Bisping fires back at Henderson: You were a ‘punchbag’ for 23 minutes

Michael Bisping beat Dan Henderson at UFC 204, just. Although Bisping was awarded a unanimous decision, ‘The Count’ was almost knocked out in the first and second rounds and left the Manchester Arena with a face like a dog’s chew toy.

Despite Hendo’s two bursts of success, however, Bisping largely controlled the fight and overwhelmed Henderson with a high-volume of strikes.

Henderson, 46, praised Bisping in the post-fight interview but admitted he was ‘pissed’ after rewatching the bout at home.

“I finally got around to watching the video of it last night, and I’ll admit, I’m pretty pissed about it,” the former Strikeforce and Pride champion said in a blog post on Champions.
