Except he did answer the bell, and the time was only one minute and 30 seconds,.
Ah, THAT'S why people are saying Anderson blew it. Fair enough.

Dude, how many times someone else is KOed, the fight is stopped and the person is back up in less than 1:30 ?Except he did answer the bell, and the time was only one minute and 30 seconds, which actually happens quite frequently. Not everytime does the time actually exactly equal one exact minute. Yes they try to stick to it, but there are a number of times it gets extended for this reason or that. In the end, Bisping answered the begining of the round, and then even won it, so this does not apply here.

That was a great knockdown.. Another example of a round deserving a higher score

if that had happened mid round AS would have a win on his record right now
I don't get why people are saying Anderson blew it by doing the traditional, hackneyed Brazilian postfight celebration instead of finishing Bisping off. The round was absolutely, definitively over directly after he landed the knee. There was no way he could have landed anything on The Count without getting disqualified. How he chose to spend the one minute he had in between rounds was up to him.
Except that Bisping wasn't KO'd. He even brought his hand to the side of his head to defend himself. He was saved by the bell at the best possible time. I mean an extra ten seconds, yeah Silva very well could have easily won with follow up, but he didn't, and ended up even losing the next round. We can't make up new rules as we go along because we don't like the results.
Plenty of fighters have been real hurt and been saved by the bell. hell when machida got his brain implanted through the mat by Rockhold I thought he would never be able to answer the bell either, and IMO was hurt way worse than Bisping was. Difference is Rockhold was able to take it to him the next round and finish it, Silva for some reason couldn't or wouldn't go for the kill.
what rule am i making up?
suppose this was mid round, silva would have been brought down off the cage and would finish bisping inside that round.
i see your points, and respectfully disagree.It wasn't mid round though, it was directly at the bell. As it stands that is the way she does. He didn't have enough time to finish him, then the hoopla started by Silva himself. These things happen, but Silva is to blame for the screw up, if he hadn't of celebrated herb would have looked at Bisping more, and had the doctor check him out. As it stands Bisping was able to start the next round, and even won it. How many times ahve we seen fighters saved by the bell in submissions? Same thing, next time hurt him mid round then.
i see your points, and respectfully disagree.
in my book, silva won that fight either way... 3,4,5 silva!
No worries, I still think Bisping took it, but it is one of those weird fights where I can understand where you are coming from, even though I don't see it that way myself.
Jesus fucking christ fans are desperate to find a way to give him the win.
He fucking lost. That should not have given him a 10-8
Yes and Bispings knockdown in round 2 should also be a 10-8.
