5. Michael Bisping vs. Brian Stann
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BHpyTRHTCK8 Event: UFC 152, September 2012 Brian Stann was a solid middleweight fighter with the potential to go far in the division. However, after losing to Bisping, Chael Sonnen, and Wanderlei Silva (in a brutal Fight of the Night war in 2013) Stann called it a day. He was still a fantastic fighter, however, and a win over him is definitely a notch on anyone's belt. This fight remains the most recent highlight on Bisping's record, given that his only win since came due to an eye poke that rendered Alan Belcher unable to finish their fight at UFC 159 in New Jersey. The Stann victory is an extremely solid win. Stann was the WEC's light heavyweight champion in 2008, winning the belt from Doug Marshall (who challenged for the Bellator middleweight champion late last year). As a result, Bisping can claim to have a win over a former champion from a top organization, as the WEC was a major force in MMA til it was bought out by the UFC and its fighters merged into the big show.
