Regardless of being a better fighter he absolutely deserved to be a champ for his years of dedication and fighting killers forever with 1 eye I might add.
@@slickguitar5818 it literally did though. No way around that. Yeah bisping is talented but rockhold was easily the more talented guy on paper. But bisping was had dedication, hunger, toughness, work ethic. Natural talent isnt everything. Hell he also beat Anderson Silva, sure silva was past his prime but they both had been in the game around as long as each other and bisping outlasted him. Thats a big deal, especially when taken into account that while silva might had not been in his prime, bisping literally only had one eye. Im sorry but hardwork in this instance, 100 percent overcame talent
I'm convinced that Michael was one of the few "clean" fighters pre usada. And once the cheats couldn't cheat as easy he finally got what he deserved. And I don't just mean the belt, he got the recognition he deserved.
Do you not see rockholds physique? Very likely he was juicing. Regardless, you can't go by physique. The #1 indicator someone is using PEDs is their career choice. If you make a living off of your body, you will take PEDs
Words said right before disaster “Rockhold has this air of invincibility mentally right now” “Do you wanna take a chance and risk getting KNOCKED OUT” “Assuncao attacks the body late in the round”
Bisping's life is such an incredible story. The brash kid with nothing to make himself feel proud about except fighting. He's brash and people root against him and laugh when he gets knocked out by Henderson. All the while he's a dedicated family man who fights to set his family up and it's what he knows and loves. Towards the end of his career people have gained respect for him because of his unquestionable toughness and start to root for him. He loses an eye after a fight, and then finally gets a title shot (on short notice) against a bigger, better-looking fighter that had already knocked him out. He's a huge underdog. But he catches Rockhold with a left and wins the belt and immediately motions to his family to join him in the octagon to share in the moment. SO inspiring.
I’ll always remember the feeling of watching this fight. I can’t recall ever feeling so elated for someone who I never really liked. Whether you were a fan or not, there’s just something eternally gratifying about seeing someone grinding away for years and after several “almosts” he finally cashes in.
I have ufc 1,2 and 3 on vhs, I've seen every single event be it pay per view, fight for the troops, tuf or fight night. This is hands down, far and away my favourite moment in mma history. The boy is a legend.
High praise but I respect that! It was a great moment. So happy for Bisping especially picking it up on short notice. If you're going to win the belt there is almost no better way than this. Losing it this? Equally as humbling or should have been.
pretty sure he was out of it. check how he "wakes up" like a second after Bisping starts celebrating. Bisping would have kept landing shots, his hands were down on the mat.
In retrospect this was a great win. What made it great was Bisping's persistence to get back up after many losses, having only one eye and coming in on short notice.
Had to click this vid 😄 It never gets old watching this win It’s emotional every signal time Remember my arm involuntarily giving a victory salute for a man’s life time achievement reached Luke looked like he was going to be champ for years with those pretty kicks, statuesque body and long reach
Michael bisping is a proud family man first, he didn't want that moment becoming a champion alone. He knew his family put in as much work emotionally and mentally as he did and knew that THEY had become champion not just him. What a beautiful moment for the bisping family.
Once you become a champion, that’s forever. It wasn’t talent, just hard work and grind, it opens many opportunities. Michael Bisbing is an icon of the UFC. 🏴🏆
He's fucking garbage. That's why GSP came out of retirement to demolish him. GSP knew Bisping wouldn't be a challenge and an easy match and an easy way to be a two weight class champ.
@@trichotillomaniac1959 Just because GSP is great doesn’t mean others aren’t good ya fool. Go and buy a Khabib T shirt and chat sh1t about everyone else.
When Luke was Champ in Strikeforce…couldn’t wait to see him in the UFC. Figured his reign was going to last for a long time. Frankly, I’d bet if his work ethic was as strong as he’s natural gifts, he’d still be on top. Don’t see the daily grind in him. Could be wrong obviously but…man he was special as an athlete and history states it boils down to the daily grind to be at the top.
" if his work ethics were as strong as hes natural gifts...". Dude he is retired for years. By choice that is. He's done enough in MMA as a fighter. Michael doesn't need to prove anything to anybody anymore in that regard.
@@jf5618 holy shit! LoL Oh man how did i not catch that!? Well now my seemingly stupid comment is redundant. What you wrote about LUKE i fully aggree with. But besides the maybe not too focused of a work ethic he unfortunately also already has a glass chin for quiet some years. I think that alone would already hinder him from becoming the champ one day despite a better work ethic. Peaze brotha. And merry christmas!
It’s incredible the public turnaround Bisping received. Once pummelled by public opinion, I’m glad to see how everyone now realises his legendary status.
Leading up to the fight, I really began to dislike Luke Rockhold because of his "Art holier than thou" vibe, which he mistakingly carried into the fight. I'm really glad Bisping caught him, then punched his face in. Well deserved on both ends of this fight. IMO Great knock out of the day!
It was a good win for Mikey B and a great pre and post fight conference ❤glad you liked it im sure you'll like the rest of the videos sorry if it's not that good but ill be uploading soon again
You can tell michaels experience after the first knockdown he paused and waited to land another good shot, then using his right to hold his chin up to land another left.
There's probably no man in the UFC who earned it like Mike did. Gave an eye, two knees, and several vertebra to the sport and didn't stop until he got the belt, and then defended it twice and lost it to the arguable GOAT - not many would have even taken that fight. By no means the most technical master in the sport but I don't think there's a harder man out there. This guy's life is a film waiting to happen.
Guys, he fought for SEVEN years with ONE eye in the hardest sport. GSP beat him because his coach Firaz trained with Bisping for a week and found out about his eye. Bisping is the man of men
I watched this live at a house party party and everyone in the party was cheering for Mike!! When he knocked Rockhold I nearly cried.. 😭 one of the most inspirational knockouts in ufc history.. never put David in a corner baby.. ❤❤
That body to head switch was absolutely beautiful.I remember seeing a documentary about bisping when he was a young unknown just entering ufc....jesus time flies.
Bisping has one of the best character arcs in the UFC. From coming in as that cocky prick and being humbled by Hendo, losing his eye to trt-tor and then maturing and winning ufc gold is just sweet man. All respect to him
Conceive, believe, achieve
What the fuck is this samurai conceive believe achieve stop it you making a fool of your self
Shut the fuck up!
Lmao!
Sounds like the worst self help book I’ve ever read
@@colbyd.5044 sounds like every dont self harm book you ever read?? I think.
Mike did this with one eye on 17 days notice. Possibly the greatest athletic performance you'll ever see in the ufc
What a legend. Mike absolutely clawed his way to the belt and a place in history as a champion.
Guy literally got the phone call and started running. Like literally started to run to get in shape that moment lol
Regardless of being a better fighter he absolutely deserved to be a champ for his years of dedication and fighting killers forever with 1 eye I might add.

The man was scrappy do incarnate. Always appreciated his effort. But was glad GSP gave him a large dose of humble pie.
Do you not see rockholds physique?
Very likely he was juicing.
Regardless, you can't go by physique. The #1 indicator someone is using PEDs is their career choice. If you make a living off of your body, you will take PEDs
This doesn't get old!!!
Never will especially after you watch bispings documentary
And how luke twirled around like brock Lesnar quite hilarious
I was jus watching the post n pre press conferences 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Lmaoo this showed up on my feed and I was thinking the same thing!!!

Words said right before disaster
“Rockhold has this air of invincibility mentally right now”
“Do you wanna take a chance and risk getting KNOCKED OUT”

Rockhold submitted him actually he didnt knock him out
@@bigbuck5089 Nice catch I forgot the ending.
He didn't get knocked out the first time and he didn't lose an eye. Spot the casual
@@mmafanthatbumsyermum he has vision in only one eye though right?
Fighting and DJing
Pay particular attention where he goes to put his arm around his son….. he missed ! Fighting with one eye, the guy is a legend
Wow great spot
Holy balls. That means a good portion of his fights is out of instinct alone. If that's not what "fighting is in me" means, I don't know what is.
How did you notice that? Damn
Well spotted man 👏
warrior
The count beat rockhold with one eye tied behind his back
...on 17 days notice! Conceive Believe Achieve! 😀
Has there ever been more deserving UFC champ than Michael Bisbing?
Wow Michael you being biast 😂
Yoel Romero
Tony Ferguson
Herb Dean
@@Bucketheadhead This Herb Dean's fault
‘OH! OHHHH HE GOT ROCKED!!’ - the most satisfying KO I’ve ever seen. Bisping is a legend, an absolute legend.
Luke ROCKEDhold
One of the most satisfying knockouts ever!
One of the most satisfying knock out was the previous fight.
Rockhold chokes bisping.

winners never quit
And quitters never win
And now i know, and knowing is half the battle.
Yeah, the arrogance of Luke as well. Made it all so better.
One of the greatest UFC moments ever for sure.
Who else loves to go back to this video every now and then? The most deserving victory and one of the best moments in ufc history.
Don't forget "your head was bouncing around like a pin ball machine buddy" 🤣
Erection time
Every once in a while when I'm feeling down I watch Bisping KO Rockhold. And then I feel better.
The fact that bum didn't go to the middle of the octagon after losing shows a lot.
Im so glad he went on a losing streak!
They both deserved every bit of that moment
The mma gods are real.
You can see how much winning the title meant to him. I respect everything Michael Bisping is about. A true warrior. Much respect.
Watching Michael Bisping win the title after such a long journey is so inspiring to me. Never give up!
I have ufc 1,2 and 3 on vhs, I've seen every single event be it pay per view, fight for the troops, tuf or fight night.

Usually I hate seeing an already unconscious fighter take a few more shots but in this case I think it was stopped 3-4 sec early.
funny how his career went downhill after being humbled by Mikey
Bisping ended rockholds career.

@@999ZZZ36 I think you have miss read my comment.
@@ChevyS10LSUK Blachowicz did actually.
0:16 the announcer actually jinxed Rockhold hahaha
One of my favorite knockouts and victories of all time. Bisping is a legend.
One of the most iconic knockouts in MMA history and the one of the best celebrations from Jason Parillo!!
Yup lovebthat celebration. Parillo told him Rockhold drops right hand when he backs up.
One clipping stunner followed by three well placed kill shots. Hell yeah Count! An all time favorite KO
In retrospect this was a great win. What made it great was Bisping's persistence to get back up after many losses, having only one eye and coming in on short notice.
The first British UFC champion and a legend. Never let your limitations define you.
1:52
Look at Dana XD
Glad you enjoyed if you dont mind would you show my other videos some love ❤thank you for your future support
I know I’m late but bro how did he sneak away so fast without getting caught in the frame lol
So happy, Rockhold is a dick
Man God bless Bisbing! And his family.... best fighter ever.. against all odds.... he always overcame his obstacles.... man he must be so proud.
Dropping his lead hand like that especially in close range is just a free ticket for any skilled fighter
Bisping is a legend. The 3 perfect shots before it gets stopped were 🤣👌
Had to click this vid 😄
It never gets old watching this win
It’s emotional every signal time
Remember my arm involuntarily giving a victory salute for a man’s life time achievement reached
Luke looked like he was going to be champ for years with those pretty kicks, statuesque body and long reach
That was very clever how Bisping held his glove in front of Rockholds eyes so he couldnt see and hit him with that massive left hook
This is one of the most satisfying knockouts in all of mma history.
I've been a fan since TUF 3. Tear jerker. My favorite moment of the sequence is the raw emotion in Goldie's voice 🥲
I was happy for him when he won the belt. It's nice to see someone that no one expected to ever get a shot win a title.
As a fellow Brit had to come and watch this again to cheer me up after watching Eddie's abysmal performance against Hafthor...
Damn he grabbed his face to know where he was to hit him w that left. Genius.

I'll never ever forget this 😅 what a dude !!
One of my all time favorites. Up until this moment Luke looked like a force to be reckoned with. He looked so good in every fight
Now that we know that bisping could only see with one eye, it makes it so much better
One of the best moments in MMA.
Was so happy for him when this happened. He’s a lot better than he gets credit for because he fought the best and he wasn’t on roids. 🏴
And with one eye!

I cant believe that Luke has disliked this video seven times. Get over it buddy.
Does he know where he is 🤣
Absolutely love Mike's reaction he couldn't believe it himself
This was the first ufc I ever went to. It was insane. Henderson won as well. Unforgettable night, the crowd was electric.

Winning a title with one eye. You’ll be hard pressed to find something more legendary than that
Won the title on two weeks notice and with one eye 🤣 what a stud
Won the belt with one eye and two weeks notice. Absolutely incredible. One of my all-time favourite MMA moments
Could watch this 100 times n cheer each n every time as if it were live !
There really is a true beautiful lesson in how this one played out !!!
That body to head switch was absolutely beautiful.I remember seeing a documentary about bisping when he was a young unknown just entering ufc....jesus time flies.
I love how Luke Rockhold always gets knocked out like a high school jock in the movies, who gets his comeuppance. He even locks the part!
His story of becoming champ should get a holywood movie. Best mma story imo
Seeing a Rockhold knockout never gets old.
The look on DC's face is priceless🤣🤣🤣
One of the best moments in mma history
I could watch this once a day for the rest of my life.
Bisping watches this every night before he goes to sleep. Respect - I would to 🤣
I like how much Cormier feels it. You can see how disappointed he is at the end for his friend.
A man with nothing to lose is a very dangerous one.
And did it with 1 eye.. Legend
That was an absolute stunner...
Such beautiful family he has. Lucky man
1 eyed mike is lucky
1:03 He called him Rock Lukey on accident hahahahahaha. Thats some good sh*t
Watching him get knocked out then have that same snobby look after he comes to, is so damn satisfying
Everyone on the planet loved seeing this

That left hook has been rockhold's favorite way to enter shadow realm since.
Bisping thought people on steds his whole career. Well achieved brother Up Manchester .
The beginning of the end for Luke
That body head combo was sooooo slick.
