Over the past several years, mixed martial arts has rapidly become the world’s fastest growing sport.

A major reason for this growth can be credited to the world-class fighters who dedicated their lives to the sport they truly love.

Not only have fans seen some of the greatest brawls, but knockouts as well.

While there are many great knockout artists still fighting today, there are some who have stepped away from the sport.

Perhaps the biggest event in the history of mixed martial arts is now complete after an exciting main event between Junior dos Santos and Cain Velasquez for the UFC heavyweight championship of the world. Bleacher Report is here with this and the rest of the winners and losers from tonight’s monumental fight card.

The UFC made its network television return tonight on FOX with this extremely important fight. As UFC President Dana White said in the pre-fight analysis, it was important for the organization to put its “best foot forward.”

It did just that.

The main event was obviously the main course, but the appetizers were amazing tonight as well.

So without further, let’s take a look at the real winners and losers from what was perhaps the most important night in the history of the entire sport of mixed martial arts.

Birmingham, England played host to tonight’s UFC 138 event headlined by Mark Muñoz and Chris Leben. “The Filipino Wrecking Machine” defeated “The Crippler” by doctor’s stoppage between the second and third rounds.

It wasn’t the most stacked event ever, but it was definitely a card worth watching with an entertaining main event.

Like most MMA events, tonight proved again that you don’t necessarily have to be involved in the fight card to be affected by its outcome. The real winners and losers often don’t show up in the record books, and tonight was no different as many outsiders were affected.

With that said, let’s take a closer look at UFC 138: Muñoz vs. Leben and examine who the real winners and losers were.
