Was Bisping stopping because he thought there was a break? If Silva wasn't aware of any of this, and Dean did not pause the fight in any way, why didn't Silva jump on Bisping until the fight was stopped? Did it just result in Bisping being saved by the bell? I'm so confused.

Silva was pounding Bisping against the cage. Had him in a clinch. They seperated. Bisping pointed at Herb Dean regarding not having his mouthpiece and in the process left himself wide open, Herb Dean (who had it in his hand) acknowledged Bisping with a nod of his head and Silva came in and kneed him right on the buzzer.
Then for whatever reason (seeing Dean rush in and thinking he is stopping it as opposed to the end of the round?) Silva starts celebrating as if the fight was over?
It was a case of Bisping being saved by the buzzer. Silva had no time to follow up. But I'm thinking the reason he didn't was because he thought Herb Dean had stopped the fight and he was unaware the round had ended hence the celebration.
