Michael Bisping got his revenge, but it didn’t come easy.

“The Count” held off a still-dangerous Dan Henderson in their rematch at UFC 204 in Manchester on Saturday night, winning a five-round decision to retain his middleweight crown. Bisping survived harrowing knockdowns in the first and second frames to avenge a brutal KO loss to his rival at UFC 100 more than seven years ago.

After the defeat, Henderson confirmed that he will call it a career after 47 professional fights. The compelling nature of the rematch proved that sometimes traditional matchmaking isn’t the only way to go. Here is a by-the-numbers look at UFC 204, with statistics courtesy of FightMetric.com.
