UFC Fight Night London Recap: Anderson Silva vs. Michael Bisping, More

Anderson Silva vs. Michael Bisping was a fight talked about for years when both were in their prime years. Silva was a dominant champion, but Bisping couldn’t piece together enough consecutive wins to warrant a title fight. Still, it was an interesting stylistic matchup. Finally, that fight took place on Saturday at UFC Fight Night London.

The action started off slow, with Silva dodging and evading most of Bisping’s attacks. Vintage Anderson Silva started to come out, as he taunted Bisping before being rocked at the end of the first round.

This didn’t stop Silva, as he returned to his typical showboating style, albeit with a little slower reaction time than his prime years. Silva still found success with some flashy strikes until being dropped by big punches at the end of round 2. Silva recovered with some upkicks, but was down two rounds to none.

In the third round, Silva took things much more seriously, knocking Bisping’s mouthpiece out. Bisping tried to stop fighting to get the mouthpiece and got slammed with a flying knee as the buzzer rang. Mass confusion broke out, with corners thinking the fight was over, but it wasn’t.

Round four saw Silva return to earlier form, playing defense as Bisping would swing away. Silva landed big punches at the end of the round, leaving Bisping doubled over, but likely still Bisping’s round. Round five was all Silva with his signature front kick landing. The fight went the distance, with Bisping taking home a 48-47 decision, even though he never looked in control after the second round. Silva’s passive game in the early rounds cost him.

In the night’s co-main event Gegard Mousasi dominated a bout against former UFC Middleweight Title challenger Thales Leites. Highly touted prospect Makwan Amirkhani also continued his reign of terror in the UFC, earning his third straight win.

World: “The Franchise” Shane Douglas
TV: Dean Malenko
Tag: Public Enemy

We see the end of last week’s main event.  Joey Styles is going over some things with the production team after last week’s show when they start freaking out and go back to the ring where the savages from Florida are throwing their chairs into the ring.

Opening video.

Joey sends it to an interview with World Champion “The Franchise” Shane Douglas.  Douglas at the hotel pool talks about how Tully Blanchard used to do drugs and drink and then tell everyone not to do it.  Tonight Douglas says that he Dean Malenko and “Crippler” Chris Benoit the Triple Threat did what the Four Horsemen used to do to so many in the past.  People will now raise three fingers instead of four to show their respect.

Tag Team Champions Public Enemy vs. Sabu & Tazmaniac (w/ Paul E Dangerously & 911) ref John “Pee Wee” Moore

Sabu apparently has a fractured ankle.  Things start off heavy as they brawl before the bell.  Sabu hits a moonsault on Johnny Grunge but “Flyboy” Rocco Rock breaks it up.  Taxplex gets a 2.  Some brawling on the floor.  Grunge busted open already.  Make that lots of brawling on the floor.  Back in the ring Sabu with a springboard moonsault to both PE for a 2 count.  Japanese arm drag by Taz to both and they bail.  Taz whips Sabu into the ropes and he dives through onto PE.  They catch him though and drive him back first into the ring post.  Taz gets double teamed.  Sabu back in the ring to break it up.  He hits a moonsault from the top onto Rock but Grunge breaks up the pin.  Double back body drop onto Grunge.  T bone suplex.  Sabu brings in a table.  Grunge put on the table but in comes Rock.  He gets germen suplexed.  Sabu and Grunge to the floor.  Grunge put on a table.  Taz has Rock up top and wants to superplex him through the table in the ring.  Rock pushes Taz off through the table as Sabu dives out of the ring putting Grunge through a table.  Rock covers and gets the pin in 8.52.  911 comes in and grabs the ref by the throat.  Rock nails him with a chair twice and he no sells it and chokeslams him.  Ref now goes up and gets one too.

Joey is with Paul E now.  Paul E says he has a special hell planned for PE.  He says they are going to say that they have been through the streets and Paul E can’t do anything they are afraid of.  Paul E says the hell is that they are going to go through tables and straight back to the hood.  From their he says they will go to jail where no one is going to call them champ cause they’re only going to call them bitch!

Next Arena show card is Douglas/Blanchard for the title, PE versus Sabu and Taz in a Double Tables match.  Cactus Jack takes on Sandman in a Texas Death Match.  Mikey Whipwreck against Paul Lauria.  Benioit against “Snowman” Al Snow, Bad Breed square off and Tommy Dreamer battles Steve Richards.  Just a few days away!!

The Raven is in a class room and he says childhood should be a time of bliss unless you are different.  Then it becomes a scar instead of a good memory.  The Raven says Dreamer is going to return to the classroom only this time he won’t graduate.  They zoom on the blackboard and I hate Dreamer is written over and over on it.

Falls Count Anywhere Match: Cactus Jack vs. Sandman (w/ Woman) ref Jim Molineaux 

Cactus attacks Sandman in the aisle with a garbage can.  Into the ring Jack with a neck breaker for 2.  Jack hits the ropes and Woman nails him with the cane.  Jack goes out and stalks her.  Sandman comes out after and they fight on the floor.  Sandman takes over.  Garbage can to the head.  Back in the ring Sandman stays on the attack and hits a fameasser from the top.  Cactus comes back and puts Sandman up top and nails him with the garbage can twice.  Back to the floor they go for a bit.  In the ring Jack goes to punch Sandman but Sandman lifts the garbage can up and Jack punches that hurting his hand.  Sandman covers and gets 2.  Sandman smashes the can into the hand of Cactus then piledrivers him on it.  Sandman charges with the can but Jack ducks.  Sandman goes flying over the top to the floor.  Cactus elbow off the apron for the 1, 2 and 3 in 9.17.  Woman canes Cactus after the match but he ne sells it and again goes after her.  Sandman from behind with the cane over and over to the head of Cactus busting him open.  Sandman tries to jab his cigarette into the eye of Cactus but Mikey Whipwreck hits the ring and makes the save.

Sandman is with Woman in the back they want more of Cactus.  Cactus also isn’t done with the Sandman.  It’s a pretty kick ass promo I just don’t feel like typing much right now.

My thoughts on the show…

Good show.  Two fun matches and a sweet promo at the end by Cactus.

My thoughts on the show…
The last three matches were pretty decent with last two getting a good amount of time.  This one might be worth seeing.

Steve Richards (w/ Raven) vs. “Shah” Hack Meyers, ref Jim Molineaux
Hack comes out with a neck brace courtesy of Chris Benoit. They do some really cool short video packages about each guy and what they have involved in lately. I wonder if they hit those new markets and they are introducing the characters to a new audience. Whatever it is I think they are great and will be sad when they stop them. Richards attacks right at the bell and rips of the neck brace. Richards beats on Hack then hits a swinging neck breaker and suplex. Richards remains in control until Hack kicks Richards low then punches away. Joey makes cocaine jokes about Raven. Hack with his elbow to the back of the head leg drop from the apron.

2 Cold Scorpio is in the ring and he calls out Benoit and Dean Malenko. Scorpio says next week in Florida Benoit’s ass is his. Scorpio ends up attacking but Benoit hits a full nelson suplex. Double team slingshot. Malenko then hits a double underhook power bomb and Benoit comes off the middle rope with a leg drop. They continue the beat down and then Sandman’s music hits to his match with Scorp. Sandman takes like five hours getting into the ring so Scorpio should be fine by the time the match starts.

Sandman (w/ Woman) vs. 2 Cold Scorpio, ref Jim Molineaux
Sandman finally decides he should attack and the match is underway. Hanging vertical by Sandamn. Top rope leg drop by Sandman. He tosses Scorpio to the floor but then Scorpio fights back and leaps off the apron with a chair shot. In the ring Sandman nails Scorpio with the chair.

After some brief back and forth Scorpio hits a moonsault from the top to a standing Sandman and gets the pin in 6.13. Benoit and Malenko attack after the match.

My thoughts on the show…
The show was filmed fairly well for once. Didn’t see much of the two brawls but with the action everywhere those would be tough to film. Nothing is need to see here but if you do check out this show make sure you mute it as the guy filming was ridiculously annoying.
