Dan Henderson Defeats Michael Bisping by Vicious KO

Saturday July 11, 2009
Before his UFC 100 fight with Michael Bisping, Dan Henderson said, "the biggest thing that I want to do in this fight is just shut his face." Let's put it this way: Henderson came through big time.

The first round saw the man they call "Hollywood" stun his opponent with some big punches as he chased him around the cage, looking to connect with that vicious right hand of his. Later in the stanza, Bisping did begin to stick and move better, even if the power differential between the two (in Henderson's favor) was quite obvious. But in the second round, Henderson finally connected with that one big right hand he'd been looking for all night. Bisping was out cold immediately, but still sustained another tough shot from Henderson on the ground before the referee stepped in.

Dan Henderson wins by KO at 3:20 of round two. It took Bisping awhile to get up. Thankfully, he finally did.

I think that knockout will be the highlight of “Ultimate Knockouts 7″. I put it over Rashad Evans’ knockout of Chuck liddell! Absolutely brutal, but Bisping more than deserved both the knockout punch and the follow-up!
