After a decade in the UFC, Michael Bisping knocks out Luke Rockhold to become world champion
It’s taken Michael Bisping 10 years and 26 fights to become UFC middleweight champion. Few people, including his own son, believed he would defeat Luke Rockhold at UFC 199. But fortune favors the brave, and stepping in at late notice to replace the injured Chris Weidman paid off royally for ‘The Count’. He caught the champ with two left hooks to claim the biggest knockout of his career. Just 13 weeks after he defeated Anderson Silva too. Incredible!
