Both Silva and Bisping won that fight

[weakandweary]

So if Anderson's knee happened with 10 more seconds on the clock...

...does Herb stop the fight? Or Anderson follows up a with a shot or two and then the fight is stopped?


If so, that's sucky timing and the bell saved Bisping (which obviously isn't unheard of).


I bring this up because it kind of makes both fighters a winner: Bisping because he won the fight on points, but Silva for landing as close of a fight ending blow as you can.

In a strange way, both fighters have reason to feel victorious.

Agreed ....Bisping Officially won the fight, Silva in a way pretty much had the fight Won ....and the fans won by watching one helluva entertaining fight!




Rematch UFC 200?

He wasn't saved by the bell. That was a knockout.

What do you call it? He was out of there. A delusional poster I am not.

It wasn't as he was still concious...maybe if Anderson didn't act like a bellend and climb the fence maybe he could have capitalised on it.

No reason to feel bad for Silva, we just happened to end up in the universe where Bisping won

 

[ASTERIO]

Yeah, they both won. Mainly Bisping, since this fight is maybe the best fight of his career. Even I that have been hating on Bisping forever was excited about him putting on a show. Good fight, Bisping deserved the win. Silva, I think, is a lil slower ( of course, he is older) but I think if he would have wanted he could have finished Bisping. Again ...good fight. First time ever I don't have to complain about Bisping sucking ass. He can retire in peace now. ;-)

It was the end of the round. Should've been stopped.

You don't have to be stone cold unconscious for it to be a knockout.

That's a knockout. Not TKO.

Mendes continued on after this and fought hard for 4 rounds, he had to be held yup by the fence and the ref.

You're being stupid. If anything is controversial it's that because of Anderson's antics Bisping couldn't even get the cutman in to work on his cut in between rounds.

He was on the ground yes but was talking to herb the whole time. Silva dropped him but I don't think at any point would I call that a KO

He didn't get dropped. Plus that was after the bell.

Oh look Bisping is so knocked out he's pointing to Herb telling him that his mouth piece is over the other side of the cage... wow, so knocked out.

 

[MagnusGOAT]

Also he did get dropped, the cage was there to stop his fall.

That gif is nothing like the heap that Bisping's body was in.

What are you talking about Herb already grabbed the mouthpiece before the knockdown.

 

[MagnusGOAT]

What are you talking about Herb already grabbed the mouthpiece before the knockdown.

Well then he was telling Herb that he should have grabbed the motuh piece and stopped the action. My point being is that he is clearly NOT knocked out.
