First of all the judging was atrocious, I had it 3-2 for Anderson(didn't even give him the 10-8 for flatlining Bisping in the third). 2 out of 3 writers on Sherdog scored it for Anderson.
Fine I get it, split decision for Bisping would've been controversial but a flush UNANIMOUS Decision shows the terrible Hometown favoring that was going on all night long.
Even then, the fight SHOULD HAVE BEEN STOPPED IN THE THIRD.
For those claiming it was a "cheap shot":
1. Bisping was already wobbled when Anderson knocked the mouthpiece out of his mouth with a clean strike.
2. He used the mouthpiece excuse to try to recover.
3. *Most importantly* Herb Dean clearly tells Bisping to "FIGHT ON" as he's staggered pointing at the mouthpiece.
4. After getting flatlined with the knee, Bisping has NO legs under him and doesn't get up for minutes.
I get people sympathizing with the Underdog Bisping on here as a feel good story but there's nothing to debate here.
Bisping won meaningless hometown scorecards, Anderson won the fight.

Either way here's the clip:
"FIGHT ON"
- Herb Dean
