One of the most anticipated bouts at UFC 132 saw Tito Ortiz pick up one of the biggest victories of his career, after he defeated light heavyweight prospect, Ryan Bader.
Both men came out and began to feel each other out, trading leg kicks in the process. Ortiz and Bader continued to circle. Then Ortiz stepped inside and landed a right hook that knocked down Bader. Ortiz continued his assault on his opponent shortly after, and applied an arm-in guillotine choke to submit Bader within two minutes of the opening round.
What’s next for Tito Ortiz? –
The win for “The Huntington Beach Boy” ended a five-fight winless streak, which has allowed Ortiz some breathing room for the moment and remain in the UFC. Since 2006, Ortiz has remained competitive throughout his losing skid, fighting some of the top fighters in the world such as Rashad Evans and Lyoto Machida. The win not only earned Ortiz a victory over a top fighter, but a chance to maintain some drawing power, as it could lead to a bout against respected veteran like Vladimir Matyushenko or the winner of Rich Franklin and Antonio Rogerio Nogueira.
What’s next for Ryan Bader? –
After suffering his second consecutive loss, Bader will likely remain out of action for the rest of the year. Bader’s time away will give him a chance to redefine his overall gameplan and evolve as a fighter. While a return to the Octagon before the end of the 2011 is a bit premature, Bader will need to re-solidify his status among the light heavyweight division if he intends to stay in contention. A bout against up and coming fighter, Alexander Gustafsson is possible, or a facing fellow wrestler Matt Hamill is also likely.

The UFC 132 results are in and the winners and losers are celebrating or recuperating after the big event. We had some awesome and shocking results on the card featuring the entertaining bantamweight title bout between Dominick Cruz and Urijah Faber.
In addition to that fight, we also saw one legend come out on top while another was violently knocked out.
We know who the winners and losers are in the official record book, but often, it is not as simple as that. As tonight proved, there are always times when the real winners and losers aren’t credited with a “W” or an “L” on their records.
With that said, let’s take a look at who were the real winners and losers tonight.

UFC 132 is over and it was a card to remember.
In the main event, UFC Bantamweight Champion Dominick Cruz fought in five fast-paced rounds to successfully defend his title against former WEC Featherweight Champion Urijah Faber.
Also on the card, Tito Ortiz earned his first victory since 2006 while Carlos Condit and Chris Leben picked up big knockout wins in the opening round of their bouts.
The other main card fight featured dangerous striker Dennis Siver and “Handsome” Matt Wiman. Siver won a controversial three-round decision.
These are the next steps that each winner should take in their careers.

Biggest Winner: Tito Ortiz/Melvin Guillard
Tito Ortiz was by far the biggest winner from UFC 132. With a first round submission over Ryan Bader, Ortiz answered all the critics in a big way, myself included, saving his UFC career with the win.
How did Ortiz do it? It all started with a crisp right hand to the jaw of Bader, which sent him to the mat with Ortiz eventually sinking in the guillotine choke at 1:56 of the first round.
Where does this put Ortiz now?
Fans may see Ortiz against the winner of Franklin vs Lil Nog, though I’d personally like to see more integration of the Strikeforce merger, with Ortiz matching up against “King” Mo Lawal.
I also have Melvin Guillard as an option 1a for biggest winner award. He showed his power yet again against tough as nails Shane Roller, and his stock probably rose the most out of any fighter on tonight’s card.
Guillard has made it known prior to his fight against Roller that Jim Miller was the fight he wanted. That fight is more of a possibility now that Guillard dominated Roller at UFC 132.
Biggest Loser: Ryan Bader/Wanderlei Silva
Ryan Bader’s stock dropped moderately with his loss against Jon Jones at UFC 126, but it has fallen off the radar after his loss to Tito Ortiz at UFC 132. Bader has now lost his last two in a row, and will likely take a little time off before facing a much lower ranked fighter likely.
I also feel that Wanderlei Silva was on the cusp of enjoying his 35th birthday tomorrow, but after slightly wobbling Leben, he found himself face down on the mat instead. He’s heading on the downside of his career, but it will be interesting to see who the UFC will match Wandy up against next.
