Michael “The Count” Bisping had a storied MMA career. As Great Britain’s biggest star in the sport, so many fans had waited so long for Bisping to reach the top. For him, 2016 was a career year. Bisping started by defeating a legend of the sport, Anderson Silva, in dramatic fashion. Then on two weeks’ notice, Bisping finally got the title shot he had wanted for so long, against rival Luke Rockhold. Few expected Bisping to win, especially on short notice, but before the bell could ring on the first round Michael Bisping fulfilled his destiny and became the UFC’s middleweight champion. Bisping defended his title against Dan Henderson, and was named to the UFC Hall of Fame in 2019.
