Probably not the case if it was in the USA.

I thought the Anderson/Bisping decision was controversial, not so much this one. Besides a couple H bombs and control late in the 5th, felt like Bisping controlled most of it
What about when Hendo laid on top of him for like 2 minutes in another round?
Hendo had the dominant position, but Bisping did a good job keeping him from doing anything with it.
That was a great card from top to bottom. Very entertaining.
Main event was a lot closer than I expected but I thought Bisping won 48-47. I guess you could make the case for a draw as well because the 1st round could have been a 10-8. Happy for Bisping winning the belt and then defending it at home but I think he loses it in his next fight.
Hendo didn't win but that wasn't a bad way for him to go out. What a legend. He has put on a ton of entertaining fights for years. The UFC should give him one of those jobs where he gets paid to do nothing.
Vitor doesn't have much left but that was still a great performance by Mousasi. He deserves one of the top guys in the division. If he can't get one of the four currently in that mini tournament then I guess Anderson or the winner of Whittaker/Brunson wouldn't be bad either. He'd be right up there in the title mix by now if it wasn't for that fluke loss to Hall.
Manuwa looked great. Struve did as well.
I still don't know much about Bektic but he looks pretty legit. 4-0 in the UFC now.
Bingo.48-47 was the correct scoring, but this fight is a perfect example of the flaws with round scoring. Hendo nearly finished Bisping twice, and Bisping never had Hendo in even remote danger. You score that fight as a whole and it's plain as day that Hendo won.
Glad to see Bisping defend. He isn't a young buck himself, so hope he enjoys it while it lasts.
