At UFC 124, you saw why Georges St. Pierre is considered one of the pound-for-pound best MMA fighters in the world. Along with a great main event, it showed the return of Thiago Alves to vintage form and a scary Lightweight Contender in Jim Miller. It was fun night of fights and the Montreal fans were as crazy as ever. Here were the results from the event:

1. GSP completely dominated Koscheck with ease

The most amazing aspect of Georges St. Pierre’s game is that he’s able to completely take his opponents out of their comfort zone. We’ve seen it with his wrestling, kickboxing, and now against Josh Koscheck — his boxing. He literally kept Koscheck at bay with a stiff jab that landed consistently throughout the whole fight. It was truly a mixed martial arts fight where you saw everything, mostly coming from GSP.

People are going to criticize GSP for not finishing the fight, but come on — he completely dominated. I really thought Koscheck would have a chance against him, but after this fight — I don’t see anyone in the UFC Welterweight Division beating GSP.

(-1) Prediction: Josh Koscheck over Georges St. Pierre

2. Stefan Struve escapes a submission and lands a TKO

I really thought Stefan Struve was a huge mismatch against Sean McCorkle. Then in the beginning of the round, McCorkle was very close in ending the fight with a keylock — my jaw literally dropped thinking the fight was over. Luckily, Struve was calm enough to escape and reverse the position into his mount on McCorkle. From that point, the fight was over. Let’s see Struve fight a Top 10 Heavyweight.

3. Jim Miller wants the respect he deserves in the Lightweight Division

I was blown away with Jim Miller’s performance against Charles Oliveira. I definitely see that coming, but boy did it come. Miller seemed like he was fighting with a chip on his shoulder and during the press conference, you knew why. After submitting the highly touted prospect with a knee bar, Miller yelled, “I want my shot!” during his interview with Joe Rogan. He’s 8-1 in the UFC, with only loses to Frankie Edgar and Gray Maynard. He deserves a shot.

(-1) Prediction: Charles Oliveira over Jim MIller

4. Mac Danzig lands a flash knockout on Joe Stevenson

Did anyone think Mac Danzig had knockout power? I sure didn’t, but he put Joe Stevenson to sleep with a quick left hand moving back. It really looked like the Paul Daley knockout of Scott Smith in Strikeforce. I really don’t know where Stevenson goes from here, but Dana White says he’ll stay in the UFC despite loss. I really hope he rebuilds his career — I love comeback stories.

(-1) Prediction: Joe Stevenson over Mac Danzig

5. Thiago “Pitbull” Alves is back!

Thiago Alves returned back to form with some of the most technical Muay Thai against John Howard, a Muay Thai fighter himself. I loved watching this fight especially after watching the K-1 Grand Prix the night before. Thiago has some of the sickest kicks in MMA, and every time I see him whip that leg across I feel sorry for the body part it lands on. You just don’t see that type of striking consistently in MMA. Along with the striking, he also displayed some wrestling and judo — looks like he’s becoming a full-fledged mixed martial artist.
