Motor-mouthed Michael Bisping is an improbable UFC champion

Two hours’ notice. Two minutes’ notice. This, after a visibly upset Luke blasted Bisping for being a bad sport after a big win for gloating after victory.

Michael Bisping had a little more than two weeks to prepare for his long-awaited first Ultimate Fighting Championship title shot.

Both men were no strangers to each other as Rockhold submitted Bisping with a second-round guillotine choke in November 2014.

Henderson (32-14) also indicated he is strongly considering retirement from his 19-year professional career after he knocked the 38-year-old Lombard stiff with an elbow while Lombard (34-6-1) was holding his leg. Henderson, who fought at UFC 17 in 1998, posed for photos in the cage with his wife and four children, who all attended one of his fights together for the first time. “I’m fighting a great fighter, but for me to get outclassed, I gotta assess things”. “I said don’t be bitter after I took your belt”.

“Congrats to Michael. He caught me”. It’s a different dynamic. “I gave him an opportunity, and he made the most of it. Give me an opportunity, and it will be the end of it”. Look for Cruz to do his usual stuff and find ways to out-point Faber and get the decision victory. Green (23-7) dropped his hands and taunted Poirier, which was answered with a huge left hand.

Fans who tune into the Fox Sports 1 preliminary card will see Brian Ortega take on Clay Guida (freatherweight), Beneil Dariush battle James Vick (lightweight), Jessica Penne face off with Jessica Andrade (women’s strawweight), and Cole Miller vs. Alex Caceres (featherweight). “He’s always been a smug, arrogant (jerk). I really don’t”, he said. He’s always been a (jerk).

“He’s an incredible fighter, and I want to thank him for bringing out the best in me”.

Lesnar is one of the biggest pay-per-view stars in UFC history, setting records for the promotion during his eight-fight MMA career between stints as a professional wrestler.

Bisping’s fight with Rockhold was his 26th as a professional in the UFC, and marked the Englishman’s first chance at a title.

“In ten years I never got a title fight and then when I get one I knock my opponent out in the first round, so I’m going to relish this moment and ride the crest of the wave”.
