Anderson was criticized for exaggerating his jokes and for not presenting an aggressive stance in the fight, especially when Bisping was stunned by the Brazilian's blows. On social media, Touro Moreno, father of boxers Yamaguchi and Esquiva Falcão, declared that “Spider” has the attitude of a “humorist” inside the Octagon.

“He’s stuck on the floor, he doesn’t have a waist. He is dodging lost, clueless. He's a good athlete, without a doubt. O Anderson Silva He's excellent, mature, but for an MMA fighter he's playing a lot. It's time to go telecatch, you're joking too much. Now that he's become famous, he does the antics he's doing. Are you an MMA fighter or comedian? Get in the fight, boy! You have conditions. You kick well. Are you scared of kicking again? Kick the guy, the public wants to see that. Telecatch is only in Mexico”, he said.

The fight represented the third defeat of Anderson Silva in the UFC. Thus, the Brazilian has not won in the octagon since October 2012 – since then, he has lost twice to Chris Weidman, had a no-contest against Nick Diaz and suffered another defeat to Bisping.
