Dominance is the only word to describe Georges St Pierre's fight with Thiago Alves. In an absolute clinic of an MMA fight GSP used superior wrestling and relentless takedowns to easily decision Thiago Alves over five grueling rounds. Judges scored the bout 50-45 twice and 50-44.
In a fight between the two Ultimate fighter trainers Michael Bisping is waking up this morning to a very bad headache after getting knocked out by Dan Henderson. From the opening bell Henderson looked to load up his huge right hand which Bisping even circled into. In the second round though there was no more circling from Bisping as Henderson caught him with a vicious right hand that knocked the British fighter unconscious.
When asked after the fight whether Henderson knew Bisping was knocked out cold when he followed up on the floor he said "Yeah I knew he was out I just wanted to shut him up once and for all"
