Blood is pouring into bispings only working eye and he still continues to press forward, wiping the blood away between punches and blocks. One of the best fighters, ever
What makes it crazier is that he could’ve lost his other eye im glad he retired before anything happened because each fight after was 50/50 chance of losin his eyesight
Glad Bisping whooped that Juicer and people mostly Silva fans saying he wasnt on roids are delusional hw failed in 2015 twice which was a fight before Bisping and then failed next year after bisping whopped Silva it is clearly Silva was juiced as up he failed 3 times for roids more then Jon Jones
this has been uploaded before, cause i seen this multiple times. But hey I'm not complaining. I JUST watched the whole fight again, no skipping and i know EXACTLY how the fight ends. Good fight
Crazy. Your depth perception is much more vague without both eyes because they work together. I'm sure you get used to it but man, Bisping is a legend.
The match should've been stopped, because bisping wasn't doing a damn thang, his punches had zero power in them before he took knee tobthe face and after that he was just good at wiping blood from his face and eyes, what kind of match is this,nobody wants to see a lion 🦁 toying around with a baby wilderbeast
awesome fight, also a very weird fight. eyepokes, groin strikes, Bisping poking his own eye to try to get the blood out during the fight, Silva casting spells and being a wax statue on the fence, vicious knee on the buzzer while Bisping is focused on getting his mouth piece back. Incredible and incredibly insane.
This fuckin fight...Pause it at 22:45 and you can clearly see something is wrong with his right eye, blood is pouring from the other side of his face, yet he kept going. The fact this man was willing to fight multiple people, let alone such a legend as Anderson with only one eye is nothing short of fucking legendary. This isn't even mentioning all the other injuries and surgeries he's recovered from. My number one fav and definitely one of the best fighters in any combat sport, full stop. 27:08 face covered in blood, smiles with a thumbs up. Doctor asks; "Can you see?" And he just says "yeah, yeah" Guy is something else.
And he seems to be a really nice guy and family man too. All the hard work played out for him. He’s technically never been the best fighter but he had heart and grit.
@@davequag2795This shit again, "bro" his eye is there, just unusable. A glass eye is not a sphere sitting in someone eye socket, it's just a glass cover. I was pointing out that from the POV of someone watching the fight at the time, they wouldn't have known for sure that Bisping had lost the use of his eye. Here's a nifty example; YOU may still have a brain, but you clearly can't use yours.
Anderson is amazing fighter but I hate how he’s always toying around and just takes unnecessary shots that he knows he could easily evade. He threw this fight away.
It's actually crazy how Bisping got better the older he got. This fight is just amazing. Silva plays too much and it's nice to see Bisping so serious and focused and not willing to quit. Respect the grit.
Apparemment ce combat à Londres a été jugé par des juges anglais. Il est évident pour n'importe quel juge professionnel honnête que Silva a gagné 4 rounds sur 5. Cette décision est une honte !
@Greg Scott Yet those piss poor burger flippers at mcdonalds want an unwarranted wage increase for burning my 1 annual McGriddle. I never thought burning premade pancakes was possible. And the fact that they wrapped that bitch up and tried to charge me $3 for it smfh
This is the definition of a real fight. This has all the ups and downs of the fight game. Eye pokes, nut shots & knock downs. Crazy blood everywhere a stand up fight. So many crazy ass moments. This should be in the hall of fame if it isnt.
Idk.. Apart from that brutal knee, Silva just doing this stupid stuff, without any kind of damage. Edit: the Front kick in R5. But still..that's so much wasted time and energy..
Bisping got destroyed. Credit to him for trying and getting some punches through, but he needed an ambulance by the end. Whose body would you rather be in? No way Silva lost this.
Got two rounds into his recap of the fight. Thought 'woa woa woa, i don't remember it being that one sided'. Came here to rewatch it. Scored it 1, 2 and 4 to Bisping, 3 and 5 to Silva. Not sure why i thought he was gifted that win by London judges. Maybe if Bisping had an actual cut man or at least a towel between rounds there'd have been no doubt. Going to finish the recap now.
@@BD-pp7un I'm not soft, genius. As a fight coach, I always told my fighters not to talk shit before their fights - it looks weak and soft. A fighter doesn't have to use words, nor is he scared of words. I'm sorry if you don't quite grasp that.

@@gregoryretzepis1798 I still remember being hyped up for the Silva vs Sonnen fight in 2010 I wanted Chael to win so badly :( 2010 timeline of UFC was something special, so many hall of famers in that time period
@Miklo you have no idea what youre talking about lol he WAS the best for a long time. One of the longest reigning champs in UFC history. He destroyed only top contenders. Thats what champions do. Face the best and keep winning. "Always lost to the best" hahaha my god that was stupid of you. He's just old now. Thats when he started to truly lose. Time beats every man. You must be a kid who barely got into MMA trying to sound cool.
Something I've not seen anyone mention is how in the second round, silva clearly poked Mike in his good eye, realized it, then tried to call time for Mike because Mike was too tough to admit he got poked. The sportsmanship of silva and the toughness of Mike is astonishing
I just saw that too and scrolled down to see if anyone noticed it. Silva showed some serious class there, even risking getting punched by turning to the ref to try and pause it.
but when he was losing the fight... decided to forget all of his sportsmanship and fly knee Bisping when he was asking for his mouthpiece ... and then tried to call the fight over himself
@@malakian3243 I mean to be fair, if there's a massive language barrier and you don't understand what your opponent says, he's wide open, then you hit what essentially is a walk off flying knee right as the bell wrang I'd say most in that situation would think it was over too. Not the right call and I'm glad Bisping won, but just the observation

This is one of the most satisfying fights of all time.. Bispbing grinding out a win against an absolute legend, showing what heart and determination and grit can accomplish. Amazing
You're are some kind of idiot for mentioning this comment and the same goes for people liking your comment . He had minimal vision from that eye but it was working a little till his retirement nevertheless. Doctors wouldn't have allowed his fights to happen if he lost the vision in his left eye.
@@iLikeRantingStaySalty "Saying yes to some specific question" joke is so common on the internet that its nearly not believable that you are actually accusing me of copying..
Although they were losses, this and the Adesanya fight were probably Silva's last great performances. Yet he fought two more top guys after Adesanya, and fought nothing but the best beforehand. He continued on beyond his prime because he loved it so much, and I feel that should add to his legacy instead of take away from it. True legend of the sport.
@@chasefrye7381 I think hes saying his skid after his prime, in those two fights you could really see the old Anderson shining through here n there. Obviously his title reign are his best performances 🤦🏽♂️, YOU gotto be 10 years old to not understand the statement
As an Englishman I’m beyond proud of what Bisping has done for himself! Absolute legend! Both are absolute warriors and for me this was one of my favourite fights!
Bisping should’ve been more appreciated while he was fighting. He is the true definition of persistence, because no one at the time towards the end of his career think he was going to be champion, then he proved everyone wrong.
USADA disappears - Bisping takes the crown and GSP comes back out of retirement to take it back lol! Bisping and GSP are two guys I think may very well have been clean their whole careers.
Yes it's just not the same atmosphere at all. Very flat. Not sure if it would be better or worse with fake noises like the premiership. Fecking kung flu sucks man.
@@eman22017Silva had more decisive shots and overall damage was greater on bisping, had the fight continued bisping would not be able to for long…only idiots think bisping won the fight
7:31 Pokes Bisping in what we now know is his glass eye. The Count is like, nah I'm good! Silva had to be a little confused there. No wonder he took losing his mouth guard so seriously.
@@C6Z_Bob It happened some time in 2013, this fight took place in 2016. Also, I can usually tell because his right eye lid naturally became more relaxed and he turns his head slightly to the right so his left eye is more centered to see his opponent's left limbs.
Back in Bispings true heel days(pre USADA) he was notorious for duty moves like kneeing people on the ground(I'm pretty sure there's at least two cases) and his fair share of eye pokes
@@E1530-f6b while this is true. It’s irrelevant drivel. This is the best performance Silva had post-championship. It’s the only one he really showed up for. Yes he was out of his prime. But so was Bisping, he had one fucking eye, once you lose an eye your prime is over. The bias towards Silva over this fight is still ridiculous to this day. He lost. He was out worked on points. And dropped twice early. 3-2 for Bisping was perfectly scored.
One of my favorite fights, only because I love both fighters and their personality shines through the bout. Mikes tenacity is contrasted by Silvia’s relaxed nature, the attempted hug after the bell got me.
@JOEL AND ELLIE DIE in the last of us 2 yeaah! I tried closing my eye and doing some shadow boxing and I had no idea of my arms' length or where tf I was shooting, it's way harder than people expect.
@@pentz1 silva was taking it serious you dummy he was on a horrible losing streak was on roids and was 5 rounds Bisping whipped Silva on roids wasn't closw
@@DocMario One of the telling factors is the hands. They come down to catch the fall, which shows that the fighter is still conscious. These are Big John’s words.
@xxxTennisballs the bell actually rang like immediately after so he didn't rlly get the chance. It's crazy to me how Bisping just ate that knee and won the rest of the fight though. Man is a true gladiator.
Watching this fight in England knowing Bisping only has one real eye and watching blood pour into his good eye in the fifth round is absolutely amazing and gives me chills. Anderson is a Legend coming back from snapping his leg in half almost finishing Bisping at one point. This fight is nuts.
man i hate it when fighters do that. "protect yourself at all times.", yet they constantly turn their head away to look at the ref over something, completely letting their guard down and they get hit almost every time. all he had to do was stay focused for 2 more seconds and he never would have gotten caught by that knee. it's like the one mistake these fighters can't seem to stop making no matter how many times it happens.
Was there a good amount of people in the crowd rooting for Silva? It wouldn’t surprise me if people flew from Brazil to London just to see Anderson lol
Silvas leg is actually stronger now, has titanium rods and theres training footage of him after he recovered kicking bags as hard or harder than he was before
@@korzer I've got them after a compound fracture after motorbike crash, can confirm you can kick just as hard as ever with rods in your leg. Hurts in cold weather after a while but nothing serious. You bones actually fuse stronger after snapping them. The pain of a compound fracture is other worldly.
@@michaelb4538 after a spiral fracture on my tibia and a broken fibia a few years go, I was very worried about the durability of my leg especially as it is my left and as a southpaw I rely very much on body/arm/calf kicks. Never really found a definitive answer so I am glad to hear this.
If it wasn't for the dropped mouth guard. And Bisping trying to get the reffs attention. Then taking that knee off of the mistake. I think he would have dominated the fight otherwise, Bispings gas tank was legendary.
Have followed Bispings career and have seen him develop into the elite class of fighter he is today. He is a skilled warrior and a true technician. He definitely has command in the octagon, what's called ring generalship, combine that with the heart of a lion and you have the well rounded veteran fighter Michael Bispings is today. A true warrior.
Spider just took pity of this local fighter who cant even push an opponent lying on the cage with his back hardly standing after beating.. and he lost... what a pathetic island...
He deserves the recognition for his way to the title but his time as champion was horrible. Instead of the number one contenders, you know, the people the champion is supposed to fight, he fought a 46 year old henderson and then waited out for a money fight against a welterweight who was moving up and hadn't fought in 4 years instead of Romero or Jacare.
@@condonsutherland1059 Well listen he definitely ducked Yoel but the UFC chose Hendo to fight him, he didn’t, he just agreed, and GSP was a true challenge and it would bring him buckets of cash, that’s why he kinda ducked Bobby, it was too risky to fight a serious threat to his title when he could wait for GSP.
@@JRF1004 I understand that but I don't think he could call himself the best in the world when Whittaker and Yoel were doing the champions job of fighting the number one contenders. And then later in some podcast or something I was watching Bisping said that Whittaker was never the real MW champion he was just the interim champ.

@@gelloca2813 goes by rounds bro, not a championship fight, if Anderson was champ then he would’ve won, bisping won three of those rounds. Anderson started tearing him apart the last two rounds though. And was never fatigued
@@chodysseus420 look at Bisping. Knackered, worn out and battered. I love Bisping, a deserved Hall of fame legend. One of the finest and with a heart of a lion. He is also one of the best pundits the UFC have been lucky to have. But he lost this fight hands down. Look at how he drops down to support himself on his knees every time the round ends. He was folded up and left crumpled, silva stupidly did not finish him off and once again the not so legendary Herb Dean confused the fuck out of everybody and commanded no authority I'm the ring whatsoever. Maybe he is smart and confused Silva to give Bisping time to recover being that it was in London and all... I'm sorry but that shit was robbery
Bisping is the definition of a fighter. No crazy cardio genetics, not gifted a chin of steel, just a warrior's heart. This and beating Luke for the belt were fights he would never win on paper. But when you get in the cage with a real fighter anything can happen
@@austinarmstrong9729 are you saying that was his genetics? Because I'm saying it was his work ethic and I would say you aren't very smart if you think it was just his elite genetics lmao.
@mysoggypants101 well my boy. Everyone has different genetics. Some people have great cardio without doing any cardio, and some people run out of breath after walking 2 levels of stairs. Bisping is somewhere in between but definitely not a genetic freak of nature
@@cameronbachman8161 well you see guy, Bisping had the lowest resting heart rate in the UFC. And had great control over reducing that heart rate in-between rounds. So for you to go on about cardio genetics and not know or mention that, is quite fascinating. But no one doubts the work horse that is Michael "the count" Bisping. Also thought maybe you specialized in genealogy with your expert like statement.
Yeah, but his hits were little BITCH hits, and he couldn’t draw blood 🩸 or leave a mark on Anderson Silva. And it’s like, one more round of that and Bisping was finished. His little cheap points meant shit to me. The audience.
@@bo-hn8xz rigghttt. I know its not that cut and dry, but clearly bisping took wayyyy more damage, and silva was easily the fresher fighter at the end.
@@jaseallenson316 Lmaoo imagine thinking a fight should be scored on who looks fresher at the end of the fight. Bisping won three rounds so he won. thats it
People talk about the diaz brothers or Masvidal as the BMF.Bisping is the real BMF, after losing a eye for the sport most people would give up. This is a price most fighters would not pay for the belt. Bisping came back, had his best run, beat Anderson Silva(his first clean UFC loss) and fought gsp. A true warrior
I think this particular fight..is the greatest performance of any UFC fighter. Bisping was hurt...he was morally down after that knee...but still he pulls it off. Certainly GOAT
Bisping was clearly winning the fight before the knee to the face. I forgot just how good he was technically, what a champion! Then to do this with one eye only adds to the legend! 💯
Agreed...Bisping won the first 3 pretty clearly and Silva won the last 2...If it was a fight to te death, Silva would have won because e was still fresh by Bisping deserved this win 100%...I'm nota fan of either but much respect forboth.
I agree. Bisping was right when he talked about asking for his mouthpiece back. The only reason he asked was because there was a break in the action like the gane Lewis fight. Still credit to Silva and a great fight!
@@nvm356 If not for Herb's bad reffing causing Bisping to point out he lost his mouthpiece, Silva wouldn't have gotten that fight altering cheap shot and gotten whooped 50-45.
A battle of the ages. This was probably the last fight of what I remember as the glory days of the UFC middleweight division. You had all those gifted, freakishly tough bastards in the octagon who were also relatively well rounded. Not as rounded as today, but those guys 15 years ago were just.. animals walking among us.
Lol How was it dirty? Bisping let his guard down, the ref hadn't stopped it, and there was time on the clock when Anderson initiated the move. Not to mention Anderson didn't get a point deduction or even a warning. Just because you don't like something doesn't mean it was wrong.
@salvadorvigil215 I didn't realize "morality" was one of the rules in an MMA fight, must be right after "protect yourself at all times" , but maybe morality is a judges criteria like "octagon control" and that's the reason Bisping won, cuz he got his ass kicked
Even kicked in Bisping's balls,eye poked and also the way Silva acted like he doesn't really know that Bisping's mouth guard dropped on the ground Yeah Silva was not in his very Prime but Bisping fought with one eye true gladiator 😀🔥
@@fortracing9209 Maybe he is a clown but he beat the shit out Bisping. Bisping knows he lost that fight but being the true loser he is he acted as though he deserved it. Bisping is the definition of a TRUE LOSER!

"All three judges, Ben Cartlidge, Jeff Mullen, and Andy Roberts, scored it the same: 48-47 Bisping, with The Count taking rounds one, two, and four. "What did the numbers say? "The striking stats reflect the judges scoring accurately. Bisping had a considerable advantage in significant strikes in rounds one (17-8), two (24-11), and four (28-19), while Silva had the knockdown in the third and battled Bisping to a near standstill in the fourth (19-18 Silva). In the second round, Bisping was credited with a knockdown. "Bisping just threw a lot more than Silva. He landed 108 of 316 significant strikes compared to Silva’s 75 of 135. Bisping had the advantage in head (58-47) and leg (38-13) strikes. Silva held a narrow advantage in body strikes (15-12)."
31:09 … he might have hit him more but come on… who actually lost? Silva walked away with another 5 rounds left in him, no scratches on him. I do agree Micheal controlled the fight in the first 2.5 rounds but there’s no way he won this fight…. Insane
18:04 legendary moment! That's what it means to be a champion in the heart! Despite everything, became a champion! Proved not only to everyone, but to yourself!" You can lose a round, lose a fight, lose a title, but you must not lose to yourself and must not give up! "
@@leonmorales5744 you're saying Bisping clearly lost right? I mean, I thought it was pretty self explanatory just by the looks of Bisping's bloody face.

I miss this era, especially when these guys were still in their primes. Both were beasts back in the day. That one knee literally opened up four or five cuts on Bispings face. That’s over a decade of scar tissue accumulated from a career of wars. I have never witnessed a boring Bisping fight whether he won or lost. He was one of those guys you might have started out hating, but after a few years, you just want to see him finally become a champion after getting so close so many times. Thankfully, he pulled it off by defeating 3 future HOFers in a row with one eye, and giving GSP a really good fight as well despite losing. I noticed in the GSP fight, Bisping was winning, but he couldn’t see that quick left hook GSP put on him with his damaged right eye. Once you get dropped by GSP, it’s usually over, even if you are good at getting back to your feet from the guard.
Silva looks like a regular guy from the office. Some people are just born with a talent for something. And then there are guys like Bisping, who just work their asses off to achieve something. Great fight.
I dunno there was a lot of standing around TBH. I didn't think so the first time I watched but Bisbing really did out work him and legitimately rocked him, twice, during exchanges.

This is the definition of a real fight. This has all the ups and downs of the fight game. Eye pokes, nut shots & knock downs. Crazy blood everywhere a stand up fight. So many crazy ass moments. This should be in the hall of fame if it isnt.
Idk.. Apart from that brutal knee, Silva just doing this stupid stuff, without any kind of damage.
Edit: the Front kick in R5. But still..that's so much wasted time and energy..
Bisping got destroyed. Credit to him for trying and getting some punches through, but he needed an ambulance by the end. Whose body would you rather be in?

Checkpoint for those who're back here after Bisping's incredible recount of this legendary fight!
Got two rounds into his recap of the fight. Thought 'woa woa woa, i don't remember it being that one sided'. Came here to rewatch it. Scored it 1, 2 and 4 to Bisping, 3 and 5 to Silva. Not sure why i thought he was gifted that win by London judges. Maybe if Bisping had an actual cut man or at least a towel between rounds there'd have been no doubt. Going to finish the recap now.
Yup lol
The fight just got so much more exciting!

@Miklo you have no idea what youre talking about lol he WAS the best for a long time. One of the longest reigning champs in UFC history. He destroyed only top contenders. Thats what champions do. Face the best and keep winning. "Always lost to the best" hahaha my god that was stupid of you. He's just old now. Thats when he started to truly lose. Time beats every man. You must be a kid who barely got into MMA trying to sound cool.
Something I've not seen anyone mention is how in the second round, silva clearly poked Mike in his good eye, realized it, then tried to call time for Mike because Mike was too tough to admit he got poked. The sportsmanship of silva and the toughness of Mike is astonishing
I just saw that too and scrolled down to see if anyone noticed it. Silva showed some serious class there, even risking getting punched by turning to the ref to try and pause it.
but when he was losing the fight... decided to forget all of his sportsmanship and fly knee Bisping when he was asking for his mouthpiece ... and then tried to call the fight over himself

Although they were losses, this and the Adesanya fight were probably Silva's last great performances. Yet he fought two more top guys after Adesanya, and fought nothing but the best beforehand. He continued on beyond his prime because he loved it so much, and I feel that should add to his legacy instead of take away from it. True legend of the sport.

O damn lol that’s hilarious good catch
If I remember correctly, that was before he got a glass eye. I think he said that on his podcast one time.
It wasn't a glass eye back then.
@@C6Z_Bob It happened some time in 2013, this fight took place in 2016. Also, I can usually tell because his right eye lid naturally became more relaxed and he turns his head slightly to the right so his left eye is more centered to see his opponent's left limbs.
Back in Bispings true heel days(pre USADA) he was notorious for duty moves like kneeing people on the ground(I'm pretty sure there's at least two cases) and his fair share of eye pokes
Bisping knew the greatness of Anderson Silva. In his book he described him as the Ali of the UFC at one point. This win made it that much sweeter
@@E1530-f6b while this is true. It’s irrelevant drivel. This is the best performance Silva had post-championship. It’s the only one he really showed up for. Yes he was out of his prime. But so was Bisping, he had one fucking eye, once you lose an eye your prime is over. The bias towards Silva over this fight is still ridiculous to this day. He lost. He was out worked on points. And dropped twice early. 3-2 for Bisping was perfectly scored.
One of my favorite fights, only because I love both fighters and their personality shines through the bout.
Mikes tenacity is contrasted by Silvia’s relaxed nature, the attempted hug after the bell got me.
So he gave this performance with a single eye?
Warrior!!
@JOEL AND ELLIE DIE in the last of us 2 yeaah! I tried closing my eye and doing some shadow boxing and I had no idea of my arms' length or where tf I was shooting, it's way harder than people expect.

Bisping: immediately looks up and starts talking after the knee.

@@DocMario One of the telling factors is the hands. They come down to catch the fall, which shows that the fighter is still conscious. These are Big John’s words.
@@thomas8539 ahhh didn’t really catch that, looks like he went limp for a second but I can’t actually tell now
@@DocMario your body can shut down for a second if you take a heavy shot like that but he was clearly not out. Dude was more pissed than hurt tbh XD.
@xxxTennisballs the bell actually rang like immediately after so he didn't rlly get the chance. It's crazy to me how Bisping just ate that knee and won the rest of the fight though. Man is a true gladiator.
Watching this fight in England knowing Bisping only has one real eye and watching blood pour into his good eye in the fifth round is absolutely amazing and gives me chills. Anderson is a Legend coming back from snapping his leg in half almost finishing Bisping at one point. This fight is nuts.
Facts bro, 2013 was a bad year for both of them but three years later they gave a a fight worth remembering
man i hate it when fighters do that. "protect yourself at all times.", yet they constantly turn their head away to look at the ref over something, completely letting their guard down and they get hit almost every time. all he had to do was stay focused for 2 more seconds and he never would have gotten caught by that knee. it's like the one mistake these fighters can't seem to stop making no matter how many times it happens.

He deserves the recognition for his way to the title but his time as champion was horrible. Instead of the number one contenders, you know, the people the champion is supposed to fight, he fought a 46 year old henderson and then waited out for a money fight against a welterweight who was moving up and hadn't fought in 4 years instead of Romero or Jacare.
@@condonsutherland1059 Well listen he definitely ducked Yoel but the UFC chose Hendo to fight him, he didn’t, he just agreed, and GSP was a true challenge and it would bring him buckets of cash, that’s why he kinda ducked Bobby, it was too risky to fight a serious threat to his title when he could wait for GSP.
@@JRF1004 I understand that but I don't think he could call himself the best in the world when Whittaker and Yoel were doing the champions job of fighting the number one contenders.

It’s in the rules. Weird for a pro to forget the rules and whine mid round. Wouldn’t have been me tho
Bisping is a hero. So is Silva, but I just love how Bisping is a tank.
He lost an eyeball to entertain us , that's sacrifice
Bisping is a loudmouth blowhard,full of himself,and pretentious!
@@carybrown3192 not really, he is just smart enough to know how to sell a fight, and Americans don't understand English humour.
@@carybrown3192 awful take
how much of a tank was he to tha knee🤣🤣🤣🤣
An absolutely spectacular fight
*looks at your profile picture* ...A fellow man of culture.
15 days to go stay strong
Andrej Issitt You're very brave to be having that as your profile pic these days...
Spectacular, indeed. Now watch the fight with 1 eye closed
Bisping whooped that silva bum
Silva laughing and turning away after Official Decission😂😂
he knew he won
Cause that decision was laughable.
Comedy
@@falsteethmike his face was like red mashed potatoes..
Anderson silva is a washed up now. Dude lost so ya'll silva fans can suck it X
27:16
Doctor: can you see?
Bisping: yeah yeah
Doctor: good
😂 I love it
Even kicked in Bisping's balls,eye poked and also the way Silva acted like he doesn't really know that Bisping's mouth guard dropped on the ground Yeah Silva was not in his very Prime but Bisping fought with one eye true gladiator 😀🔥
Silva knew the mouth piece was out. Silva is not obligated to stop fighting lol
He was a dirty mf in this fight and I'm glad Bisping won, despite almost getting KO'ed by a cheapshot.
@@LOMU925 especially when he's currently applying pressure and has a chance to end the fight. Bisping clearly didn't understand that.
tbf only chris weidman had beaten the silva that we know (ignoring very early losses in his career) at this point
@@moistman3110 because the ref is supposed to step in bad job on the ref and Anderson Silva was wrong for that
The only fighter to survive a legitimate KO and go on to win a fight. Bisbing is the true BMF

With one eye and no roids.
Barry and Congo though
@@mauripekkarinen1 Incredible
Ever watched kongo vs barry
That celebration by Michael at the end always gives me chills. He busted his ass for that win
Facts, one of my favorite Bisping moments, along with getting up from that knee and choosing to gts against Gsp.
he didnot win, they just handed over the win to him.
@@amlivinginhell True, that was as bad of a decision as I have ever seen. The fight was a gift.
@@toddb2537 have you lost your mind Silva is a clown
@@fortracing9209 Maybe he is a clown but he beat the shit out Bisping. Bisping knows he lost that fight but being the true loser he is he acted as though he deserved it. Bisping is the definition of a TRUE LOSER!
Respect bisping💪💪💪
Bisping fighting Silva with one eye and the other covered in blood.
If he's not a Legend i don't know what he is.
Silva was on steroids aswell
@billy boy he won 1,2, 4. Got his ass beaten in 2 e 3 but on points he won. Face it
@billy boy "Who is busted up" is not how fights are SCORED. Face it.
@billy boy bisping won 1,2,4 and bisping knocked him down so Anderson also got beat up
@billy boy Your an idiot fights are not scored by being (busted up)..
This dude said *"Michael Bisping"* like 1,479 times..
Plus if you add how many "bisping" and "michael" it would be like 2,767 times
It’s almost like he’s a professional UFC fight commentator! 🤷🏻♂️
Biased commentators
Robbery
But theres 16 quadrents! Annd only 6 Micheal Bispings, there can only be one Micheal Bisping in one quadrent at one time, but time's runnin' out. This summer, Micheal Bisping is Micheal Bisping in Micheal Bisping's quadrent control climb.
Please help. I’ve watched 13 full fights today and I have to study 😭
Did you pass?
@@bryanlizardi1222 taking this certification in a couple weeks 😈 been a long three months of studying
Good luck bro! Who do you got tonight? Dustin or Connor?
@@Urdad____ yo thanks dude!! I appreciate it! Also, I’m a basic boy so I’m siding with Connor. Either way though I’m hoping for a good show! Hbu??
@@jw1ck I feel it bro, I’m going DASTIN 4th round finish. 🤝
"All three judges, Ben Cartlidge, Jeff Mullen, and Andy Roberts, scored it the same: 48-47 Bisping, with The Count taking rounds one, two, and four.
"What did the numbers say?
"The striking stats reflect the judges scoring accurately. Bisping had a considerable advantage in significant strikes in rounds one (17-8), two (24-11), and four (28-19), while Silva had the knockdown in the third and battled Bisping to a near standstill in the fourth (19-18 Silva). In the second round, Bisping was credited with a knockdown.
"Bisping just threw a lot more than Silva. He landed 108 of 316 significant strikes compared to Silva’s 75 of 135. Bisping had the advantage in head (58-47) and leg (38-13) strikes. Silva held a narrow advantage in body strikes (15-12)."
31:09 … he might have hit him more but come on… who actually lost? Silva walked away with another 5 rounds left in him, no scratches on him. I do agree Micheal controlled the fight in the first 2.5 rounds but there’s no way he won this fight…. Insane
eye pokes, groin shots, flying knee to the head-this is a real fight
disabled guy
Don't forget biting and spitting
@randy K15 strong words for a middle aged keyboard warrior
@Bravo 4 You get it
😂😂😂he saying a fight like on Baki y'all need to watch
18:04 legendary moment! That's what it means to be a champion in the heart! Despite everything, became a champion! Proved not only to everyone, but to yourself!" You can lose a round, lose a fight, lose a title, but you must not lose to yourself and must not give up! "
You must not lose yourself! Damn, that hit hard reading this.
Pretty speech, but he lost this fight, clearly
@@leonmorales5744 you're saying Bisping clearly lost right? I mean, I thought it was pretty self explanatory just by the looks of Bisping's bloody face. Yeah he's tough, but that doesn't mean you win just because you take all that damage. The decision is supposed to be based on points which Silva clearly scored more landed punches.
@@christopherwalker6056 decision is based on who won more rounds. You can land a lot more strikes but if you lose 3 rounds it’s gg
you obviously dont know what youre talking about lol, silvva lost both rounds 1/2 and was knocked down in both. and he lost round 5.. 3 rounds to 2.. @@christopherwalker6056
Bisping's fighting AND commentating? What a badass
lmao
I miss this era, especially when these guys were still in their primes. Both were beasts back in the day. That one knee literally opened up four or five cuts on Bispings face. That’s over a decade of scar tissue accumulated from a career of wars. I have never witnessed a boring Bisping fight whether he won or lost. He was one of those guys you might have started out hating, but after a few years, you just want to see him finally become a champion after getting so close so many times. Thankfully, he pulled it off by defeating 3 future HOFers in a row with one eye, and giving GSP a really good fight as well despite losing. I noticed in the GSP fight, Bisping was winning, but he couldn’t see that quick left hook GSP put on him with his damaged right eye. Once you get dropped by GSP, it’s usually over, even if you are good at getting back to your feet from the guard.
I’ll never understand how they let this fight go on, and didn’t let Nate go on against Masvidal.
Because Bisping was winning and his cut position wasn't particularly harmful, Diaz was getting battered and blood was flooding into his eye
@@Khonnell66 bisping was wiping out his eye ever 10 seconds lol
New York Commission are very strict with these cuts.. That's why they stopped Nate..
U can't hurt the eye if u have no eye
@@saurabhpandey7828 Checkmate.
Silva looks like a regular guy from the office. Some people are just born with a talent for something. And then there are guys like Bisping, who just work their asses off to achieve something. Great fight.
Lol Silva just born with that talent? That’s the funniest thing I’ve heard.
you really think silva didnt work his ass off?
@@josephomalley7628 lol mans really said silva looks like some dude from an office lmao
8:41 that elbow, and nobody seems to have seen it
I had to slow that down to 0.25 to see it
Good eye, I've watched this fight twice before and never noticed that. Even later in his career Anderson's movement is so smooth.
I did, it was clean!
I had replayed it 3 times to notice. Great eye dude.
Silva was always on another level.
This was the last fight that Anderson still looked like his old self
I actually thought he got robbed
No hes past his prime in this fight. He hasnt looked like the real prime silva since 2012
Not at all dude. He is so past his prime here
I dunno there was a lot of standing around TBH. I didn't think so the first time I watched but Bisbing really did out work him and legitimately rocked him, twice, during exchanges.
Not really Silva is past his prime. He has very little offense and strategy here
Silva: "Hey guys, let's get weird."
