round 1- Bisping keeps the 2-feet distance range from Silva whenever he's stalking him and whenever he's stepping back. Anderson tried to do that wing chun stuff and Bisping saw through the hand movements and connected with the right. Then Silva started throwing haymakers trying to get the KO and Bisping answered by almost knocking him down.
10-9 Bisping.
2nd round- Silva gets even more clownish- dances around, sets up his rhythm. Bisping steps in and gives him another sandwich. Knocks him down, follows him to the ground- grounds and pounds him for the rest of the round.
The barrage wasn't as brutal as it looked when I watched it live but Silva clearly go wobbled and peppered up on the ground.
Bisping doing great with basics- Silva being weird as fuck.
10-9 Bisping.
3rd round- Silva was creating the conditions for a (T)KO. Bisping was trapped against the cage by the end. The (T)KO shot was coming but Bisping tried to get a break with the mouthpiece crap. Ironically it set him up for the flying knee. He was probably out for 1-2 seconds before regaining consciousness. These are my impressions.
If Bisping didn't cry about the mouthpiece I think Anderson would have put him down with a hard shot and unloaded a barrage of shots on the ground before the bell would have saved Bisping.
If Anderson didn't celebrate prematurely as if the fight was over Bisping wouldn't have had such a long time to recover and Anderson would have put him away in the 4th (my impression).
Both were foolish in this scenario. Both were dirty and opportunistic (my impression).
10-8 Anderson.
round 4 now.
Anderson keeps shooting himself in the foot.
Starts the round out slowly giving Bisping a minute to regain his senses.
Kicks Bisping in the nuts when Bisping is getting wild with combinations Anderson who's leaning on the cage.
Puts his own back to the cage again to do that shit he did against Bonnar and Bisping ignores it and lights him up.
Bisping gets a world-class eyepoke in.
Bisping with those 3-4 light punch combinations again and again.
Anderson ends the fight with the 3 hardest punches of the rounds.
Bisping still gets the round with pure volume (my impression).
10-9 Bisping.
39-37. I think this should be clear to everyone (my impression).
One observation I made is that most of Bisping's successful combinations against Anderson follow either a low kick or a stomp kick (which is another kind of low kick...)
5th round- blood pouring out Bisping's face. Herb pauses the fight to give Bisping a chance to clean it when he's 2 feet away from Anderson. Silva lands 2 NICE front kicks to Bisping's face- wobbling him with both.
10-9 Anderson.
Fight ends 48-47 Bisping.

I think Bisping clearly won 3 rounds.
I can understand how someone would think round 4 was close- since the 3 hardest punches that landed were delivered from Anderson. I just don't think they were hard enough to overshadow the huge volume advantage Bisping had over Anderson.
I can also understand how someone would think Anderson won damage-wise. Personally I don't that matters much considering the dubious conditions of the knee in the 3rd round (the most devastating strike of the fight).
Scoring-wise I think this fight is very similar to Gustafsson/Cormier (Cormier outclassed Gustafsson volume-wise but Gustafsson almost put Cormier's lights out with the knee).
10-9 Bisping.
