2. Michael Bisping vs. Matt Hammill
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QggAW2r2VNU Event: UFC 75, September 2007 Bisping didn't compete long at light heavyweight in the UFC, but he did go on a four fight win streak before losing to Rashad Evans at UFC 78. If there was a key win during that time, a win over a fighter with name value, then it was over Matt "The Hammer" Hammill, who had also appeared on The Ultimate Fighter 3 alongside Bisping. It was a unanimous decision victory, and it may not have been as exciting a match as the one prior to it, a Fight of the Night effort against Elvis Sinosic, but it was the biggest win as far as name value that Bisping had in the light heavyweight division. It got him the shot against Rashad, and had he won that, perhaps he would have stuck around at 205lbs a while longer.
