Just finished watching the fights, started late so I guess I'm a tad late to this party too.

My 2 cents.

I think Anderson won

Rounds 1 and 2 were bisping's.

Even though Bisping "won" round 3, being knocked out and saved by the bell has to lose you the round unless you completely dominated it. If you're just up by points and get sent to hell and given the opportunity to come back, you'd lose the round if I were judging the fight.

Round 4 was Anderson's (again, Bisping slightly up by points, but Anderson really hurting him on almost every time he touched him).

Round 5 was a 10-8. Bisping barely survived, that counts as an 8 points round, imo.

All in all, a pretty fun card and good for Bisping for finally getting a defining moment in his career that has otherwise been pretty much a reflection of his fighting style, hard work, perseverance, longevity but no signature win. His signature win decribes him perfectly: better than most, just good enough to beat the greatest fighter of all time on his way down. Barely. (not a knock on Bisping, by the way, that's a pretty respectable place to be in such a tough sport and a living praise to all the hard work he's been putting in all these years).

Totally should have went with my gut on the main event.  I haven't got to watch the fight yet but I wasn't surprised as everyone else.  

I did however think that Silva would have gotten over whatever mental issue he had, but uhh...yeah.

Good **** Michael Bisping.

My review from attending the event live.  

Overall I give 7.7/10 with the main event being a 9.5/10.
I'll start by pointing out the low points the card, those being the heavyweight fight and the Brad Scott fight. I personally, along with actual fans at event enjoyed the Mooses performance. Tom Breese did not blow away keita but he still comfortably won even when the fight went to more favourable position for keita. Arnald Allen was great and Scott Askham  KO was beautiful. Rustam and Makwan put in gd shows. First two fights were nice quick finishes and I also hope Pickett retires after that win. 

Mostly a very educated crowd with only a few drunk casuals. Atmosphere was great form the Allen fight onwards. 

Silva vs. Bisping was the best fight I have seen live and it was a privilege to bare witness to that crazy ass entertaining as **** fight live.   Bisping 1,2,4 BTW. Silva ****** about to much and it cost him.

I watched this and thought Anderson won the fight.  I gave him 1,3, and 5.   I then started reading on various MMA sites and saw how many thought Mike won that easily.  I actually re-watched the fight and came to one conclusion.

I don't know how I scored that fight for Anderson in round 1.  Mike won it.   

All of the damage on Mike came from the knee at the end of 3.

At best that was a draw if you scored round 3 10-8 for Anderson but 48-47 was correct.   It was probably the most honest scorecard the judges gave all night.

Anderson Silva could of won the fight if he had of finished him in the 3rd or if he upped the pressure.

I just watched the fight. I scored rds 1, 2, & 4 for Bisping. Anderson is sometimes his own worst enemy he let that fight get away from him. He looked like he could have put Bisping away at almost any time.

It was a close fight, not a robbery by any means, Bisping clearly won rounds 1 and 2, 
Round 3 it was back and forth until Silva turned it on at the end. Uncalled for or not, it was a pretty powerful shot at the end that changed part of the fight. So Id give that to Silva 
4th Round Bisping was more active, landed more shots, and was aggressive, but Anderson got a few good shots at the end but it didn't steal the round IMO.
5th round was Anderson, he teed off on Bisping the majority of the 5 minutes.
48-47 Michael Bisping for me.
Those who say this fight is a robbery are being ridiculous. It was a very good closely contested battle.

Anderson did not seem like he was in a hurry in the last 2 rounds, especially the 4th.I am not sure why but that cost him the fight.

Ten of the 13 fights were decisions. This one had to be up there with most fight minutes for an event.
