Gustafsson’s choke out of Cyrille Diabate by the magic of tape delay. On the whole – and despite its overly judgy nature – UFC 120 was the kind of card that proved a bit better in practice than on paper. Still, we’re sure glad we didn’t have to pay for it.

All 20 fighters comfortably made weight for their UFC 120 fights on Friday, with little in the way of fireworks or posturing just 24 hours from the event at London’s 02 Arena.

In the middleweight main event, both Michael Bisping and Yoshihiro Akiyama weighed in at 185 pounds. Bisping leaned into Akiyama at the customary post weigh-in staredown, but Akiyama was unbothered, even breaking into a small smile before UFC president Dana White broke them up and they shook hands.

A little less friendly was the staredown between co-main eventers Carlos Condit and Dan Hardy.
