Michael Bisping not only retained the UFC middleweight championship, he won the UFC trash-talk title, as well.

On his home turf in Manchester, England, Bisping bested the retiring Dan Henderson by a controversial unanimous decision. He was ahead 48-47 on two judges' cards and 49-46 on the other. Many observers thought Henderson won the fight but didn't get the decision because the judges wanted to give it to the hometown guy who isn't leaving the Octagon for good.


While Bisping sang Henderson's praises, he didn't have many nice things to say to the rest of the division. Standing in front of his home fans, he didn't mince words when it came to his feelings about the rest of the potential contenders.

Henderson certainly left his mark on Bisping in his last fight in UFC. He dropped the champ twice in the five-round bout. There was also significant swelling just underneath Bisping's left eye.

Bisping's 20th UFC victory is the most in the promotion's history, and a sweet measure of revenge against Henderson, who knocked out Bisping seven years ago at UFC 100. With Bisping now riding a five-match winning streak, it's unclear who his next challenger will be.
