UFC On Fox 2 Results: Dana White Thinks Michael Bisping Beat Chael Sonnen

The co-main event of UFC on Fox 2 saw Michael Bisping put on a much better performance than most expected against Chael Sonnen. While many expected that Sonnen would be too strong and too good for the Brit, Bisping showed that he was more than capable of not taking damage on the times he was taken down and looked more than able to compete in the strength department.

Sonnen took the fight by what was announced as a unanimous decision, but it turns out that the fight was actually a split decision for Sonnen making it the second consecutive fight with incorrect scores announced on the Fox broadcast. Via F4Online:

In the Chael Sonnen vs. Michael Bisping fight, Judges Brad Odom and Otto Torriero gave Sonnen rounds one and three and Bisping round two. Judge Clay Goodman gave all three rounds to Bisping.

UFC president Dana White told Ariel Helwani during the Fuel broadcast that he also scored the fight for Bisping:

I actually, I did score that fight, I had Bisping two rounds to one. I was actually saying before the fight, this isn't a five to one (under)dog. Bisping wrestled with Rashad, the way Bisping wrestled with Hamil...Bisping has great wrestling, good stand up and great submissions, too.

Edit: Front Row Brian points out in the comments that it actually was a unanimous decision, not a split. Not sure what happened with Meltzer's report, but it appears to be inaccurate.
