Last Saturday, former middleweight champion Michael Bisping took on Kelvin Gastelum at UFC Fight Night 122 in Shangai.
Bisping accepted the bout on just three weeks' notice after losing his belt to Georges St-Pierre at UFC 217 in New York, but the risk did not pay off. In just 2 1/2 minutes, Bisping caught a left hand from Gastelum right on the button that knocked him unconscious.
