Inglewood, Calif. —
With his chest puffed out, a new championship belt slung over his left shoulder and an unlabeled beer in his right hand, Michael Bisping strutted into the UFC 199 post-fight news conference fashionably late Saturday night.
The timing of Bisping’s arrival at the media center of the Forum was as impeccable as the left hook he used to knock out Luke Rockhold at 3:36 of the first round in their main-event middleweight championship bout. Rockhold had just recounted how Bisping taunted him after the fight, and was in the middle of disparaging the new champion’s character.
