Belfort TKOs Bisping in 2nd, denies him title shot Source: The Underground Jan 19, 2013

The two circled each other for 45 seconds before Belfort finally threw a front kick. But Bisping countered with an inside leg kick against the southpaw. Belfort went high with his next kick, but couldn't find a home. Belfort faked a leaping kick, but Bisping answered it with a jab as he was backing away.
Midway through, Belfort tried to get inside to look for a home for his left hand, and it appeared the feeling-out process was over as the two started to throw with less caution. Belfort landed a pair of good left kicks to the body, but Bisping came on top of them with counters. But as the clock ran down, Belfort landed a kick up high that seemed to have Bisping stunned for a moment, and he took advantage with some punches inside that had Bisping retreating as the horn sounded.
Belfort looked to land with a 1-2 combination early in the second. But a little more than a minute in, with Bisping's hands near his chest, Belfort threw the same left high kick he threw in the first round and it landed flush, his shin drilling Bisping near his right eye. Bisping went down, and Belfort pounced to land several shots on the ground with Dan Miragliotta looking in.
