Michael Bisping left former Strikeforce champion Cung Le bruised, bloodied and beaten Saturday morning at UFC Fight Night 48 from China. Bisping earned a fourth round TKO victory after landing a knee and following up with strikes.
The win kept “The Count” from losing a second straight for the first time in his career. Earlier this year, Bisping dropped a decision to Tim Kennedy. For Le, the loss was the third of his career.
In other action, Tyron Woodley destroyed Dong Hyun Kim in just over a minute, missing a spinning elbow and following up with ground-and-pound.
Bisping, Woodley, Alberto Mina and Yuta Sasaki all earned “Performance of the Night” awards and $50,000. The attendance inside The Venetian CotaiArena was reported at 7,022.
