Recently in Michael Bisping Category

I do know that Wanderlei Silva did in fact have facial surgery, to repair years of scar tissue build-up and to repair his nose, which had been broken repeatedly. Silva and Bisping were scheduled to fight at an upcoming UFC in England, but Bisping blogged recently that the fight was off, due to Wand's surgery. Still, the question remains - which pic is real, which is fake, or are they both photoshopped? I have no idea, I'm just here to add fuel to the fire ...

Bisping's shot

This photo of Michael Bisping vs. Chris Leben was posted on Sherdog.com. On the site's forum, posters ripped on it. One guy had a caption for it: "I wish I knew how to quit you," which I think was taken from "Brokeback Mountain." Another said Leben had a noggin that rivaled that of Tito Ortiz.

This week Tom and I talk about The Kimbo/Seth/EliteXC scandal, give our UFC 89 predictions and congratulate LionHeart Fighters' Phil Davis on his pro debut win.

UFC's Web sites for 89 and 90 are up - and can be seen here.

Man, that is a small photo. Probably the smallest I've ever used on this site. If you can't see it, it really is Rampage training at Wolfslair, I think.

Anyway, we had heard that Rampage had kicked trainer Juanito Ibarra to the curb. But who imagined he'd end up in England? Well, I guess we should have figured, since he and Michael Bisping are good friends. It'll be interesting to see what kind of fighter he turns out to be after some training there.

From fightersonlymagazine.com:
Quinton 'Rampage' Jackson has joined the Wolfslair fight team, Fighters Only can exclusively reveal.

The Wolfslair is home to top British fighters Michael Bisping and Paul Kelly; gym owners Anthony McGann and Lee Gwynne confirmed earlier today that Jackson has signed a three-year deal.

"Wolfslair management has been advising Quinton over the past couple of weeks and he has decided to join the team with Michael Bisping and Paul Kelly," said McGann.

He said Jackson's former coach, Juanito Ibarra, "has resigned as Quinton's manager and will now be concentrating on his other up-and-coming prospects. The split was amicable and they have parted on good terms".

Jackson said he chose to join the Wolfslair "because those guys got it together. Michael Bisping took to me like a brother from the first time I met him. He and Anthony were very hospitable towards me when I first came to the UK.
