There's a marked difference in MMA audiences between here and England, and the major one we've seen tonight is that when a competitor gets kicked in the groin hard enough you can hear it from the announcers' box (this is not legal, by the way; it was an accident and it halts the fight until the kick-ee is ready to continue) is that the American audiences, as one, will make a noise of dismay and empathetic pain. Some of the British audience groans in sympathy, but rather a lot of guys stand up and cheer the guy who did the kicking, never mind he's apologizing like mad to the guy on the receiving end because that is not how you win fights in the MMA. We didn't expect to see Bisping showing more class than the audience, but there you go. He was even gracious at the win- we think he might have been replaced by an alien clone. :)
