A hard-fought decision victory isn’t the only thing Michael Bisping left the O2 Arena in London, England with on Saturday night. The popular British fighter also left with a badly beaten up face following his UFC Fight Night 84 war with MMA legend Anderson Silva, something the UFC 185-pound contender blames on veteran referee Herb Dean.

Michael “The Count” Bisping spoke with Ariel Helwani for MMAFighting.com after winning a disputed judges decision over the former longtime UFC Middleweight Champion on Saturday and revealed that he blames Herb Dean for a lot of the facial damage he suffered during the bout.

“I was talking to Herb Deab, saying, ‘Herb, my mouth piece,” exclaimed Bisping when explaining to Helwani what happened during a controversial spot in the middle of the fight. “You know, the guy …I don’t want to lose my teeth. Contrary to popular belief the British all don’t have bad teeth, and mine are okay.”

Bisping, who wasn’t fully “with it” as the situation unfolded inside the Octagon half-way through the fight, “thinks” the veteran referee is to blame for a lot of the physical damage he went on to suffer moments after the mouth piece controversy.

“So, you know, I don’t know. Herb Dean really needs to uhh …I blame Herb Dean for all of this …I think.”

During her appearance on “The Ellen DeGeneres Show” earlier this month, Ronda Rousey made the claim that she “really believes she’s still undefeated,” a comment that the legitimately undefeated UFC Women’s Bantamweight Champion claims to be “OK” with.

Rousey told Ellen during her appearance on the show:

“I really do believe I’m still undefeated because being defeated is a choice. Everyone has losses in their life, but I choose to always be undefeated.”

Holly Holm, who actually is undefeated in MMA, offered the following response to MMAWeekly.com:

“I feel like, that’s OK with me. Maybe that’s something that is coming out of her mouth that doesn’t really want to fully take in everything. I know for me any loss that I’ve had I look at it like, it is a very, very hard thing to swallow. But you gotta be honest with yourself.”

“Maybe she needs to feel like she’s undefeated and on top and that’s OK for me.”

Holm makes the first defense of her UFC Women’s Bantamweight Championship against Miesha Tate in the co-main event of UFC 196: McGregor vs. Diaz on Saturday, March 5th at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada.

Silva stated the following:

“Here’s the deal, you can’t win one way, they try to take it away the other way. That’s it. You saw how that went, right? So, there’s nothing left to say. I fought for you, and that’s it. Thank you for the support. My family, I’m coming back home, I’m fine. Mission accomplished, mission given, but sometimes it’s like in Brazil, total corruption.”
