After enduring a brutally slow match from Machida and Heath, fans were treated to a much faster paced fight between crowd favorite Michael Bisping and Elvis Sinosic. Bisping, a Liverpool native and winner of [i]The Ultimate Fighter 3[/i], gave the audience what they were looking for as he threw fierce punches before taking Sinosic to the ground. Bisping's ground and pound opened up a cut on Sinosic's head to end the first round. [p]In the second, Sinosic almost stole the victory away from Bisping, narrowly losing a kimura only to have Bisping get in his guard and restart the ground and pound from the first round. The referee finally stopped the match at 1:40 of the second round.
