Michael Bisping, the Season 3 winner of The Ultimate Fighter, wants a rematch with Wanderlei.
“It was a close fight. Personally I think I won rounds one and two,” he told the media at the UFC 110 post-fight press conference. “The only things I felt I got hit with – I mean Wanderlei did a great job, full credit to him. Congratulations to him on winning the fight. Personally, apart from the guillotine and, you know, I got dropped in the third round, but apart from the guillotine in the second, I don’t think he had any offense come my way. I felt I won those two rounds.
I love when fighters say they would like a rematch, because they felt like they won the fight. It comes down to this. If you leave the fight in the judges hands, you just don’t know whats going to happen. Bisping should have finished the fight. If you don’t finish the fight, then you can’t complain about the judges decision. I think Bisping is great for the sport, and has really helped spread The UFC out of the USA, but the guy just rubs me the wrong way sometimes. Seems like he is always running his mouth, and then when he doesn’t win he blames everyone but himself.

Stephan Bonnar wants a rematch after his fight with Krzysztof Soszynski was stopped because an accidental head butt opened up a cut on Bonnar.
“I want to finish the fight man. It was only a few minutes left, right? And it was a head butt,” Bonnar told the media. “The worst part is – take a close up on this head – this cut is actually shaped like a ‘K’ for Krzysztof, so now I’ve got to walk around with a scar in the shape of a ’K’ on it, so I’m pissed off. Yeah, I’d love a rematch.”
Krzysztof Soszynski
Krzysztof Soszynski agreed with Bonnar.
“I agree with Stephan. If the UFC wants it and the fans want it, I think we should finish what we started, but it’s up to the UFC,” stated Soszynski.
This was a very frustrating ending to a great fight. You hate to see this happen to a fighter, when the fighter still has a chance. Stephan Bonnar is a fighter that is capable of coming back from any fight. I would like to see these guys go at it again.

If you are a fan of the UFC, you know who Nick Diaz is. And if you know who Nick Diaz is, you know the guy likes to smoke weed every once in a while.
The Nevada State Athletic Commission is against the use of Marijuana in its sports, and decided to use Nick Diaz as an example, so they overturned Diaz win over Gomi.

“Obviously it’s not a performance enhancing drug, so therefore trying to take the guy’s win away – all of these guys testing positive for steroids, and we’ll focus on Nick’s weed thing forever. Let’s talk about that forever. Oh, we did steroids, that’s fine. Let’s not talk about that. You did some cocaine or something,” continued the trainer. “People have this fetish for the weed thing or something.”

I have a few problems with this. Lets get this straight, I am not a Marijuana user, and never will be. Its a decision I made a long time ago, and I am sticking to it. That being said, I think The Nevada State Athletic Commission made the wrong decision by taking away Diaz win.
I know that just because Nick Diaz has a prescription to use Marijuana in California, doesn’t mean its okay for him to test positive for Marijuana in Nevada. But lets get real here, weed does not made you faster, stronger, and hit harder! The stuff does exactly the opposite, it calms you down and makes you lazy. So why take away the guys win because he tested positive for weed that he might have smoked two weeks before the fight? We need to be worried about steroids and performance enhancers, not stuff that makes you perform worse!

I am all about drug testing in sports that you put other athletes in danger. An example of this would be Nascar. You just can’t have a guy driving 200+ mph while high and drugged up. This is putting everyone in danger, including the fans and pit crew.
But UFC and Nascar are completely different. The only person that Diaz was putting in danger was himself, and himself only. If anything he is giving the other fighter a better chance of knocking him out.
I am sure a fighter does not get a fight taken away from him because he drank two weeks before the fight. I would bet that nothing would happen if he drank the night before! The reason is because he would have a hangover and if anything, people would think he is an idiot for drinking the night before a big fight.
Again, I do not think weed is a medicine that can fix everything, and I do not smoke Marijuana. But if a grown man decides he wants to smoke some weed a week or two before a fight, I don’t think his win should be taken away. Who knows, he probably smoked it in California, where it is legal, before he arrived in Nevada.
