Wow.
A highly entertaining fight between Michael Bisping and Anderson Silva went back and forth right up until the third round when a devastating knee had the Englishman on the deck and the Brazilian convinced he had won:

But it wasn't over.
Controversy. Bisping complained about something and got KO'd it seems via a knee. Or was the round over? Impossible to tell here.

Round was over! Oh man. Silva was celebrating like it was actually over. Like he won. Wow.

The noise from the crowd meant that Silva did not hear the claxon at the end of the round, and after jumping onto the cage to celebrate, he was told that the fight was going to a fourth round.
In the end Michael Bisping did enough to win via unanimous decision, but Anderson Silva will be very upset as he thought he ended the fight. A crazy moment in atruly crazy fight, the reaction from those watching says it all:
WHAT. JUST. HAPPENED. #UFCLondon
