This past weekend in Manchester, UFC middleweight champion Michael Bisping stepped into the Octagon to make his first successful title defense against MMA legend Dan Henderson in the main event of UFC 204. Bisping survived an early onslaught from Henderson en route to defending his belt for the first time. In both the first and second rounds, Bisping was dropped with Henderson’s signature ‘H-Bomb’. However throughout the remainder of the fight, he continued to outwork Henderson, and outstrike the MMA legend, landing a significant volume of strikes.

Last Saturday, in the main event of UFC 204, UFC middleweight champion Michael Bisping avenged an ugly, 2009 loss to Dan Henderson with a hard-fought unanimous decision win. Not everyone believed he deserved that win, however. In the wake of Bisping’s defeat of Henderson – which marked his first successful defense as middleweight king – many of the game’s top fighters took to Twitter to express their belief that Henderson should have received the judges’ nod.

When it comes to history-making and record-breaking, UFC middleweight champion Michael Bisping has quite a few feathers in his cap. Over the course of his UFC career, he’s landed more significant strikes than any fighter in the organization’s history. He’s landed more leg kicks than any fighter in UFC middleweight history. He’s scored more UFC middleweight wins than any fighter in history. He’s the first British champion in UFC history. He’s the only fighter in the history of the UFC to win The Ultimate Fighter, win a UFC title, and then register a defense of that title. As of Saturday night, he’s also the winningest fighter in UFC history, with a whopping twenty victories inside the Octagon.

Tonight in Manchester, England. UFC middleweight champion Michael Bisping will look to defend his middleweight championship for the first time, and avenge his UFC 100 loss to Dan Henderson.

At the UFC 204 weigh-in Friday afternoon, Michael Bisping and Dan Henderson hit the scales ahead of their scheduled fight on Saturday night.

This Saturday, in the main event of UFC 204, UFC middleweight champion Michael Bisping will look to defend his crown against a former foil in Dan Henderson. In advance of this middleweight title fight, much is being made of Henderson’s age –and rightly so. The American is, after all, the oldest fighter on the UFC roster at 46 years old. It is worth remembering, however, that Bisping is no spring chicken either. Though he’s substantially younger than his upcoming foe, he is one of the middleweight division’s older competitors at 37 years old.

Dan Henderson’s thunderous knockout of Michael Bisping back at UFC 100 is a highlight that the newly-crowned middleweight champ would like to forget. That fateful right hand replayed for years as one of the most infamous KOs in recent memory, but Bisping will have the chance to flip that script at UFC 204, where ‘Hendo’ and ‘The Count’ will once again do battle. But according to Bisping himself, don’t call it a rematch:

The war of words between bitter rivals Michael Bisping and Dan Henderson continued this week during the UFC 204 Gym Day. The pair have a feud dating back seven years to season 9 of The Ultimate Fighter where Bisping coached ‘Team United Kingdom’ and Henderson coached ‘Team United States’. Following the end of the season, the pair met inside the Octagon at UFC 100. Henderson went on to win the fight via knockout, landing his now-famous H-Bomb on Bisping, leaving ‘The Count’ starched on the canvas.

The memory of UFC 100 still lingers in the mind of the UFC middleweight champion. Michael Bisping has been one of the most prominent victims on Dan Henderson’s highlight reel after brutally knocking out the British fighter in the second round of their fight back in 2010. The champ will have his chance at redemption at UFC 204 in front of his hometown crowd in Manchester, England. Bisping discussed his upcoming title fight rematch with Dan Henderson on Monday’s edition of ‘The MMA Hour’ and blasted Hendo on his implication that Bisping was using performance enhancing drugs in his win over Rockhold:

In just under a month, UFC middleweight champion Michael Bisping will make his highly anticipated first title defense when he steps into the Octagon to fight Dan Henderson in the main event of UFC 204 in Manchester, England. Ahead of the fight, Bisping has been extremely vocal about the fact that he believes he will avenge his UFC 100 loss to Henderson, and put on a spectacular display for the Manchester fans.

Not long ago, in the main event of UFC 202, Conor McGregor stole a majority decision from Nate Diaz, avenging an earlier loss to the same man and reestablishing himself as one of the game’s best fighters with the win. The strange thing about McGregor, however, is that he’s spent the entirety of his UFC career fighting at weight classes that do not appear to be the ideal fit for him. At featherweight, where he won the divisional title, he faced a brutal weight cut. At welterweight, where he would go 1-1 with Diaz, he was clearly undersized. Yet now that he’s achieved his title goals at featherweight, and avenged his welterweight loss to Diaz, the Irishman appears poised to shift to the division that seems to be his best fit: lightweight.

Early yesterday morning, former UFC welterweight title challenger Nick Diaz was surprised with a random drug test from USADA, this after the Stockton native had apparently been “out all night” and had gone without any sleep. Obviously Nick was not to happy about the situation and thus proceeded to share his verbal argument with the USADA agent, followed by his random drug test on social media.

Back in June, UFC veteran Michael Bisping stepped into the Octagon on short notice to fight Luke Rockhold for the UFC middleweight championship.
