Michael Bisping: ‘I beat the s--t out’ of Luke Rockhold and he hasn’t been seen since

Michael Bisping scored one of the biggest upsets in MMA history when he knocked out Luke Rockhold to win the middleweight title at UFC 199.

Bisping, who has been considered a high-level gatekeeper throughout most of his UFC career, entered the contest as a massive underdog but shocked the world when he floored Rockhold with a couple of left hooks early in the fight. ‘The Count’ followed up with ground and pound and knocked Rockhold unconscious, forcing referee ‘Big’ John McCarthy to intervene at just 3:36 of the first round.
