Official highlights
Ufc is so mafia. Its obvious that Spider won. Bisping landed just a few, causing no damage. While spider lander much more with devastating damage.
yes it’s true, Silva won this fight. Ufc wants just American or english champions….and even if Bazilians like Wanderly Silva, Anderson Silva, Jose Aldo, Vitor Belfort have build this sport and helped the Ufc to reach this popularity, when they get older, Ufc don’t give them respect, they “rob” fights/results and treat them like rubbish…
I hope Aldo, Wanderly and The Spider will go to Bellator or to Japan or they will build their own promotion
I hope that next time I see Silva he does more fighting and less; whatever that was. Im a big fan of Silva he danced for 3 rounds and beat the face of Bisping for 2. He needed a knock out because he lost on points. The refs and the Judges got this one right. Even one or two takedowns in one of the dance rounds and Silva would have won. Its not about how much blood.
I cant agree with that. Using a “boxing scoring” on a “MMA” fight, doesn’t fit.
He won because they want silva out, and need fresh meat on the ufc, he won because he was in home soil.
Not sure how you scored it but Bisping won rounds 1, 2 and 4 10-9. I had the same 48-47 score for Bisping. Aside from 3 shots by Silva in the final 30 seconds of round 4, Bisping was the more active fighter and landed more shots earlier in that round.
SCANDAL !!!
Hmm. Here’s what I saw.
If this had been a boxing match, people would be celebrating that decision. I don’t know about “unanimous”, that’s a bit of a joke.
In my eyes, Bisping was way more aggressive, way more serious about the fight. All I saw from Silva was a bunch of hand movements and him getting caught with punches he shouldn’t have been.
That said – THAT SAID – I feel Herb Dean screwed the pooch on the jumping knee. The fight should been stopped right then and there.
Sorry Herb was way right you can’t get knocked out after the bell. I dont know about at the bell? But the ref did his job; he let the fight go on unless someone needed to be protected. The fans got their moneys worth.
He was knocked out BEFORE the bell. It was blatant. With no mouth guard Bisping could have been in serious trouble off that shot.
100% Bisping win that fight
Anderson took 3 rounds off and did not finish. Im not a Bisping fan Im and Anderson Fan and Bisping won that fight on points.
Draw imo , other than that Silva has his self to blame
Anderson lost because he didnt fight the 4º round. He was, clearly, more objective and devastating, but this is a point based sport.
Silva was robbed!
