UFC 158 is in the books, and after five rounds of action, Georges St-Pierre retained his title in front of his home crowd.
St-Pierre out-wrestled Nick Diaz to earn a unanimous decision victory.
Twitter was buzzing about this fight, but St-Pierre’s win may actually be overshadowed by Diaz‘s alleged retirement and the great show that Carlos Condit and Johny Hendricks put on.
Here are some of Twitter’s reactions to St-Pierre’s win:
GSP does it again! Eight times, not bad!

Light heavyweight contender Dan Henderson praised St-Pierre’s wrestling and made another plea for Olympic wrestling.
When GSP gets the TD it’s like watching a lifetime movie. You know how it’s going to play out, but you hope she can leave him somehow.

You’re going to see a lot of this, but i’m predicting that Johny Hendricks will beat GSP and take that welterweight title.
