the defeat of Anderson Silva for Michael Bisping, last Saturday (27), in the main fight of UFC Fight Night London, still resonates. Despite the surprising setback, Spider came close to a knockout at the end of the third round, when he landed a flying knee and took the Englishman to the ground. However, instead of continuing the attack with his rival on the ground, the Brazilian preferred to turn his back and celebrate the knockout, which was not signed by the central referee. The attitude generated criticism from fans and specialized media.

This Tuesday (01), Anderson even took to social media to complain about the criticism and the referee's attitude. In a post on Instragram, the former middleweight champion uploaded the video of the blow and questioned whether he should 'assassinate' his opponent to win.
“This is a sport, right? People wanted me to assassinate my opponent”, wrote Anderson in Portuguese, with an excerpt of the caption also in English.
Despite the confusion at the end of the third round, the fight continued, with some delay, and the Englishman went on to win the fourth round to achieve victory via unanimous decision by the judges (48×47).
