Michael “The Count” Bisping made his dreams come true on Saturday night.

At the UFC 199 pay-per-view at The Forum in Inglewood, California, longtime UFC Middleweight contender Michael Bisping knocked out Luke Rockhold in the first round of the evening’s main event to become the new UFC 185-pound champion.

Bisping, as predicted, walked off a movie set, took a rematch against Rockhold on 17 days notice, and knocked him out to become the new UFC Middleweight Champion.

After the fight, “The Count” enjoyed a special moment inside the Octagon, celebrating the biggest victory of his career with his wife and children.
