It’s not often that you can blame all three actors for some debacle that took place during a cage fight. We have that situation thanks to the flying knee Anderson Silva landed on Michael Bisping at the end of round three.
To recap, with fifteen seconds remaining in the round, Bisping’s mouth piece falls out of his mouth. It’s difficult to tell whether it was the natural result of a strike to the face dislodging it from his mouth or whether he spit it out in order to buy himself time. That he immediately motioned to the mouthpiece suggests the latter, but Bisping’s also savvy enough of a fighter to attempt to capitalize on such a scenario.
