    Rumble putting the belt on DC has to be one of the coolest sportsmanship moments in sports history.

    • @dubbeking
      @dubbeking Pƙed 2 lety +98

      Rumble was a complicated guy. One, he was one of the finest strikers north of 170 we've ever seen.
      Two, he was a true sport with a humble approach to a demanding sport.
      Three, he would quit at the slightest sign of adversity in any fight.
      Four, he's been the subject of how many domestic abuse allegations at this point.

Bisping on the other hand beat a prime Luke Rockhold who seemed unstopped and was finishing everyone (Including Bisping who he beat with ease a year and half prior) Add to the fact that Bisping had three #1 contender fights in his career and lost every one of them, never getting a chance to fight for gold. Bisping got the opportunity to step in for an injured Weidman on 2 weeks notice to fight a man who already mopped the floor with him. Literally no one gave him a shot in the fight. Bisping who is known as a volume puncher and never had a single clean KO victory in his UFC career... KNOCKS ROCKHOLD THE FUCK OUT. One of the greatest moments in the sports history.
