Hamil had a number of chances to end things, but seemed to run out of power each time.

I see what you're saying but by that theory, Griffin should have beaten Ortiz in their fight. Ortiz didn't push the fight at all after their first round and outside of a late takedown in round 3 was barely effective.
Without watching again I can't say Bisping got more or less shots in through the last 2 rounds, but listening to the commentators it was clear at the final bell they thought Bisping lost. Just like everyone else watching it, save for the 2 judges I assume!
