Michael Bisping earned a lot of respect and some new fans on Saturday night as he went the distance with top middleweight contender Chael Sonnen at UFC On Fox 2.

Although the judges scored the bout unanimously in favour of Sonnen, Bisping believes that he has a case for winning the first two rounds.

Staying respectful to Sonnen, "The Count" congratulates the American on his win and states that there are a lot of years left in him yet and that he will contest for the title soon.
