A great edition of the UFC tournament. The first in Canada. One of the highlights being Mac Danzig's win over Mark Bocek. I loved how the Canadian fans cheered for the American, Danzig, showing their appreciation of a great fight. It's great to see Michael Bisping doing well and winning over fans. I hope to see great things from him.
Nate Quarry scored a dominant win over Kaliv Starnes. Starnes exhibited an embarrassing running effort. And even worse, mocking of the crowd. You have to show maturity, even in defeat. His ridiculous effort resulted in his dismissal from the UFC. Even after, he continued blaming others. Quarry's Rocky quote was priceless.
One of my favorites, Rich Franklin beat Travis Lutter. Lutter as well was released by the UFC because of a weak performance. I didn't think he did that badly, Franklin is just a better fighter.
The title fight was an incredible battle. Matt Serra vs.Georges St. Pierre. The outcome at no time was obvious. With Serra defending his welterweight belt, St. Pierre was eager to redeem himself from their previous fight. I didn't know St. Pierre had such a good ground game. With his win, G.S.P. is well on his way to dominating the sport.
In an additional pre-card match, Jonathan Goulet vs. Kuniyoshi Hironaka gave a great show. I'm really impressed by Goulet, can't wait to see more of him.
