Robbery? Bisping vs. Henderson Strike Stats & Scorecards

UFC 204 went down in a blaze of excitement last night (Saturday October 8). Headlining the Manchester pay-per-view were fierce rivals Michael Bisping and Dan Henderson.

Scoring knockdowns in the first and second round, Henderson showed age is but a number. Rocking Bisping with his patented right hand, Henderson came within a hair’s breadth of taking the belt. Had he done so, the former two-weight Pride FC champ would have broken a myriad of records. Hats off to both warriors for such a thrilling fight. Looking at the strike stats, Bisping certainly got off the bigger volume of punches. Check them out for yourself:

Aside from round one, Michael Bisping clearly out-landed Dan Henderson. The question of knockdowns and power over total numbers of strikes landed is once again raised.

Here’s a look at the round-by-round strike stats of Bisping vs. Henderson at UFC 204:

UFC 204 is finally here, as the Manchester Arena prepares to welcome their hometown hero to the octagon. Michael Bisping, for the first time in his UFC career, will enter the main event as the middleweight champion. Its been a very long road, 26 UFC fights with 19 wins and seven losses, as ‘The Count’ looks for revenge at UFC 204. Defeating Dan Henderson would mean so much to Bisping, after ‘Hendo’ scored an epic UFC 100 KO over the current champ. Facing his rival on home soil in Manchester, England is almost poetic for Bisping.

Winning in the UK tonight would also make Bisping the most successful UFC fighter ever in terms of wins. Currently tied with former welterweight king Georges St-Pierre, ‘The Count’ will score his 20th victory if he gets vengeance against Henderson. Summing up an illustrious career, Henderson will look to walk out of the sport as the UFC middleweight champ. Having won titles in Strikeforce, two in Pride FC, and many others, ‘Hendo’ will undoubtedly feature in the hall of fame, regardless of the result tonight.

Talk

There’s been a lot of talk heading in to the UFC 204 main event, a lot of it’s been centered on TRT and steroids. Michael Bisping accused Dan Henderson of cheating before their first fight, but ‘Hendo’ has responded with some accusations of his own. Although not as intense as their original rivalry, Bisping vs. Henderson 2 has way more on the line. Legacy, the title and of course bragging rights hang in the balance.

During the traditional weigh-ins face-off last night (Friday October 7), Bisping and Henderson got up close and personal. Courtesy of MMA Fighting on Twitter, here’s what happened when the two old rivals squared off in Manchester:

“Guys, this is the pinnacle of my career, it doesn’t get any better than this,” he began. I’m the champion. I’m defending it in Manchester.”

“Someone shut this d***head up over here. Mate, you’re going down, pal. F**k you! F**k Henderson! Manchester, let’s f*****g do this!”

How do you see this intense rematch playing out? Michael Bisping’s striking has certainly looked very sharp in recent footage, but who can deny the chance of that infamous H-Bomb landing again?

UFC 204 hits the Manchester Arena on Saturday October 8. Fighting for revenge in front of his home crowd is UFC middleweight champion Michael Bisping, as he battles his old foe Dan Henderson. When the two first met at UFC 100, it was ‘Hendo’ who scored the brutal knockout victory. ‘The Count’ went on to win the championship against Luke Rockhold at UFC 199, and an unlikely rematch was set almost immediately. Although ranked outside the top 10, Henderson gets one final chance at UFC gold before calling it a day.

Former champion in two weight classes Vitor Belfort hopes to bounce back from the TKO loss he suffered at UFC 198, but he faces a big challenge in Gegard Mousasi. ‘The Dreamcacther’ has found his form in recent fights, and ‘The Phenom’ gives up eight years in age. Ovince St-Preux battles Jimi Manuwa, heavyweights Stefan Struve and Daniel Omielanczuk collide, with featherweights Mirsad Bektic and Russell Doane opening the main card.

Dan Henderson: It’s Going To Be Funny Beating Bisping’s A** Again

The post Dan Henderson: It’s Going To Be Funny Beating Bisping’s A** Again appeared first on LowKick MMA.

It’s crazy to think that it was seven years ago, at UFC 100, when Dan Henderson planted his legendary right hand to the chin of Michael Bisping to create an iconic moment in mixed martial arts history. The two bitter rivals had served as opposing coaches during a season of The Ultimate Fighter, and rather typically for ‘The Count,’ he’d got under the skin of his American nemesis. The resulting KO win for ‘Hendo’ is quite possibly the most replayed moment highlight reel finish in the sport.

How things have changed since that day; Bisping after smashing Luke Rockhold in their rematch at UFC 199, is now the middleweight champion of the world. Henderson, although also victorious by way of comeback knockout over Hector Lombard on the same June 4 pay-per-view, is now eyeing retirement in the near future. Currently ranked number 13 in the 185-pound division, the 45-year old American hero may well get the opportunity to leap the rankings for a repeat showdown with Bisping given recent events.

Michael Bisping has steadily ramped up the trash talk since winning the belt, with many top contenders appealing for a fight with the newly crowned boss of the division. Not surprisingly the fans only want to see one fight for Bisping’s first defense, and it sounds as though bot the champion and Dan Henderson are on board for this epic rematch.

Bisping recently blasted Henderson as a ‘cheating old piece of sh*t,’ claiming he’d love to ‘put him in the grave’ and get revenge for that harrowing knockout at UFC 100. The highly decorated wrestler, former two-weight Pride FC champion and MMA legend Henderson has responded during this TMZ interview, as transcribed by MMAMania.com:

“I’ve never really paid much attention to what he says, it’s entertaining to me. It’d be pretty funny when he just yaps his mouth again and ends up getting his ass beat by an old man.”

“Over the years since I had fought him I really didn’t have a reason to fight him again,” added Henderson. “I couldn’t have knocked him out better the first time around, so he’s going to owe me two after we fight.”

For some reason, even with the glaringly obvious argument of the rankings in play, this fight has a nostalgic feel that just cannot be ignored. Perhaps it’s the festive feel us MMA fans get around the anniversary of UFC 100 and on the eve of UFC 200 month, or maybe we are just so intrigued to see if Henderson can finally win UFC gold.

Either way, as you’ll see in the interview with Hendo, it sounds as though the promotion are keen on making the fight happen.
