#5 Michael Bisping vs. Dan Henderson
Disrespect the one who disrespects.
Dan Henderson truly wore these words on his sleeves after many years of his iconic knockout of current Middleweight Champion, Michael Bisping. The knockout itself was vicious enough to begin with and to think that one could be on the receiving end of such brutal power after talking smack for so many months, adds more insult to injury.
After knocking out Michael Bisping, Dan Henderson used the silhouette of a knocked out Bisping for many years as his official logo.
This lit an unusually bitter fire in Bisping's mind since he had to deal with such a picture perfect knockout for the rest of his life in the form of mini clips, gifs and photographs that are so easily available on the internet.
Bisping finally got the chance to avenge his loss against Henderson in an untimely title shot that was essentially bestowed on Henderson because everyone wanted to see this fight in lieu of the compelling narrative.
Finally, Bisping emerged victorious against an aged Henderson but not without eating a barrage of ground and pound, more than a couple of H-bombs and almost getting knocked unconscious on more than one occasion.
While it was no easy task and quite frankly, a very close fight that could have gone either way, Bisping did get the job done in a very inspiring fashion that showed his heart, chin and resiliency against an aged but still extremely dangerous Henderson.
