    Round 4

    Silva goes on the offensive at the end of the round again. An elbow strike goes close, so close.

    But the buzzer goes and that has to go down as a very good recovery from Bisping after the end of the third.

    Round 4

    Bisping's face is a bloody mess from a cut beneath his left eye and his nose.

    But the referee is bringing in the doctor for Silva who says he was poked in the eye.

    Anderson Silva is looking for the big highlight reel finish. We are in the fourth round now - even though Michael Bisping suffered a bad knee in the last round, he is still pushing forward here.

    Round 4

    Silva is standing still against the cage and Bisping is going for body shots.

    It doesn't look like Silva is playing for points. Is he looking for the big win only? Let's see.

    Silva misses a kick and strikes Bisping with a low blow.

    After a short break, it's back on with Bisping pushing forward. He's landing shots. Great heart from the Englishman.

    Round 4

    Bisping looks groggy and his face is a mess. He was so close to defeat at the end of the third. 

    Silva is circling him, looking for the opportunity to finish.

    Michael Bisping does not look himself - he looks dazed and confused. Bisping was on bad street - definitely hurt.

    Round 3

    Confusion abounds. Silva catches Bisping with a huge, huge knee. He looks like he is out but the buzzer to end the round sounds to save Bisping. Silva thinks he's won and starts celebrating.

    But the referee says the fight is still on.

    Round 3

    Silva is controlling the centre of the Octagon now. Is the fight turning?

    He's trying to dazzle Bisping with hand movement and pushes forward.

    Bisping is on the run, but counter striking as he moves.

    This is so tense. Both fighters are standing and looking for the opening.

    Bisping is driving forward, chin tucked, throwing combinations.

    Sweat is pouring off their heads with each shot. We're half way through the third of this five round fight.

    Round 2

    It was a right-hook and left-hook combination that felled Silva. 

    The Brazilian looked stunned with that. What will the third round bring?

    Really good work from Michael Bisping! It certainly puts him in control of the fight so far. He certainly feels the momentum shift. Good clean punches and shots landed. This is exactly where Bisping wants to be going into the third round.

    Round 2

    Bisping catches Silva and Silva goes down!

    The Englishman goes in for the ground and pound, but there's not enough time to finish and Silva sees out the round.

    What a round for Bisping.
