Bisping defends Henderson’s actions

British MMA star Michael Bisping has defended Dan Henderson’s actions at the end of their fight at UFC 100.

Henderson punched Bisping while the British fighter was unconscious and have been heavily criticized in recent days.

Bisping told Fighters Only: “I know there’s been some controversy, but I don’t have any bad feelings about him landing that second shot when I was on the ground. That MMA, you keep hitting until the ref pulls you off. I would have done the same to Dan,” he laughs. “And, anyway, I didn’t feel a thing so it made no difference to me.”

“Fair play to him, he caught me and knocked me out. Everyone saw it. It is a setback, I am pissed off, I was close to a title shot but I will be back. The worst has [now] happened to me. It doesn’t get any worse than my last fight, so what’s to worry about next time?

“If anything, this will make me more aggressive in my next fight – I feel really sorry for whomever I fight next. I am a little embarrassed, I’m pissed off, and I just want to fight as soon as can be.”
