Silva looking far better so far than in the Diaz fight. #ufclondon

Bispings head mvmnt was great in that rnd. Anderson is about as precise a striker as you see & Mike barely slipped some big lefts that rnd

Bisping nearly scored a finish there. This is something else…

No kicks from Anderson is limiting him big time. Great job by Bisping staying focused. #UFCLondon

Bisping striking looks great, most importantly staying just out of range of Anderson’s counters. Causing Mike to miss some but he is patient

I can't believe I'm cheering for @bisping and I can't believe he's about to knock out @SpiderAnderson #UFCLondon

Not over yet but this is why I picked him to win. Silva "be playing" and "not be doing". Not the same chin, not the same speed. #UFCLondon

Anderson finished strong that rnd but too late imo, Bisping up 3-1 on my card

What a FIGHT!!!! #UFCLondon

Give @bisping a title shot in England.
If his 3 fight win streak isn't deserving of it, his career of work is.#UFCLondon— Cathal Pendred (@Pendred) February 27, 2016
Hats off to @bisping. That was the win he's always wanted. Still unbeaten on his home turf.
— Dave Sholler (@Sholler_UFC) February 27, 2016
@bisping is a warrior! You earned that one man #ufcLondon
— Patrick Cummins (@OfficialDurkin) February 27, 2016
Wow! Good for Bisping but thought Anderson had last 3 rounds. He deserved it if you base it on complete effort.
— Chris Weidman (@ChrisWeidmanUFC) February 27, 2016
Holy Shit !!!! What a fucking rip off
