    If the odds were -115 vs -115, I would have probably taken Bisping.

    I would have taken Kennedy, but not for much. It's hard to know how a guy like Kennedy is going to do against a guy like Bisping, it's very easy to see the success that Bisping has had stuffing takedowns and getting back to his feet, but very difficult to judge the wrestling of a guy like Kennedy in comparison to Bisping's previous opponents. I was actually pretty confident that Bisping would have no success getting up from underneath Kennedy with his other-worldly top game (one of the best in MMA, by the way), but I wasn't sure how he'd do in the clinch. Most of his takedowns come from the clinch, and Bisping is historically very strong there. He outworked Sonnen in the clinch with relative ease.

    I just felt that Kennedy was way too good to be +180 and higher. I don't like the guy, but he has what it takes to win.
