Michael Bisping, like many, watched UFC 269. Following the event, the former UFC middleweight champion gave his thoughts on the main event, which saw lightweight king Charles 'Do Bronx' Oliveira defend his title against Dustin 'The Diamond' Poirier.

Michael Bisping, who does YouTube breakdowns, was ready to analyze the incredible final pay-per-view headliner of the year.

Going into the fight, the Brazilian champion had amassed an impressive nine-fight win streak. Oliveira defeated the likes of Kevin Lee and Tony Ferguson before securing the vacant belt in a winning effort against former Bellator lightweight champion Michael Chandler.

Dustin Poirier, meanwhile, had won seven of his previous eight bouts, including victories over Conor McGregor, Eddie Alvarez, Justin Gaethje and Max Holloway. The Louisiana native's only loss in that stretch came to then-champion Khabib Nurmagomedov.

Despite a strong start, Poirier succumbed to a rear-naked choke in the third round, further legitimizing Oliveira's place on the throne.

The win caught the eye of UFC Hall of Famer and color commentator Michael Bisping. In a video uploaded to his YouTube channel, 'The Count' gave a live reaction to the fight. Giving Oliveira his props, Bisping said:

"I've got to say, well done to Charles Oliveira. That man walked Dustin Poirier down. He was willing to take the shots he got dropped, he got right in his face, he took him down, he was technically brilliant on the ground and then in round three went right back to the well, got the body lock, took the back standing and choked him out to retain the belt, to stay the champ."
