"I can understand it from a business perspective because Chael sells. But it's frustrating because I've been waiting my whole career for a title shot, and the guy's had three out of his last five fights be title fights. But I do understand and it'll be a great season of The Ultimate Fighter."

-Michael Bisping talks to ESPN UK about Chael Sonnen getting another title shot in the UFC after his upcoming spot on The Ultimate Fighter opposite Jon Jones.

Penick's Analysis: It's a reasonable feeling for Bisping to have. Afterall, he still believes he should have gotten the nod over Sonnen in January. Having lost that fight, he's now had to win a fight over Brian Stann, and he'll have to beat Vitor Belfort this coming January in order to get into a title fight of his own. Meanwhile, Sonnen got the shot against Anderson Silva, lost, and now gets a second straight title fight. That'd frustrate anyone in Bisping's position, and though he expresses an understanding of it, the situation is no less aggravating.
