UFC 158 is in the books, and we now have a clear indication of where some of the top fighters in the 170-pound division rank. That’s due to the fact that all three of the main feature bouts of UFC 158 were all contested at welterweight, and all had top guys competing in them.
None were bigger than the evening’s main event between Georges St-Pierre and Nick Diaz. The bad blood coming into this one was evident, and it’s clear Diaz came in with the strategy to bloody up St-Pierre’s face.
The champion would have none of it, however, as he controlled all five rounds en route to yet another dominant decision.
Despite the bout going down much the way fans anticipated, there are still a number of takeaways from this fight that can be used in analysis of either man’s future fights.
