totally didn't expect that. Didn't think he had a chance, Rockhold complacent obviously. Silva must feel hard done by as Bisping didn't deserve to be in that octagon tonight.
Silva must feel like a berk for deciding to play referee instead of going for the finish you mean?Was an interesting , even if short fight.
Bisping definitely did the job in finishing the fight.
Rockhold was completely out as he didnt even raise his hands to protect his face when sat against the cage.
I didnt think Bisping would win but im pleased for him, as i believe both Bisping and Rockhold have benefited by those other fighters struggling with no longer taking PEDs.
The post fight conference was another matter, and pretty comical to watch.
im always a bit cynical now, but wasnt sure if the tension between them was purely to hype up a money spinning rematch. Even if its understandable to think theirs going to be obvious tension after a fight.
Some classic Bisping lines afterwards
Overall a fantastic card.

Cant believe Brock Lesnar is going to fight again, awesome news, I did suggest it earlier in this thread but never for a minute thought it could happen.
Although Im not a fan of WWE or Vince Macmahon, I recon he has really stepped up on this to allow a fighter under contract to them to fight elsewhere, although obviously the cross promotion potential will bring in big revenue.
Cant think who it might be against, but that's a decision that will need to be made very carefully not to damage the "Brock" brand, which wouldnt be good for either promotion. I suspect if he does well, and the PPV numbers are high, he'll have another fight in him at some point.
Fun times for MMA, Bisping against all odds won that fight. I was sitting there telling the missus he wouldn't last one round and he goes and gets a knockout!! Who'd have thought it, and with Brock back it has a feel of being less serious and more outrageous, sort of like it was when UFC/Pride were starting off.
