It may not have been the Super Bowl of MMA events, but at least UFC 126 has one thing over football's climactic game: it didn't force us to watch Fergie mime human emotions for an extended period of time.After a main event that resembled the finish to 'Karate Kid' just a little more than we were prepared for, it's time to break down all the action and see who were the biggest winners, losers, and everything in between after Saturday night in Las Vegas.
Biggest Winner: Anderson Silva
Admit it, when he spent the first couple minutes floating around the cage and blocking invisible punches, you thought to yourself: 'Dear God, not again.' Then he front-kicked Vitor Belfort in the face and you leapt three feet in the air while proclaiming him the greatest fighter to ever live. Such is the rollercoaster of emotions that comes with any Silva fight. Beating Belfort might not be the crowning jewel in his already stellar career, but doing it in action movie fashion can only add to his mythical status. Even if he retires tomorrow he'll be remembered as one of the greatest mixed martial artists of all time. Although if he retires before fighting GSP - who, one hopes, won't screw things up by losing to Jake Shields - it will be a minor tragedy.
