Oh man. This is going to be close. I'm surprised Anderson didn't go for the kill.

Bisping is a mess.

I'll go 48-47 Bisping.

Anderson could have finished he just never presses. No clue how they'll score it. Tempted to score it 48-47 bisping but he clearly took more damage

I think Herb Dean made a pretty huge mistake there. He comes forward with Bisping's mouth piece held out, but fails to call a break in the action. Bisping, meanwhile, thinks there's a break because the ref's holding his mouth piece out for him. Don't think Silva even saw it. Just threw the knee.

3rd Planet From Sun.
Rounds 1 and 2 clearly for Bisping
Rounds 3 and 5 for Anderson.

Round 4 was a toss up. I gave it to Silva but i can see how most give it to Bisping

Give Bisping a title shot, because he's not beating anybody on the top 5. Cash on him

That's the way I see it as well. He finally won the big one and probably won't beat the other top guys. Now is the time to put him in a title fight, if that's what they want to do.

I think Anderson only has himself to blame. He sat back way too much. Not sure if his chin is completely gone but he certainly can't clown around anymore.

Anderson could have easily finished Bisping, but he calls the judges corrupt in what was a close fight...

The key elements that help Bisping win:
- Didn't overcommit to be open for Silva's counter
- NOT moving in and out like Bisping used to do when he was younger. People say Bisping has a bad chin, but really the source of his KO losses tends to be that he gets clocked on the out of his erratic in & out movement. When he gets out of the pocket, he tends to be so open to get KO'd because he lacks all sort of balance to actually receive a punch properly. He did a good job staying in balance

Ultimately, that's actually the best Bisping I've ever seen in his career

Silva letting Bisping score points while he stood against the fence probably doesn't do him a lot of good there.

Seriously, Bisping almost got himself killed worrying about that damn mouthpiece.

If they want to give Rockhold/Weidman a gimme, then sure. But it's just a waste of a PPV.

Crazy how quickly Silva lost it as an elite fighter.

Went from the best in the world to 3 losses and a NC. Fedor like decline.

I mean... I guess it's not that quick. It's been more than 2 years since his first loss to Weidman, and he is almost 41 years old. But still...
