UFC 199 video recap: Bisping starches Rockhold to win middleweight belt

Check out BloodyElbow.com's video recap of the UFC 199 main event between Luke Rockhold and Michael Bisping.

Michael Bisping is the UFC middleweight champion. For real.

Let that sink in for a moment. Michael Bisping, the man who got H-bombed by Dan Henderson at UFC 100 in 2009, the man who Luke Rockhold easily stopped on Fight Pass and Tim Kennedy easily grinded out two years ago, the man who has always been known as the number one middleweight gatekeeper, is the champion.

And he did it on short notice, too. The 37-year-old was in Toronto, Ontario, Canada filming the movie "xXx" when he received the call he had been waiting for his entire legendary career.
