Bisping looks exhausted already! Oh dear, he should have come in in better shape than this!
The referee looks like he's ready to step in and stand the fighters back up.
Couture looks towards his corner to check for any instructions. The corner give him nothing to work with, so he cracks Bisping with a short hammerfist. I guess that's as good as any advice he could get in this position.
Couture has the superior BJJ but he's also working some ground strikes into his gameplan.
Couture works his foot free and advances to mount.

Couture working from mount. He moves in close and looks like he might be going for an arm triangle... He's hopped off to the side and he's transitioned into an Anaconda choke. Bisping turning a nasty shade of purple. He's refusing to tap but he's gone! He's out! The ref rips Couture off and cradles Bisping's limp body as Couture celebrates with his corner.
