No one ever expected to see this:

Was there to witness that in person. Rockhold deserved some humble pie. Was definitely overlooking Bisping. Everybody there was in shock when it happened including me. I looked around the arena and you can see everybody was standing up looking around like, "Did that really just happen?". What a historic moment.

- Seeing Hendo KO Lombard was amazing. The crowd went ape shit. It was one of the loudest reactions I’ve ever experienced live at any sporting event.
- Faber and Cruz had great walkouts. The crowd was super hyped. Cruz received more cheers than Faber, I'd say 60/40.
- First fight on the card was Reyes vs. Kim and many people considered that to be the fight of the year. If you've never watched it, search for it on Google. Fight is INSANE!
- Got to see two of my favorites that night, Ortega and Holloway. Awesome to see how far they’ve come. Their fight at 226 is going to be a war.
- They also officially announced McGregor vs. Diaz 2 during the main card too. Nate Diaz was there and they showed him on the big screen. Crowd went crazy for him. Every time they would show Rousey the crowd would boo. LOL pretty funny.

Can't believe it's been two years already. WTFFFFF.

UFC 199 was an amazing card. So happy I was able to go.
Ahhh...I'll never forget that night.

Holy shit, it was two years ago? Time flies.

Dope ass card.
 
Was at D&B and was already disheartened thinking how easily rockhold is going to win as they were walking out. Then boom!

That card delivered. Was that hendo ko lombard too?
 
Definitely not a fan of the Count, but that was very gratifying.

... but it wasn't that.
 
And almost 9 years ago one of the most classic shoopable event in the ufc happened

That was pure bliss.

Real Cinderella story for Bisping.
 
That entire card was fucking bananas man.

NEVER forget that brawl with Polo Reyes and Maestro Dong Hyun Kim to start it off. One of my favorite fights ever.
 
Also the greatest post fight back and forth in UFC history

Looking forward to this post same time next year. And the year after.
 
‘‘Twas a great day to be sure.

Bisping reaching the pinnacle of his vocation, and righting what can really only be seen as a fluke loss to rockhold a few fights prior.

Hats off to Luke, though. Was graceful and respectful in the loss.
 
That was incredible to see.

And then the MW division stalled for 2+ years while everyone and their mother tried to get a fight with Bisping.
 
It was pretty awesome to watch live

however the fuckery/ducking for a year and a half wasn't worth it.
 
One of my favorites UFC moments, when he was on top of the cage and turn to Rockhold and screamed FUCK YOU! I lost my shit.{<jordan}
