UFC 199 results: Full fight card winners and reaction from Rockhold vs. Bisping

Very few expected Michael Bisping to take the UFC middleweight title on Saturday night at UFC 199, but the British underdog shocked the world. Bisping caught Rockhold with a combination in the first round that forced the stoppage.

Bisping, a long-time contender in the UFC who had never earned a title shot, said afterwards that it was "the easiest fight of my life."

Rockhold admitted he "took (Bisping) for granted before the fight" and said he "should have fought my fight and not played around with him."

Bisping came in on only 17 days notice when former champ Christ Weidman pulled out of the event with a neck injury.

In the co-main event, bantamweight champ Dominick Cruz thoroughly dominated Urijah Faber. Cruz took a unanimous decision, winning all five rounds on two of the three judges' cards. Faber called Cruz's performance "a perfect fight" in his gracious post-fight statement.

Max Holloway emphatically established himself as a top contender for Conor McGregor's featherweight title with a unanimous decision win over fifth-ranked Ricardo Lamas. Holloway landed combination after combination and yet Lamas refused to be put away. The outcome was never in doubt and the 24-year-old Holloway seems to have a title shot in his future.

Veteran Dan Henderson burnished his legend with an incredible come from behind KO in the second round of his bout with Hector Lombard. The fight was back and forth from the beginning, with Hendo hurting Lombard early in the opener only to nearly get finished by a barrage of brutal strikes later in the round. Henderson dropped Lombard with an improbable high kick/reverse elbow combination, then finished him with a diving pair of elbows on the ground.

Dustin Poirier punished Bobby Green for obscene trash talk and finished his brash rival with punches in one round in the pay-per-view opener.

Brian Ortega took a while to get started against Clay Guida and was in real danger of getting a loss if the fight had gone to the judges. Ortega didn't let that happen though and finished Guida with a vicious knee to the head late in the third round of their Fox Sports 1 headliner.

Beneil Dariush got back on the winning track, beating James Vick up one side of the Octagon and down the other before it was stopped towards the end of the first round.

Jessica Andrade sent a message in her strawweight debut, demolishing former #1 contender Jessica Penne by TKO in the second round.

Alex "Bruce LeRoy" Caceres dropped Clay Miller early with a sharp left and utterly dominated the first two rounds of their Fox Sports 1 card opener. Miller came back strong in the third against a fading Caceres but couldn't get the finish, despite threatening with a tight armbar. It was too little, too late and Caceres took home the unanimous decision.

Sean Strickland used his sharp jab to edge Tom Breese in the featured bout on the Fight Pass card. Strickland took home the split decision win following a very close and not too exciting bout.

Luis Henrique da Silva survived some scares against Jonathan Wilson to emerge as the winner in a battle of two previously unbeaten prospects.

Muhammad Ali's son-in-law Kevin Casey was frustrated to have his bout against Elvis Mutapcic ruled a split draw. Casey dominated the first round and much of the second with his jiu-jitsu but Mutapcic came back strong in the second half of the fight and dominated a tired Casey on the feet.

Marco Polo Reyes and Dong Hyun Kim engaged in a wild brawl that saw both men give and receive numerous hard shots to the head. Reyes got the better of it, finally finishing the game Kim with a trio of hard right hands late in the third round.
