Lol I did refer to it as a 3 rounder, but what I meant was that Bisping had obviously won 3 out of the 5 rounds. The fight has been years but I watched it live when it happened (I remember this card taking place in the daytime) & at least twice afterwards.
you claiming Silva KOed Bisping is a “fact” in no way, whatsoever, makes it a fact. Because it wasn’t, and he didn’t.

I clarified myself, how is that backpedaling?Seems you're backpedaling a bit, but are still struggling to admit you aren't as keen on this fight as you initially implied.
Great "win" for Bisping, huh?

seems like you’re unable to address any of the points in the post you just quoted.
Ooooh now I see that you cut out the juicy parts of the quote in order to avoid addressing them? Lol
If you think I actually never watched the fight, & wasn't misspeaking while trying to get across the point that Bisping had 1 more round than Anderson, then I don't know what to tell you. that in no way negates the fact that at the time of the fight, four years ago, I DID watch the fight very intently & rewatched it afterwards, around that time. The SENTIMENT that I was expressing, which STILL rings true, is that Bisping had clearly won one more round than Silva had won overall.No, you tried to recover from a major error in your initial, and very cunty, post. "That was a clear as day 29-28 for ping" - does not mean "he won 3 out of 5 rounds". You're initially saying he won only 2 rounds. You weren't aware of the fight being a 5-rounder, and proceeded to make up a lame ass excuse for your lack of knowledge on a fight you were pretending to be an authority on.
Silva finished his ass at the end of the third round. It was gift from Herb that he was allowed to continue, and a gift from the hometown judges to get a 48-47 out of it, when at the very best for Bisping, it should've been a 47-47 draw since he was gifted a continuation after being finished. Herb fucked up, plain and simple.
Scoring wise, the fourth round is (historically) the only contested round. Please tell me your personal assessment of that round. How did you score it for Bisping? Was it the eye poke that stole the round for him? You'll have to actually watch the fight, fella. Shucks.
If that’s the case, then I apologize for that one. I hadn’t seen your reply at the time of the editYou edited your post 2 minutes after I replied. Why are you insisting on being dishonest and making up bullshit? The times are displayed on both posts.
Anderson is greater overall with his career, but Bisping deserved the win over himGsp > bisping >andy
I didn’t say that’s exactly what I said. Yes, I misremembered the length of the fight offhand, but that in no negates the fact that at the time of the fight, four years ago, I DID watch the fight very intently & rewatched it afterwards, around that time. The SENTIMENT that I was expressing, which STILL rings true, is that Bisping had clearly won one more round than Silva had won overall.
Fighters do not decide when a finish happens. The ref does. Had Silva attempted some follow up strikes, perhaps he would have gotten the finish. Perhaps not. But he didn’t, and now we’re left speculating. ANDERSON fucked up, plain & simple.

@Fioretti As far as the fourth round goes, I just remember feeling confident that Bisping had outworked him & controlled the cage more. It was the closest round, but it seemed pretty clearly for Bisping at the time, & in the few rewatches that I did of the fight around that time.
I had no dog in the fight & was really impressed by Bisping for surprising me & pulling off what looked to be a well deserved win.
none of my posts show me as a Bisping lover or a Silva hater. I have no reason to lie about watching the fight live, & multiple times afterwards (4 years ago)
Oh. That flew completely over my head.Uh no that is what Bisping said to Vitor at the weigh in. I didn't realize that you are not in the know.
The Bisping fight was the last time we saw glimpses of the great Spider.
