It’s been four years since Dan Henderson knocked out Michael Bisping and finally, The Count admits that he doesn’t even really remember from that fateful night the H-bomb was born.
In speaking with British outlet BTsport, he confirmed what we already assumed anyways.
“I fought Dan Henderson in 2009 and I lost and that was at UFC 100 – UFC 100 was the biggest pay-per-view the company’s ever done. 1.6 million pay-per-view buys, watched all over the world, and of course I get knocked out cold after talking lots of smack leading up to the fight. So I got my just desserts in that one.
“After the fight, I don’t remember anything. I remember being in the showers and I didn’t have a clue what was going on, I was saying to my manager at the time, ‘I can’t be knocked out cause I’m not fighting for another two months, what the hell are you talking about?’ and then these people come and go ‘Michael we need to take you to the hospital’. I’m like I’m not going to the hospital and then I’d say again, ‘what’s going on’, I’d just keep repeating myself.”
“In my mind I thought I had somehow been convinced, I thought I was there to corner somebody, and I had been convinced to step in on short notice to fight, that’s what was going on in my head. I was like ‘why have I fought tonight? I’m not supposed to fight for another two months!’.
“Eventually they coerced me into the ambulance and we’re rolling to the hospital and after a while it kind of dawned on me.”
While Bisping can’t remember what happened, I can never forget.
