Fight Flashback: UFC 199

Shaun, Chuck, and Producer Chris flash back to UFC 199 and revisit one of MMA’s most incredible upsets with Michael Bisping stepping into the main event on two-weeks’ notice and knocking out Luke Rockhold to capture the Middleweight title, as well as Dominick Cruz successfully defending his Bantamweight crown in a trilogy fight against his longtime rival Urijah Faber in the co-main event, Max Holloway putting on eye-opening performance against Ricardo Lamas, featuring an all-time classic throwdown in the final ten seconds of round three, Dan Henderson’s vicious stoppage of Hector Lombard, and more.

Plus, the guys discuss other undercard highlights, Dan Henderson’s legacy, the highly entertaining and disrespectful post-fight press conference, the greatest what ifs and big picture takes, what’s aged the best and worst in retrospect, including Dana White’s now-infamous MMAFighting ban, the MVP of the night, and much more. And, to close the show, the guys hand out their first ever unanimous Interim Title of the Week.
