St. Pierre has avenged both of his losses, making short work of Matt Serra and defeating Hughes with an arm bar in two rounds of their five round title bout.

Since defeating Serra at UFC 83, St Pierre has gone down to a decision in his last five fights except for his title fight at UFC 94 with B.J. Penn. Penn quit on the stool after St Pierre dominated him.

Penn and Hughes have been the two fighters most associated with St Pierre and his toughest opponents. Penn has lost both times to St. Pierre but his first fight with Penn at UFC 58 was one of the most competitive of St. Pierre’s career.

The 170 pound division is St. Pierre’s to lose and every fighter UFC President Dana White puts in front of him has disappointed since B.J. Penn’s bout at UFC 58.

Early in St. Pierre’s career he was famous for his one round victories, he won eight of first 10 bouts in one round but he has not been quick on the trigger since UFC 54 when he defeated Frank Trigg with a one round rear-naked choke. St. Pierre’s career may eventually lead to a move up in weight fivisions but for now he dominates the 170 pound division.

St-Pierre has been dominant for years, but he hit a rough patch a few years ago. He lost his welterweight title belt and had to work to get it back. One his path to win back his belt he came across Josh Koscheck. These two fought and the match came down to a unanimous decision in favor of St-Pierre.

A lot of time has passed since that fight and these fighters are both better than ever. St-Pierre seems to improve in every aspect of his game. He is fast and powerful on his feet and he also has a ground game that rivals the best in his weight class.

Josh Koscheck is the number one contender and will have a lot on his plate while fighting “GSP” (Georges St-Pierre). However, he is a much better fighter than he was the last time these two squared off. Previously he was only known for his ground game and wrestling style. He has improved his game and he has become a great standup fighter and a tough striker. While he does have some room for improvement, he has all of the tools to take on the best in the game.

These fighters will be on the Main Card and should catch the attention of all of the MMA fans out there.

At UFC 117, after Jon Fitch defeated Thiago Alves, the age-old debate reared its head again, progressing his UFC record to 12-1. When it comes to title talk and, as things stand, such a record is difficult to ignore, as Fitch is the undoubted No. 3 welterweight in the UFC

At the end of the year, with Josh Koscheck set to face St-Pierre for the championship, there is the possibility that AKA team-mates Fitch and Koscheck would have to square off if the latter defeats GSP. However, to share the same Octagon, both men have so far declared their unwillingness.

Condit could find himself in a similar dilemma if he adds Hardy to his casualty list at UFC 120 and he is currently riding a two-fight win streak. The UFC could easily bill such a bout as the last WEC welterweight champion vs. the reigning UFC champion and the Jackson’s Submissions man has the type of ground game to keep St-Pierre honest. Condit admits that fighting GSP is difficult, but it would not stop him getting into the cage or even possibly placing a wager on hims own UFC betting lines.

He said, “It’d be very difficult because I love my camp, I love training with Greg, and obviously Georges is a big part of the team. We’d have to discuss it and cross that bridge when we get there. Put it this way, I’d love to fight Georges because he’s the man, and I want to fight the best in the world. I would love to fight for that belt.”

Talking about a Silva vs. GSP super fight, UFC commentators began the Abu Dhabi event as the next challenge on Silva’s agenda, if he defended his title against Demian Maia. White has decided to throw the middleweight champion towards the snarling Chael Sonnen, since the manner of that defense was so appalling to him.

After The Spider’s good friend Lyoto Machinda was dispossessed of his crown, the plan for Silva post-Sonnen is said to be a run at the light-heavyweight belt. St-Pierre may be too small for Silva, believes White, although he admits that he will have no choice but to put it together, if demand for the fight continues.

The UFC president said, “These guys still have a few fights to go before that could happen, we’re in the business of making fights that people want to see. For instance, right now, I am getting terrorized – and I am shocked that people keep doing it – to put on Anderson Silva vs. Georges St-Pierre. It starts to get to the point where I am like, ‘I guess if everybody wants to see this fight, maybe we make this fight “.

On the main card of UFC 115, in a pivotal welterweight bout, Thiago takes on Kampmann. Kampmann, at UFC 108, is coming off a submission win over Jacob Volkmann and he is ranked No.10. Finishing Mike Swick with a brabo choke Feb. 6 at UFC 109, the No. 5-ranked Thiago also scored a sub in his most recent bout.

“Kampmann is a very tough guy, with several victories by knockout and submission, He is very dangerous. I will have to be fine-tuned in combat, but I am prepared to make a good fight. It will be a great challenge”, said Thiago.

Thiago will be keeping an eye on the top of the welterweight division, even though he is focused on Kampmann. Against Josh Koscheck sometime after the two finishes coaching on the upcoming season of “The Ultimate Fighter”, champion Georges St. Pierre will defend his title.

Thiago believes Koscheck will be a tougher fight for GSP the second time around and respects him too. Thiago stopped the AKA-trained fighter in his UFC debut and this is something St. Pierre failed to do.

“Koscheck is getting into a very good rhythm, He is excellent both standing and on the floor. In addition, he is a fighter as strategic as GSP — we saw that in his last fight. He was able to strike with Paul Daley, but he preferred the smarter strategy in the fight and was very intelligent. It will be a tough fight for GSP”, said Thiago.

Thiago was also full of praise for GSP himself. The Brazilian does think St. Pierre will be tough to beat.

“He is a spectacular fighter. He is very good, He is an excellent strategist, very good at takedowns and dominates the whole game, but sometime someone will defeat him”, said Thiago said.
