A flying Knee at 4:59 of the 3rd round. \u00a0Anderson Silva<\/a> thought he had a come from behind walk off KO over Michael Bisping<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Not according to Herb Dean. \u00a0Heres why.<\/p>\n

“That\u2019s the way the mechanic works, is that you replace the mouthpiece during a lull in the action,” Dean said during an appearance on Monday\u2019s edition The MMA Hour.<\/i> “And [Bisping] signaled once, and Anderson was actually in the process of attacking him. For a lot of reasons that are pretty evident you can\u2019t stop to replace the mouthpiece during a heated exchange, and that qualified as a heated exchange.<\/p>\n

“If we were doing that, we\u2019d have guys getting their bell rung, spitting out the mouthpiece to get a little extra time or sometimes you\u2019re feeling a little tired, just spit your mouthpiece out. So obviously we can\u2019t do that in the middle of an exchange.”<\/p>\n

Bisping was ahead on the score cards even after the 3rd round. Bisping found away to win a Unanimous decision.<\/p>\n

Bisping blames the stitches on Herb Dean but the mouth piece falling out was on him.<\/p>\n

Herb is justified in what he did citing the rule book and before the fight all fighters are warned to protect them selves at all times.<\/p>\n

“That instruction was given [Bisping] him in the dressing room, and that instruction was also given to him again\u2026right before the match started,” Dean said. “I told him, protect yourself at all times, that\u2019s what I told both the fighters. And they know that that\u2019s their responsibility.<\/p>\n

“At the same time, an MMA match is very stressful and a lot weird things happen. People do a lot of strange things, it\u2019s a stressful situation, and you do things that you look back on and think, \u2018why did I do that?\u2019 So I don\u2019t know why he did that. But it\u2019s in the rules, it\u2019s actually a written mechanic that was added to the rules, I don\u2019t know, maybe six years ago. So we\u2019ve been doing it, but it\u2019s actually also in writing in the Unified Rules, that the referee is to wait for a lull in the action to replace the mouthpiece.”<\/p>\n

Herb assessed Bisping after the bell rang-\u00a0“Well, [Silva] hit him with the knee and dropped him, and then he walked off and started to celebrate,” he said. “He had been dropped, but you know, in MMA we don\u2019t stop the match just because someone gets dropped. I saw that when he fell he was not unconscious. He was facing Anderson. Anderson didn\u2019t give him a threat to protect himself from, but \u2014 I don\u2019t want to start playing what if, what if he attacked and whatnot \u2014 the bottom line is he didn\u2019t attack. The round ended and, because Anderson was celebrating, there was some confusion as to what was going on.<\/p>\n

“But I never had any confusion. I knew that I hadn\u2019t stopped the match and that the match was going to continue.”<\/p>\n

When Silva started celebrating and his corner came into the cage Herb Dean never lost his cool.
\n“I wasn\u2019t really that worried about that because, it was pandemonium and of course I can\u2019t run around and start yelling at everyone to get out of the cage, there was just too many people,” he said. “But, what I did do is I let people know that the fight wasn\u2019t over. And eventually, once I started expressing that it wasn\u2019t over to the right people \u2014 the inspectors, the fighters \u2014 that order was going to be restored and we\u2019d continue with the match.<\/p>\n

When Herb was told Bisping blamed him for the stitches Dean said it’s possible the Bisping didn’t didn’t understand the mechanics.
\n“Well, I don\u2019t know, maybe he\u2019s not aware of the rules,” he said. “A lot of fighters, most of them real the fouls but they don\u2019t read all the rules on the mechanics. Maybe he wasn\u2019t aware of that. But the rule is to replace the mouthpiece during a lull in the action.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
