I'm confused. BBC Three are claiming that they have the UFC fight night live but I cannot find it - Text updates only

Yes, live text updates.

That's the extent on the BBC3 coverage.

I really don't like Silva, he messes around too much.

That was a helluva fight. Total shambles at the end of R3 and don't think I can say much else without giving spoilers.

Fair result for me.
I think Bisping and the ref fked up at the end of the 3rd. Bisping let himself get distracted when he lost is mouthguard and I thought the ref actually called a break when Bisping gestured for it, but the ref was too far away to separate the fighters and Silva was entitled to attack when he did.

For those who doesn't speak Portuguese...


Silva's comments for his home fans "these things sometimes are just like In Brazil, total corruption".

Personally, I thought the result was correct. It's a shame for a cracking fight to be tarnished by bitterness.

Silva pissed around for two rounds and got hit loads of times and easily lost the first 2 rounds. Round 3 was a bit of a close one and Silva finished it strong. My stream was not so great for Round 4 & 5 but Bisping looked like he was hanging in there with his eye and still dazed from the knee.

I expected a split decision and pretty surprised to see a unanimous one. Although it was the right one.

Was that after he copped a finger in the eye?

No, think the time out call was in the 2nd (from memory) and then he carried back on again after calling it
