I agree with that, the UFC are always happy to take Brits too. Admittedly I havent seen any of his fights, whats his style like? Not another Brit who'll get wrestlef*cked is he and thats no disrespect to the current British lot. A win against Ninja is certainly good even if he is a bit jaded these days.

Dont know much about him myself but what i have seen he looks to stand up mostly and seems to be more of a kickboxing style......so yeah probably will get taken down like the rest!

Although he does train at Greg Jacksons,so you would think he has some kind of ground game!

He's pretty well rounded. He showed some tremendous takedown defence last night which helps as he's maybe not the best in the submissions department.

He could do pretty well in the UFC Middleweight division I reckon as there aren't THAT many excellent wrestlers in that division anyway.

can't even say chael sonnen now

ROFL

Apparently they've changed their mind, he can apply for his license back in June which makes way for Bisping v Sonnen to headline UFC in the UK in October!

With tuf 14 before it i should imagine aswell!

Wouldnt fancy bispings chances though to be honest..but id fancy getting tickets for that one.

Have they confirmed the venue for the uk card yet? i know they were talking about nottingham or liverpool.

Think Kong trains quite a lot in North America, so I imagine he'll have some ground skills.

Just that it'll be Notts or Liverpool at the minute.

Let's hope we don't just get the bog standard Bisping, Hathaway etc fights and that we have a legit main event. I know Diego Sanchez v Matt Hughes is scheduled for around that time, I'd be happy with that.

If it is bisping v sonnen i would imagine that would be the main event as a no1 contender fight...

Id be pretty underwhelmed with sanchez hughes TBH

Near my birthday so I wouldn't mind a trip to my first live event and a heavy night out too!
Sonnen is a terrible fight for Bisping, wrestlef*cked for 3 rounds is all I can see. I hope sonnens back though the talk with him and Bisping would be epic. Also nice to hear Bisping tweeted support for Sonnen saying hed payed his dues etc.

Hi Fellas,
Im going to Las Vegas on Thursday,staying at the MGM grand (ash cloud permitting)!! I've noticed that there's a big UFC event taking place t the hotel on the Saturday night and was wondering if you think that it'll be worth checking out as i don't know any of the fighters apart from the main event Rampage v Mark Hamill. Cheers
