A brief look at the career of Michael Bisping and Dillon Danis

‘The Count’ (30-9) was an elite-level fighter during his days. He had to drop from the light heavyweight division to the middleweight division after several people opined he was undersized for a light heavyweight. The Englishman had some notable victories during his career over the likes of Anderson Silva, Luke Rockhold, Chris Leben, and Dan Henderson.

He defeated Rockhold at UFC 199 via KO in the first round to become the middleweight champion. With that win, ‘The Count’ became the first Britisher to capture any UFC championship. Later, Bisping lost his gold to Georges St-Pierre at UFC 217 via a rear-naked choke. He announced his retirement after losing to Kelvin Gastelum at UFC Fight Night 122 via KO in round one.
