UFC 204 Results: Who Left Manchester With The Middleweight Title?

It wasn't easy for Michael Bisping Saturday night at UFC 204, but the reigning middleweight champion got his revenge. Bisping successfully defended his title with a decision victory over Dan Henderson from the Manchester Arena in Manchester, England.

Henderson, who vowed to retire following the bout no matter the outcome, dropped "The Count" in both the first and second rounds with his "H-bomb." However, Bisping rallied the troops and the pro-British crowd, earning the decision in his first title defense.

Former Strikeforce champion Gegard Mousasi got the better of ex-UFC titleholder Vitor Belfort, delivering a TKO performance in the co-main event. Mousasi, who called out another Brazilian in Anderson Silva after the win, finished Belfort in the second round.

Jimi Manuwa knocked out Ovince Saint Preux in a light heavyweight showdown, while Stefan Struve and Mirsad Bektic each picked up submission wins on the main card from England.
