Bisping had been promised a crack at world champion Anderson Silva if he beat Henderson, his rival coach in a recent TV series which pitched a UK team against a USA one.
But Henderson just had too much in his armoury for him and it all left Bisping saying: I was found wanting and I know it.
Henderson won it fair and square and I have nothing but praise for him. Bisping received a vote of confidence from the UFC’s Marshall Zelaznik, who said: You have nothing to worry about when it comes to debating if Michael comes back and wins a world title or not.
He will certainly do that. Of that I have absolutely no doubts whatsoever. The thing about UFC, unlike boxing, is that losing a fight doesn’t mean that you are finished.
You can lose fights in our organisation and still go on for world titles.
Bisping agreed, adding: I have seen people like my training partner ‘Rampage’ Jackson lose fights in one or two rounds and still go on to become one of the best light-heavyweight fighters of them all, so I am not disheartened in any way.
