Fighters react to Kelvin Gastelum’s first-round knockout of former champ Michael Bisping
Gastelum was able to land a huge left hand that sent “The Count” crashing to the canvas and quickly put an end to the fight.
Bisping had taken the fight on extremely short-notice, having just fought and lost to Georges St-Pierre in the main event of UFC 217 on November 4 in New York.
That welter-weight has hands like a heavy-weight… which will probably be his weight tomorrow. #happyweight #UFCShanghai

Bisping wanted to fight. The UFC aren’t doctors. He had the option to tap as well as the option not to take the fight. As fighters we want to fight and make money. He liked the match up, just didn’t go his way. Had he won everyone would’ve been talking a rematch with GSP

Funny how when I finish Gastelum in my last fight, people said it was because he was a welterweight including the former champ who just got finished by him.
