    As Rashad Evans backed up to the cage with his arms up and his legs weak from a number of hard shots he had just taken from Thiago Silva during the last round of their bout on Saturday night, it appeared similar to the moments just before Lyoto Machida knocked Evans out in his last fight. “I was like, ‘No, this isn’t happening again,’” he said. “I just said, ‘Keep your composure.’ I was talking myself through it."

    Even though Paul Daley issued an apology to the 13,255 fans at MGM Grand Garden Arena Saturday night for his actions following a vicious knockout win over Dustin Hazelett, let’s be honest here. The UFC welterweight didn’t feel that bad about it.

    Rashad Evans did a lot of things in 2009. Winning a fight wasn’t one of them. After suffering his first professional loss in May to Lyoto Machida, Evans never got a chance to redeem himself last year. His only other scheduled fight, a clash with Quinton 'Rampage' Jackson in December, was canceled when Jackson pulled out.

UFC 158
Nick Diaz fails to back up years worth of talk

UFC 158 A welterweight title fight that felt incredibly different wound up remarkably the same. Georges St. Pierre manhandled nemesis Nick Diaz with his wrestling. St. Pierre won every round on every judges' scorecard in Montreal for his sixth straight unanimous-decision victory. Diaz had preached his superiority over St. Pierre for years, but when he finally got his chance, he looked as helpless as all the other challengers to the 170-pound division's throne in the last six years. St. Pierre's consistency continued to amaze. Now it's on to Johny Hendricks, who defeated Carlos Condit in the evening's co-main event. Could he be the one to finally threaten St. Pierre?
