If UFC 99 was modest, the same cannot be said about UFC 199, which, although it wasn't as memorable as the 200th edition, marked by the gold canvas in the octagon, came close.
Held in California on June 04, 2016, UFC 199 featured two notable title fights. In the main fight, Michael Bisping crowned his great career by 'breaking the bank' with a knockout over the then middleweight champion (up to 83,9 kg) Luke Rockhold. In the co-main, Dominick Cruz regained the bantamweight belt (up to 61,2 kg) in victory over his rival Urijah faber.
The event also featured some names that would become champions of the organization in the future. On the preliminary card, the welterweight (up to 77,1 kg) Sean Strickland won Tom Breese in a tight decision, while Jessica Stacker surpassed the 'chará' Jessica penne on the way to the strawweight belt (up to 52,1 kg).
On the main card, Dustin poirier, one of the main stars of UFC 299, knocked out Bobby Green, While Max Holloway, future featherweight legend, surpassed Ricardo Lamas.
