You go until the ref stops. Don’t be a tool and play this type of game. GREAT KO HENDO!

for some other fighters this could be consider as douche bag but bisping desevers it… good job henderson… next stop silva

you only whale on an opponent if your name is Michael Bisping.

It was actually pretty quick by the time he was flying in the air. I’ve seen later punches.

Not when a lesson needs to be taught.

he may have known he was knocked out but you have to fight till the bell rings or the ref stops it. thats part of the sport.

Bisping had nuthin’ in that fight. He looked intimidated coming into the octogon.

Bisping talked a lot of shit and I think that he got what he deserved USA!! USA!! an extra shot probably won’t shut his ass up, he will have something on mmamania.com tomorrow about some stupid excuse! Hendo is the man! Team Quest all day.

Bisping deserved it. for all the trash he’s been talking pre-fight. He and mir should do lunches.

BEST KO EVER!!!!, love the hangtime on the follow up punch…ill be watchin that over and over again…eat it Bisping

it didnt even look like him when i first saw him. he looked like he lost a ton of weight and looked lean but not good

Regardless if he knew Bisping was out or not, I have watched too many fighters be cautious after knocking down an opponent which later cost them a fight like Herring Nog..So I don’t blame Hendo, I think you whale till its stopped

Karma was what happened!!!!!

I would say Brocks complete and utter lack of sportsmanship should be in question, way before Hendos.

i’m so glad Hendo KO’d that douche, but come on, that last punch wasn’t necessary…babalu got the boot for holding on too long to a choke and then saying it was to “shut up his opponent”, this could be up there as well but doubt they’ll be measured with the same stick

Plus Sokoudjou did it too. Super Hulk torney! Team Quest Represents!

He might get a warning for the NSAC but I don’t think the UFC itself will do any action. This issue I have with it was that it could have some some serious damage to his jaw. Now it was Michael Bisping so I doubt think many people will be too upset. Maybe it will make him more humble. Circle Left Circle Left meet right hand.

“You got knocked the F#%k OUT…!!!”

Never quit until the ref stops the fight, if the fighters started to try an make that call on their own they would loose the killer instinct…

That is what happens when you can’t shut your mouth and stop talking $h!T… The stadium was soooo loud when he came to I wonder what he was thinkin…

Henderson doesn’t have to use any discretion. Thats the referees job!

that was very mild. most fighters hit ko’d opponents MANY more times than that without people crying about it. besides, the fighters are instructed to keep fighting until the ref stops it. if Bisbing wouldn’t have been talking so much trash, dan probably woud’ve let it go with just the one ko punch. if you think about it, almost every fighter continues to strike ko’s opponents until the ref stops it. it’s standard procedure. don’t all of a sudden start blaming dan.

The video of frank vs Lesnar : http://www.playeruno.cl/mma/ufc-100-frank-mir-vs-brock-lesnar-video/

I think Hendo was just going with his adrenaline rush at the time, but later added that the last punch was to shut him up as a afterthought. However, something needs to be done about hitting an already KO’d opponent, either the ref, fighter or both need some reprecussions… is it going to take something horrific happening before a rule is implemented?

I’ve never been prouder to call Dan Henderson my favorite fighter.

i thought he kill that dude for real

goodnight bisping! haha fuckin loved it!

Hendo is THE MAN! haha that was so f’n awesome!

I loved it,LOVED it, made my night, or maybe my year…..I kind of found it funny, looking back at the pre-fight press conference. The quieter guys on the left and the ultra cocky guys on the right and the quiet guys smashed the cocky right side :P.

You keep on punching until the ref stops it. Dan was doen when the ref stopped the fight- I think what Dan meant was he wouldnt have added that punch if Bisping wasnt such a douche. Babalu’s was different- he held on even when the ref told him to stop. I like dan and Babalu but 2 totally different cases

That last punch and coment shows a lack of class. Have some respect or pretend to. Martial arts has worked hard to show the world it is a legit sport with real athletes and not a freak show. Lesnar thinks he is in the WWE still with his comments on the mic.

I hope all you little care bears get lit on fire. Dan Henderson was doing his job out there, his job was to eliminate an opposing threat. It was the Referee’s responsibility to stop the fight, not Hendo’s. Too bad if Mikey got punched a few more extra times, that is the nature of MMA. You get pounded out until it gets shut down, or you can jeopardize the situation and allow your opponent to recover. If I was fighting for money and a legacy I would make sure to do anything to get that win. The Babalu incident is totally irrelevant and its criteria was totally different. WAR HENDO, more more more hammer fists of death!

You keep going until the ref ends it and not a second before.
Bisping deserved it anyway…

Mir going on and on about how he is so amazing and has such great stand up…..loser LOL. And bisping so cocky and over confident…boom…lights out, karma’s a bitch. I know alves was cocky as hell but he’s the one I felt the most sorry for, he’s a young guy, thought it was his time and got totally embarassed. I hope he learned his lesson..don’t underestimate you opponent which I know he did with gsp, like bisping and mir did. I was so happy to see gsp win but after seeing alves crying post fight with his face beat up it made me feel bad. :(

Dan Henderson has a nuclear right hand! Jumped outta my seat for that one!!! Hope Anderson catches it next! War Hendo!!!

Those of you calling for fines or sanctions for Hendo are ridiculous. How can you punish somebody for a legal punch during a still active fight?
 
As for Brock I am sick of people blasting him for responding to the trash talk of his opponents but giving them a free pass. Herring and Mir brought this on themselves. Brock never disrespected Randy, cause Randy and his whole team didn’t mock him. Get over yourselves hypocrites.

Where are the Brits at? Bisping deserved having his bell rung. That was a bad ass knockout and the final blow for good measure hell ya BIS STING.

Someone tarred and feathered Churchill’s taint

I know Bisping and us Brits have talked a lot but this was a disgrace the guy could got brain damaged he knew he was out its shocking for the sport man you must admit it. Its real bad…

To do something that intentionally dangerous sets the sport back a decade. Shame on Hendo.

That brought a tear to my eyes I cant stand bisbing I hope he fades away

Thank you Dan!

Bisping proved he’s not ready for a title shot, the Spider would eat him for lunch. Hendo serves the Count some humility with a side of concussion. What an f’n knockout that was! That last shot was totally legal, a tad vicious maybe but still legal. KO of the year so far IMO.

guys, did anyone see john? and the rest of the kids that thought bisping even stand a chance? lol…

diving punch is sick!! bisping is as irrelevant as mir

Bisping cant even out box a 38 year old wrestler who admits CONSISTENTLY that his right hand is his favorite attack.

Definitely top 10, where are his fan boys now?

knockout of the century…..

I’m a Bisping fan cause he’s a good guy despite what you all think but he was out classed last night, he is a good fighter….just not a great fighter like Hendo. The UFC thing has went a bit to his head cause he’s made more money than an american fighter would at the same stage in his career but each to their own, you would all like a beer with him cause he’s a fun guy. JMO

i dont agree that a fighter should continue pounding on a downed fighter, but its hard for a fighter to stop himself in the middle of battle. its the refs job to jump in when a fighter is clearly down. that said, it was great to see Henderson KNOCK THAT FOOL OUT!!!

If people are gonna talk $h*T about this, what about Kos putting his fist through the face of Yoshida who was DEFINITELY out and falling at Kos? Fight until you’re stopped. That’s why we watch it, that’s why we love it. Its 2 men in a cage doing battle to see who’s better on that night and its up to the referee to make a call on when to stop. Its not Hendo’s fault that the ref couldn’t get there before he took a flying leap and threw his right hand, forearm, and elbow into Bisping’s face.

When I told you fools that hendo will win by KO , Some of you answered me and said WRONG this will go to the REF or bisping will win.

LOL at you…

This is an email i sent Bisping a few minutes ago..

Being from Canada i like the UK. but i have to say that Bisping you are an emberassment, and the knockout and flying punch looks good on you. seriously your mouth needed to be shut, you always run it, and you should show more respect to the the true warriors and veterans of the sport. what did you really think would happen,, who have you fought? i hope you dont bitch and cry over the second punch… take it like a man,,,, or are you still one??? you know you would have been all over him if he was dropped like you were.. it was legal and brutal but legal… suck it up and train harder… i am sure your wannabe girlfriend Dana will give you another chance…. maybe you can fight a girl next time…. again dont cry you deserved it and it was legal… oh and maybe if you werent such a cocky bitch you might have listened to your corner and not circled left… even i know not to move into someones power… you talked like a bitch, you fight like a bitch, you listen like a bitch,, got slammed like a bitch,, please dont now cry like one…. i will say this,, i like you, also love the Queen, but you got what you deserved and i will replay the punch over and over and over till my PVR breaks… when you wake from your Coma and have only one brain cell left, well thats debatable,, get back to me if your mommy will let you out to play anymore… Or drop me a line to let me know what sport you will be doing in the next Special Olympics.. take care and maybe take up male whoring as your next gig.. all men love and need a Bitch with a big mouth…… Funny.. Peace out Grant from Canada,, aka; SidTheKid_1

That was one of the most brutal KO’s I’ve ever seen. Tank Abbott/Matua (sp?) from back in the day comes to mind.

I don’t think Dan did anything wrong per se. Bisping hit the deck cold, but Dan’s forward momentum carried him forward for another shot. It was one of those borderline things. If Bisping was carried out on a stretcher, I think Dan would have regretted it, but the nature of the sport is that you go all out until the ref stops it, because sometimes guys take a huge shot and then somehow recover their bearings quickly and continue.

It was one of those KO’s were you gotta feel a little bad for the guy, though. He’ll never be the same.

But Bisping just got his ticket punched. That kind of KO shortens careers. He didn’t respect Hendo’s ability enough, which is a big mistake for a guy who has fought relatively low level competition in the UFC, except for Rashad and Hamill, and he “lost” both of those fights.

Meanwhile, Dan has beaten a who’s who of the best fighters in the world and his losses are also to some of the best ever. Bisping was tailor-made for him: A guy with not much power, mid-level takedown defense, and not a whole lot of submission skills. All he could do was run and try to pepper his way to something like a split decision.

He was sort of doing that before he got highlight reeled.

I thought Dan Henderson was a classy fighter??.. Yes Bisping ran his mouth.. Don’t all fighters?

Dan knew he was out.. He just should have let the unconscious Bisping sleep.

Lil G aka SidTheKid_1 get a freakin Life DUDE , You think Bisping would give a flying F about your mail to him ?

For admitting he knew Bisping was out, Henderson should be repromanded. I believe hiting a guy when he is obviously KTFO is worse than holding a submission a little longer. Sobral was sacked for what he did………

As much as that guy was over hyped and running his mouth he deserved everything he got! This isn’t Jason Day b*tch!

I have zero respect for a fighter who admits that he knew the other guy was out cold, and DECIDED (as opposed to doing it on auto-pilot, in the heat of the moment) to land a bomb to his head anyway just because he could.

Also, I could care less about Bisping, but all of you people getting excited about an unconscious fighter getting hurt again are trash.

classy.

hey he was right he didnt get taken down,And Hendo had to make sure he knocked him out he couldnt afford for it to go to the scorecards cuz if it did they wouldve prob gave it to bisping as like the hamill fight which I still think he lost and the shot wasnt illegal I’ve seen worse paybacks a bitch and so is bisping thanks hendo u just made my summer ur the man

hendo was defo the better fighter tonight but that last punch was unforgivable. henderson should be ashamed of himself and never be allowed to step foot in the octagon again.

What about rampage on wand, he hit like 4 uneccessary punches
Nobody said anything

Opinion?

Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha.
Ha.

Sad thing is that Dana will give Bisping a little gimme fight against a no-name and then he will be right back in title contention cause the UFC completely caters to this guy. It’s so freaking sad that the country has to put all of their support in this Douche Bag.

Glad that Hendo KO Bisping. In Fact Hendo is really Great Britain’S KILLER!!!!!!!

Go get that belt Hendo. You KOed my boy now get the belt.

I am really happy for Dan Henderson’s knockout over Bisping, it was about time he got shut up. As for the last blow, it happens all the time, look at Rashad Evans, he never stop, he goes till the ref stop him. Rampage did the same over Wanderlei Silva’s knock out and no one said anything either.

Way to go Dan, I am truely happy for you man.

Hendo!!! loved the dive-bomb-superman punch…Bisping is never going to forget that…i agree with you guys circling left not a smart idea, he musta thought he was fighting Leben again

As wicked a KO as that was the superman punch to a clearly half-dead opponent is simply not good for the sport we all love.

i’ve been saying it for 2 years now….bisping sucks. he’s all talk. he will never beat a top 5 fighter. he couldn’t even beat hendo (who is past his prime). bisping claimed to be the better striker and got KTFO. end of story.

Honestly I think Hendo is lucky that he did not seriously hurt Bisping with that shot. I thought for sure he would get suspended or fined for that. To hit a guy like that that is totally unconcious should start be penalized before someone gets killed, then to say you did it on purpose should be dealt with by Dana. I hate seeing that shit, no respect!!!!!!

I saw on MMA Live after the fight that Hendo told his corner after the first that Bisping “punches like a bitch” (direct quote from Hendo) and that his hardest punches didn’t even hurt haha. Even though he is a cocky ass I think Bisping is a funny guy but this badass KO from Hendo will shut him up for sure. Hendo’s a class act so you can’t pissed about punching until the ref stops him, even if he did enjoy it a little to much. Can’t wait till Hendo-Anderson 2 that could be a war.

Not a huge fan – but becoming one. I paid the $55 and watched the fight with some friend. I love that these guys kick the s43t out of each other, but there are rules – that makes it a sport. Hitting an unconscious Bisping was wrong and illegal. The fact that a fighter is not even afraid to say – Yes I knew he was out, and still flew up in the air to land a huge shut that could have killed a guy who can’t defend himself, without fearing that the UFC would be upset, means that the UFC need to do some work. This event to diehard fans means very little – I know. But if the sport wants to continue to grow it will clean this stuff up. Here is a scenario for you - Bisping goes home and goes to bed. In the middle of the night his brain bleeds and he dies. The next day the video of Hendo flying through the air to hit a fighter he know is out is shown on CNN and every other news show….the UFC would have a hard time even getting licensed in any of the 50 states. I won’t for the kids to watch these fights—but where is the sportsmanship in hitting an unconscious man? The UFC should not sleep on this – it could have all ended if Bisping dies on the mat. Think about that scenario before you congratulate a fighter for hitting an unconscious opponent

if you look on dans wiki he is part english french and native american why do you guys think he looks so funny So dont give me usa usa plus i was a fan of hendo and bisping. But hendo behaved like a dick does he realize he also had fans in britian. And if bisping was killed and two kids left without a dad you would be singing a diffrent tune.I know theres always people like that canadian i think he is a jason day fan but am actually suprized how many americans agree with that last punch being wrong and dan has lost my support i new in my heart of hearts bisping wasnt ready for hendo plus he looked ill. And all i have to say to that windowlicking canadian it takes a real man to step in to that cage win or lose so fuck off with your posts just intending to fish for laughs which failed if dan would have even shown abit of concern after it would have been ok. Dan and brock made it look like a freakshow again. Bad one for me i saw my boy bisping get beat and lost respect for hendo who was one of my favourites plus brock acted like a total bell end and showed zero respect for his wife. I love this sport but dont want to see people get hurt like that you can all say what you want the fighters are there to entertain all of us and dan new he was out after the first punch i thought dan had more class and the guy wondering where the brits are am right here m8 and still proud of bisping for getting in thier with hendo i hope he comes back stronger. FORGIVE MY ENGLISH

Glad to see that fans on here mostly have the right answer. A fighter is entitled (and expected) to fight until the ref. stops the fight. Hendo did absolutely nothing wrong. Fighters are GOING to get hit with a strike or two after they are out occasionally. Yes, a strike after the KO can be risky to the downed fighter, but that’s one of the risks of the sport and all fighters are aware of it. It’s not reasonable to expect fighters to quit fighting on a dime before the ref officially ends the fight.

Good job to Hendo. Bisping is a decent fighter, and his confidence is expected; but he was clearly in over his head and he paid for it. The stick-and-move, circle-and-jab routine has its drawbacks in MMA. Bisping is clearly reluctant to stand toe-to-toe or to clinch with “A”-level opponents, and his wrestling is still sub-par. It remains to be seen whether he can fill in the gaps or not.

I couldn’t watch the actual fight but I’m glad that Dan Henderson won. I don’t dislike Michael Bisping. I think he’s an alright dude but Dan Henderson seemed like a real sincere guy the whole time that he was on the show and well it’s always awesome to see the good guy win. I hope Michael Bisping is okay. He’s got a family and all so I hope he lives. But yeah he needs to learn to be more humble like Dan.

Dan…you knew he was all talk…you knew he couldn’t compete with you…why did you even take the fight…it would have been equally entertaining if you would have simply wrestled him to the ground…pulled his shorts down…and spanked him…that would have drawn equal distain from the Brits…and your sportsmanship still criticised…In hindsight…it is MMA with a level of brutality that draws crowds willing to pay big money…the unfortunate part of your beatdown is that Bisbing haters will not be fueled by the " COUNT "s never ending songs of praise… to Himself !

Hendo looked amazing tonight, I’m the big fan of his.

Long live Dan!

Called it, (not a huge surprise) but that fact remains I called it a big knock out by a big right hand. Bisping circles to Hendo’s right and that is a terrible decision!

Whats sickening here is that if it was Bisping that did it to Hendo everyones responses would be reversed. Its disturbing to me that alot of you accept those kind of shots to an unconcious competitor and then say its the refs fualt for not getting in there quicker. I think there should be rules in place to prevent a guy that has already been KO’d from taking anymore senseless damage. When someone dies is the ref going to be responsible for that as well???? Like I said in a previous post, I thought Martial Arts was all about respect for your opponent, there was no respect shown in the ring and we are lucky the Bisping got up from that. As soon as someone dies this sport may be in trouble.

War Hendo!
I don’t feel bad for Bisping, he really deserved that brutal K.o
Dan Henderson is my favorite fighter.

1-hitter-quitter. That was a nasty bomb. Bisping should be humbled now…

Hey guys one of bispings spit bubbles just flew over my house!

That was the Knockout of the Decade. They will be showing that one in highlight reels for years to come.

That was the most awesome knock out it felt good to see bisbing get knock the heck out. And the second punch was deserved. Bisbing can’t say he won that fight. YEAHHH!!!! Thank you hendo your the man!

That One Hitter Quitter was a thing of beauty. It was indeed one of the best if not THE best haymaker I have ever witnessed.

i can understand some americans wanted bisping to get knocked out but the fact that some of you are buzzin that he hit him when he was out is sickening.

Wait a minute…

Hendo went to far? That was 1 extra punch. Is he supposed to be a robot or something and turn it on and off in milliseconds?

He has said that it was a reaction…but did enjoy it.

Bisping is a smug prick that needed someone to shut him up. Dan Henderson did that in proper fashion.

Notice that Bisping has not been seen or heard of anywhere? Maybe he finally learned some respect and humility.

I dont think Hendo should be compared to Babulu since it was before any ref stoppage. Bisping is probably going to recover alot faster than Frank Mir. Imagine getting hit with bricks 14 times in the head. It wasnt a straight up KO like Hendo…but I wouldnt have been suprised with a couple more punches that Mir would have ended up in a coma esp his head pinned against the cage. Hendo should have never said anything after the fight since its possible he said that only because people assumed and he wanted to look like he got the last word and punch but it isnt easy to turn that switch off for many fighters even if they flat line a guy. some guys who get knockdowns get up quick. I dont think he should be fined or punished for it…

I Loved That. That’s exactly what was supposed to happen, in a perfect world. Thank you Dan.

As far as Brock/Mir…Before the fight Mir mocked Brock,
something about how annoying Brocks little short punches were, he hits like his little sister or something.

So Brock gave Mir the potato head. with those not so little punches.

Let me ask you this.
If you encountered a bear while in the woods, and said bear did NOT attack you, would you mock the bears big ol paws that it did NOT attack you with? Would you laugh at the bear and tease the bear because it didn’t use it claws properly?
Is it smart to point this out to a bear?

I’ve always liked Mir, his ability, even his overconfidence.
But sometimes it really is ok to just keep your pie hole shut.
Mirs got all potato-headed and shit! Ha!

To me, UFC 100 was about what MMA is about, the line between Talk and Action (also known as Results).

Yes Ive been watching this sport since the Gracie Train.
And it always comes down to action. Talk is cheap.

(come to think of it, Royce used a lot of little punches too, to get’em to open up so he could submit them. Badass.)
Thank you Gracies, Thank you Royce.

Watching Bisping disconnect and drop was worth the PPV alone.
Personally, I find Brits more agreeable when portraying the classic uppity-reserved approach. I mean we kind of invented the in-your-face-a$$hole routine here in America.

Yes Michael, amongst all of your unnecessary wordiness,
you missed three simple words.

1. Don’t circle left.

Thank you Hendo! Bisping got what was coming to him. Can’t wait to hear what he has to say about getting knocked the fuck out! USA BABY!!!!!!!

COMPLETE AND TOTAL CRIMINAL ASSAULT. HE ADMITTED HE KNEW HE WAS UNCONISCOUS! I CAN’T WAIT TO SEE THIS OLD MAN WITH ONE GOOD PUNCH GET DESTROYED AGAIN BY ANDERSON SILVA. YOU FIGHT FANS NEED TO STOP LIVING IN THE “PRIDE” PAST.

I’m a big Bisping fan but Dan showed once again why hes a legend in this sport. Feel the final punch was a little unnecessary and feared for Bisping’s health in the moments after the fight. I feel the fighters have a duty to know when there opponent is done and not to pursue. After all no one wants to see serious long term injuries or deaths in there. still hats off to Hendo another highlight real finish to go with the pride ko’s!!!

That was a most enjoyable ko. I need the second punch made into a poster to hang so I can relive that wonderful moment on a daily basis. NICE!

Perhaps , the extra blow was excessive :
What aspect of M M A , isn’t ?
As I watched it occur , I was immediately reminded of bisping’s refusal to switch workout times…
That is when I saw HENDERSON’S demeanor change from determined competition to " This overrated little boy is going to be extremely sorry "

BRILLIANT PERFORMANCE , DAN !!!

I started hating Bisping after the Matt Hamill fight in the UK when Hamill was robbed of the victory. Hamill clearly won the fight; but instead of being a humble winner that knew he didn’t win the fight, Bisping displayed for the world what a classless a-hole he is. Thanks, Hendo. You’re the Man !!

it was a good knockout, i wont take that away from henderson, but that punch while bisping was out was totally cruel and it was just an outlet of the rage Bisping had built up in henderson. Im not saying hendo should be fined or kicked out of the ufc but some action NEEDS to be taken.

the flying forearm to bisping was by far one of the most hilarious things ive ever seen… come on people, youve seen many matches where one fighter is hitting an unconsious competitor… its just the nature of the game… if michael bisping has a problem with that flying forearm (i now call it the HENDO) maybe he should have used a better game plan than move to hendos power, and not gotten himself knocked out!!!

I work in a CCTV control room in a Uk City and all of you that are in favour of the now infamous “Second punch” would love my job, I’m constantly seeing unconscious people lying on the ground being kicked in the head, lifeless bodies getting pummelled, you guys would dig it the most!

Now I know Bisping shouts his mouth off, but he openly admits that it’s part of his strategy, do you really think that makes him a bad person, if so then I can think of thousands of participants in different sports all over the world that you can add to your "Bad" list, getting into your opponents head is an important part of any game, Mohammed Ali was a master at it and set an early bench mark for trash talk.

Doesn’t anyone find that trash talk adds emotion and feeling to a fight for both the fighters and the audience, don’t you just hate it when two fighters are just going through the motions and collecting their pay???

Having said that, all bad feeling should end when the fight does (either from a referee stoppage or your when your opponent is lying unconscious), I’ve followed Dan in Pride and seen him on many occasions pull out of a punch to avoid hurting an unconscious opponent, surely now when he is older and wiser he should know better than to do what he did.

GSP vs. Serra the second fight, loads of trash talk from Serra, end of the fight GSP pays tribute to Serra saying it’s all part of the game, looks like both Henderson and Lesnar could learn a lesson in Sportsmanship from Canada’s first son!

If everyone whoops and cheers when someone unconscious gets clubbed it sends a bad message to young impressionable minds that may be getting into MMA. In answer to the original question, I think a fine and public reprimand would fit the "crime" on this occasion , it’s such a shame that a great knock out was marred by a lack of self control and a step down in class by Dangerous Dan.

that flying forearm to bisping is one of the funniest things ive ever seen, it was out of some kung fu flick… i dont know why people are mad about it, they should be mad at the ref, cuz even i, who was on my couch hundreds of miles away could see that bisping was out before he hit the ground… bad ref, bad bad ref; youre grounded…. Dan Henderson is the hooligan killer

i used to like bisping before but he’s became big headed lately!im hapy for hendo for gaving that cocky mofo a good lesson that he’ll never forget hahhahahaha!

USA USA USA USA USA USA USA USA USA. That is going to be the KO of the year no doubt. Bisbing got clapped up real quick.

The biggest mistake Hendo made was admitting he knew Bisping was out. The comment about shutting him up was funny, but keeping quiet would have prevented the backlash from some people. Well, maybe at least a bit anyway. Someone, somewhere is always going to bitch and moan about something. I agree, don’t stop till the ref says.

I hope bisping died after tha ko

I seem to recall Rashad doing that to Sean Salmon and no one bitched about that one. So all you self righteous ass holes need to just go away! Its funny how ass hurt Spyder is though. I really am enjoying it.

Hopefully bispings dead

I read that 50% of people found Brock Lesnar’s post fight celebrations “despicable” those same people also think that Bisping being dive bomb punched while unconscious is completely ok though. WTF!?!?I wouldn’t be able to enjoy watching that type of brutality on anyone, Its not what the sport stands for and if you do enjoy watching watching that then you are exactly the type of fan that taints the name of MMA. Dan Henderson has admitted he knew Bisping was out and should be fined for playing Russian roulette with a fellow athletes life. If Henderson was unconscious and Bisping pulled the same diving punch all the HYPOCRITES would come out instantly and call foul. Shame on you Mr Henderson, shame on you, and UFC if they do not hand out some sort of harsh punishment at a future date.

why chant “usa usa” especially using the ENGLISH language……Oh the irony.

i kinda wish he would have hit him like four more times good job DAN he talked so much shit just to show up to get ktfo i think this will mess with his head and he will never be the same fighter goodnight mike

I thought this was great…Bisping had it coming. This also sent a message to Dana. Bisping shouldnt have even been in this situation, he doesn’t deserve a title shot…he’s not even a top 10 fighter in his weight class. He got smoked! Great jon “Hendo”

what a bunch of lowlife DUMBASSES hendo will get his and i hope you bunch of pathetic little asswipes get the same, crawl back under your stones. this is a sport not a night club car park. RESPECT @ HONER

good lord people… you fight until the ref stops it. period. if the ref stepped in and THEN henderson threw another bomb he’d be in the wrong.

@fantana817 – that is just so damn weak.

that is trash.

it is not the fighter’s job to determine when his opponent “cannot intelligently defend himself.” that is the ref’s job pure and simple. get on the ref if you have a problem with this, not the fighter.

and no matter what henderson said, even if he thought bisping was out, in the midst of the adrenaline of a huge fight, he can’t take that chance. plenty of fighters have been nearly knocked out and recovered and won their fights. no fighter is going to take that chance by stopping until the ref says stop. yeah, in this case the fighter was out – but that won’t always be true.

and no fighter is going to want your rule which will lead to more and more early stoppages or missed wins because you had to let up on your opponent.

It just feels so right when someone who needs to shut up gets knocked the f*ck out. Thanks Dan!

A MESSAGE FOR MAD DOG

hey mad dog ,, you talking about me?? with a name like Mad Dog you must think you are tough.. but not. its obvious in the way talk about getting in the cage that you never been in one, oh accept at the Gay Bar. Mustache wearing, leather and Village people loving Mad Dog.. funny how when you try to be creative and say something about someone that you use the word licking in your comment.. nuff said. and i would meet you anytime in a cage,, not at the gay bar, in a fighting cage. it sure looks different from the inside. and yes we who do enter the fighting cage or ring are warriors and athletes.. just let me know how long you need to train and where you would like to do this.. my Gym would gladly host such a beating.. and through my Teams website i am sure we can air it for the fans,, and if your lucky you will see the flying forearm fist as well.. I am an aspiring fighter who has yet to hit the big stage,, but it will come.. giving you a flying forearm fist would be my pleasure. my advice as well is to not circle left. I like to fight at 185 but for you i can go up to probably 210-220,, or cut to about 165-170. i am in the centre of Canada, home of a few UFC stars, one of which is actually a main event member of team Quest (Hendos team). hey i know you are a pussy and have never been in a fight accept for the time your boyfriend stuck you with a potato. so seriously you should just comment on what you know and thats FELCHING…you give yourself up as couch Homo simply by stating that you should ever let up in a fight, not hit a downed opponent, i have never heard a coach tell a fighter to check and make sure the guy isnt out before striking again. from day one you are taught to attack,attack and attack until you here a bell or ref stoppage. that shot was clean. time it, it was only a split second before the second punch and then he was stopped. sounds proper to me. and to ask a guy who fights to take it easy and not to hit a downed opponent would be career suicide. Hendo is a class act always.. He could have and should have wailed on him till the ref tackled him like some fighters need to be. so seriously dont act like your tuff till you are ready to mix it up. and when you do make sure that the gay you are fighting that trashed talked and insulted you for 3 months dosent get hurt alright.. be careful, thoughtful and caring, cuz being in a fight should be painless and nice. cuz the other guy facing you isnt looking to smash in your face or break your arm, no not at all. ITS A FIGHT, watch chess if its to violent..

Mad Dog,, oooooooooo scary. really i am game tho, all i ask is an aids test before hand so when you bleed everywhere,, (well accept for your ass this time) you dont kill me like your boyfriends.. and if you get a chance to pound my face if i am stupid and sleeping on the mat, giver. its the nature of the game. get in what you can before ref stoppage, the idea is make sure your opponent does not get up.

Fighters give there life to the sport. no glory for the most of us, no money, just hard , hard work.. i am tired of non fighting couch critiquing pussies like yourself trying to stain and dog a sport you pay money to watch. go to a local Gym and ask any of them if they wouldve stopped after a knockdown to see if he was ok. and ask if you can train with them for a day and sparr. you are too scared to even walk in a Gym. I am sure you were the picked on kid at school.. fighting is a bloody, violent sport. its what we do.. before making judgments walk in the shoes of a fighter. It might teach you a thing or two,, and possibly some respect for the guys who made it what it is you are willing to pay to watch.. Man (i mean biaatch) I cant believe you pissed me off like that. just tired of hearing it i guess. anytime anywhere. anywhere there is a ring or cage that is, so there can be ref stoppage for you. Tell your boyfriend not to go cuz 2 crying gays is too much. shit i might be able raise prize money even. and if we do it here,, when you go to hospital you can be treated for free, bonus. We have free health care here in case you didnt know that. another great perk about living in Canada.

I apologize to all the real fighters and fans for all posts i made after the fight. it wasnt posting so i tried a couple times,then suddenly they all appeared.and i also apologize for this one too. Something about a Gay who calls himself Mad Dog talking shit about a fight and a fighter where there could have been more ground and pound than one punch. Hendo is and always will be a class act.. and I dont know Jason Day personally but he could kick in your face. so strap em on oops i mean put the gloves on not strap one on.

Peace out fans and fighters, Much love and respect.

Dan you are the man. you are not only a shining star fighter you are a great role model for up and coming fighters. I used to like Michael “OUT FOR THE COUNT” Bisping until he proved to be a real jack-ass when he squirt water on Dans teamate. Thats like a 12th grader picking on a sixth grader…. You were so out of line and it was pure ecstacy to see you get knocked the FU-C OUT. SHUT YOUR DAMN MOUTH NEXT TIME.HAHAHA

Go back to England you loud mouth cocky over hyped joke.

Dan served you up real good!

You got what you deserved tough guy.

I was hoping to see Dan do that to Anderson Silva. Silva comes across as much cockier than Bisping. Bisping seems like a cool guy, actually. I want to see Hendo or Wandy stop Silva. After Forrest does at 205.
