Wow! What a card. It's been claimed the UFC having such a stranglehold on MMA is a bad thing. I can see how a monopoly can be a negative. However, the UFC continuously have the best fighting the best and often put on great cards. Makes for great viewing. This one was exceptional though, even for them.
GSP is back and what a performance. Bisping was too wary of the takedown to be as offensive as he usually is. He still enjoyed some success against his smaller opponent. However, GSP showed size isn't everything. Clinical finish. That said I do think he is too small for middleweight though. He actually looked like he was gassing at the start of the second due to the extra beef. If he can take the weight off and still be strong, a fight with Woodley would be an exciting prospect.
Garbrandt Dillashaw lived up to the bad blood and the build up from TUF. I really like both fighters, so was just happy it delivered as a spectacle. I think this has legs to turn into an ongoing rivalry. I think the result would be a lottery each time they fought.
Paolo Costa looked good again. He could be a force in the middleweight division. Be interesting to see if he has a tank if took to the 3rd. Namajunos was perhaps the biggest upset, especially the manner she dealt with JJ.
