Michael Bisping’s hopes of becoming the only man to beat Anderson Silva and Georges St-Pierre were shattered at UFC 217 when the Brit was choked unconscious by ‘Rush’ in the main event.
Bisping, the former middleweight champion, had his moments against St-Pierre and looked to be finding his rhythm before being clipped with a huge counter left hook in the third round. St-Pierre, the former welterweight champ, followed up with brutal elbows on the ground and eventually secured a rear-naked choke to become one of the few men in the promotion to capture titles in two separate weight classes.
