Honestly I don't even think Anderson cares about winning at this point, just putting on a show for the fans lol
He literally stood and slipped shots and let bisping hit him for 2-3 minutes in that fight total, and purposely did stuff to make the crowd go wild
Lots of fighters say "i wanna put on a good fight for the fans" thats bullshit
Anderson is willing to get outpointed and not fight seriously in order to please the crowd. But it seems to be the worst possible time to do it- against bisping in his hometown.. sigh
Only reason im upset is this fucks up andersons title shot, even though I still think he deserves it over bisping tbh just cause Anderson/Rockhold is a dream matchup

Man, you really feel Anderson-Rockhold is a dream matchup? I'm one of the biggest Anderson fans there is, but Rockhold would murder him at this point, unfortunately.

Obviously Anderson knows how to knock someone out better than I do, but what the hell was he thinking at the beginning of the fourth round? He had Bisping half knocked out and he let him recover. He put no pressure on Bisping in the beginning of the fourth.

I'm so disappointed he did not win.
He might be slower and less agile, but it is still all there in the mind. He still knows what his opponent is going to do before he himself does. Shame the body can't keep up.

Arrogance and coasting cost Silva the decision. He looked fresh as hell at the end of the 5th and only his inactivity and playing around cost him a KO/TKO win. In fact he nearly finished him twice. Don't know what he was thinking tbh.....absolute madness.

I feel like more blame should be placed on Anderson for not finishing Bisbing, instead of the 10 point must system. Clearly Bisbing got his ass beat, but Silva has been in this game long enough to know better than to not finish that shit.

People forget that Anderson's offensive boxing isn't terribly great, it's his countering and overall skill and creativity that make him so dangerous.
As far as the decision goes, I thought Anderson took it, but I'd have to rewatch the fight again.
