Former UFC middleweight champion Michael Bisping took revenge on the welterweight prospect Philip Rowe after he snubbed Paul Felder.

‘The Fresh Prince’ in his previous octagon interview unintentionally snubbed Paul Felder as he went for a fist bump. Later, the welterweight fighter fought his third UFC bout on the preliminary card of UFC Fight Night: Hermansson vs Strickland.

And this time around the UFC commentator, Michael Bisping interviewed ‘The Fresh Prince’ after his knockout victory at the event inside the octagon.

During the interview, after answering all of Bisping’s questions, the welterweight fighter went for a handshake. But ‘The Count’ didn’t notice it and hence Rowe was left hanging.

This gave a hilarious moment to the UFC fans, and many billed it as karma as ‘The Fresh Prince’ had previously snubbed Felder. However, everyone dealt with this incident well, as Rowe himself commented on the post with a laughing emoji.

‘The Fresh Prince’ is a product of the Dana White Contender Series. He fought his first UFC fight at UFC 258 but suffered a unanimous decision loss. However, he bounced back into the win column with a stunning knockout win in his second fight last year. Rowe bagged his second UFC win today.
