For those who weren't around back then, Chael did indeed get the next title shot, which he won. He then defended his belt several times before retiring with a perfect, undefeated record.

[@C_R_O_M________]

I like Chael cuz you can tell he a straight up business man. He'll talk mad shit before a fight so he can sell mad tickets and bring eyes to the sport, but at the end of every fight, he never shits on his opponents. He gives credit where it's due and he goes about doing his thing. Respect.

[@Bjornisen]

yes i agree!!

[@tafftastic]

Straight up business man? The guy was found guilty of a federal money laundering when he was in business! He's a terrible and crooked business man. And a drugs cheat. Great entertainer though.

[@buckfutter1009]

Pffft If you had read Chaels book you would know that that money laundering charge was a complete mistake

[@tafftastic]

I don't care what the book he wrote says. He admitted guilt in court. So that, by definition alone, makes him guilty. It was clearly proven he paid a kickback while he was a Republican politician to some shell company that his mother owned over some dodgy housing deal.

Part of the reason he said the "never lost a round" thing was to be consistent with his character & keep the bit going. However, a big part of it was to compliment Bisping. He wanted everyone listening to know how tough a fight Michael gave him. So he was able to say, "I can't say that anymore" (referring to having never lost a round), and give that respect to his opponent.
