5. Georges St-Pierre defeated Johny Hendricks via split decision to retain the UFC Welterweight Championship.

Powell's POV: GSP scored a controversial split decision that was booed by many fans in attendance. I had Hendricks winning the fight 48-47, but I felt that a case could be made for GSP taking a close round one, which would have been enough to give him the win since he clearly took rounds three and five. GSP, whose face took quite a pounding, announced his plan to "hang up the gloves for a little bit" to take care of personal business. It didn't seem like a definitive retirement, and there will obviously be a great deal of interest in a rematch between the two fighters.
