Kathmandu:november 11/27/2017/ monday Birbal Tamang.
Fans in Shanghai witnessed the falling of a giant at the UFC’s first event staged in mainland China Saturday.
Former
middleweight champion Michael Bisping was knocked out halfway through
the first round by Kelvin Gastelum in the card’s main event. A raucous
crowd fell absolutely silent as a Bisping was caught with a vicious left
hand and fell to the canvas for his second stoppage loss
The
reason Bisping was allowed to fight in China to begin with just 21 days
after getting dropped and submitted by Georges St-Pierre is a little
murky, as he was given a 30-day medical suspension from the New York
State Athletic Commission after the defeat to GSP. The ban was reportedly dropped from 30 to seven days, which allowed Bisping to headline the card at UFC Fight Night 122.
Bisping
took the risky fight on short notice against the dangerous Gastelum as a
fill-in for Anderson Silva, who was removed from the card after testing
positive for a banned substance.
The
Englishman won’t be letting his career end on this tough note, however,
as Bisping announced after the bout that he still plans to retire on
home soil in March after UFC Fight Night 127 at The O2 in London,
England.
in three
weeks.
