Minutes after Michael Bisping knocked out middleweight champ Luke Rockhold with a flurry of punches in the first round of UFC 199's main event, a slew of social reaction filtered in.

Michael Bisping closed as a +500 underdog (@Westgate_LV).

3rd-biggest upset in a title fight in UFC history (Holm-Rousey, Dillashaw-Barao)
The reaction of the night might have come from Chris Weidman, whose spot Bisping filled when Weidman pulled out on May 18 with a neck injury.
Don't know how to feel right now.

Mann... Congrats to Bisping. I'll be waiting in MSG for you to hand me over that belt. Good job.
