The fans in Montreal got an early Christmas present when their homegrown champion gave them 25 minutes worth of domination, but what about UFC 124's supporting cast? While some fighters took a step forward on Saturday night, others likely stepped out of the picture entirely, and at least one found himself just barely hanging on.Without further delay, let's take a look at the winners, losers, and everything in between after UFC 124.
Biggest Winner: Georges St. Pierre
Watching GSP out-jab Koscheck for five rounds was like watching a mongoose fight a sponge. He was simply too quick and too precise, and that was before Koscheck was forced to try and defend himself with the use of only one eye. You can say what you will about the pound-for-pound debate, but there is no champion in all of MMA who is currently more dominant in his weight class. Now that he's proven his ability to pick apart with strikes what few opponents he can't easily outwrestle, a lot of 170-pounders in the UFC are probably considering going up or down in weight this morning. It's either that, or wait for the 29-year-old champion's skills to atrophy with age. Better get comfortable, because it's probably going to be a while.
