Michael Bisping viciously KOed Luke Rockhold in the first round at UFC 199. 'The Count' accepted the fight on short notice and became the first ever Brit to win a UFC title. Dana White revealed, that his first title defense would not be against a top-five opponent but rather Dan Henderson, weeks after Bisping's upset victory.

The bout will serve as a rematch of their UFC 100 meeting and Bisping himself confirmed on Sirius XM Radio that him and Dan Hendo will meet again on October 8, 2016 in Manchester, England.
