This knockout was so incredible, so unbelievably powerful and full of meaning, it immediately went down as one of the greatest knockouts in the entire history of organized MMA. It was truly that special.
The audience at home got their wish, as Henderson delivered in the best way he possibly could, finally landing a punch so hard that the arrogant Bisping was finally rendered speechless.
The unconscious part was a pleasant side bonus.
Surely, though, the customers purchasing and viewing on their TV sets couldn't compare, whatsoever, to the live audience of a reported 10,871 delirious fans in attendance at the Mandalay Bay Events Center in Las Vegas, Nevada.
Luckily, our Founder and Commander-in-Chief here at MMAmania.com, Thomas Myers, was live on the scene bearing witness to all the pandemonium.
Here's how he described the atmosphere in the building when Henderson sent Bisping's head into the cheap seats:
The knockout elevated this show to a level that earned it "Event of the Year" by most major publications. The importance of the moment added to the significance of the performance turned in by Henderson, who, if he wasn't before, was now a full blown American hero.
To this day, the videos and .gifs play on throughout mixed martial arts forums all over the Internet. By all means, please feel free to share your personal favorites in the comments section below.
