10 Most Heated Rivalries In UFC History

8. Dan Henderson Vs. Michael Bisping

For Dan Henderson, there was no more satisfying feeling than KO'ing Michael Bisping with one of the greatest shots thrown in UFC history back at UFC 100.

The reason for the satisfaction was down to the hatred that had developed between the two middleweight contenders. Famously, Bisping had one of the biggest and loudest mouths in the fight game - and The Count used those verbal skills to prod and prod and prod Hendo during the pair's time as coaches on The Ultimate Fighter.

While he's not particularly thought of as a big-time trash talker, one thing Henderson is famed for is his famed H-Bomb punches. And it was one of Hendo's trademark bombs that left Bisping lying. Not only that, but Henderson caused controversy by landing one heavy extra shot on the prone and KO'd Englishman.

Bisping was irate about this extra shot, while Henderson didn't get a sh*t and was honest in saying that the extra hit was done as a way to shut his opponent up.

Before all was said and done with both fighters' careers, a rematch would see Bisping get a decision victory at UFC 204 in what proved to be the final fight of Dan Henderson's career.
