Michael Bisping is still floating on cloud nine — or suffering from a serious hangover — after knocking out Luke Rockhold at this past weekend’s (Sat., June 4, 2016) UFC 199 pay-per-view (PPV) event in Los Angeles, Calif., to become the undisputed Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) middleweight champion.

Congrats to @bisping on becoming britains first @ufc world champ.x
