Dana WhiteGo ahead and count Dana White among the legions of fans left disappointed and frustrated after the judges decision was rendered following last Saturday night's fight featuring Matt Hamill and Michael Bisping. Fans in attendance at London's packed O2 arena were visibly frustrated with the call and proceeded to rain heavy boo's down upon the octagon following the judges controversial split decision.

According to multiple sources, including Yahoo! Sports and UFC.com, White feels the verdict was questionable and that a rematch between Bisping and Hamill is a "no brainer". He also added that he had the fight two rounds to one in favor of Hamill and that he'll begin working on the rematch "right away".

Many fans and observers were in disagreement with the official scoring of a fight that most, including the vast majority of the press in attendance, ruled a decisive victory for Matt Hamill. The ever-gracious Hamill spoke respectfully of Bisping after the fight, although he was clearly convinced that he'd done enough to secure a victory.

"Mike did a good job," said Hamill. "He beat me fair and square and I give him a lot of credit, but I thought I won the fight."

Bisping has stated that he would welcome a rematch with Hamill and the chance to quell the perception among fans and the media that Saturday night's victory was essentially hollow.

Given the fan-conscious history of the UFC, and Dana White in particular, we fully expect to see round two of this burgeoning grudge match in the very near future.
