This was a big one for Michael Bisping, coming off a good win but needing to cement his position in the 185 standings. It didn't happen - it was very close - what annoyed me more was how all those judges saw Wanderlei Silva win the first round despite getting taken to the floor several times.
The second round was close with Bisping getting a takedown and Silva going straight to an arm-in guillotine - the bell coming at a handy time for our boy! The Aussie crowd were giving Bisping loads of stick, probably still frustrated by the fact their cricket team had lost the Ashes to England again.
The third round is even again and with 30 seconds left I'm just hoping Bisping will take him down and see out the round. At the 10-second warning, Silva lands a right hook that drops Bisping to the ground. Silva swarms, but runs out of time and Bisping is saved by the bell.
The main bout was Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira & Cain Velasquez with the latter winning by TKO in the first round.
Both Anthony Perosh and Stephan Bonnar spilt loads of blood for the cause - both fighters continued until they were told to stop.
