- The king stayed the king at UFC 191. For five rounds, Demetrious Johnson thoroughly ran game on John Dodson, unleashing the kind of complete performance that consistently lands "Mighty Mouse" near the top of pound-for-pound lists.
- It wasn't easy, or overly impressive, but Joseph Benavidez continues to be the top 125-pounder on the planet not nicknamed "Mighty Mouse," scoring a unanimous decision over fellow former title challenger Ali Bagautinov at UFC 192. It was Bagautinov's first bout since returning from a yearlong PED suspension.
- Olympic gold medalist Henry Cejudo faces the biggest challenge of his career on Nov. 21 in Mexico when he squares off with Jussier Formiga. Cejudo, who recently announced he'll no longer compete in Nevada in light of the Nick Diaz suspension, will likely get a title shot with a victory over the crafty Formiga.
- Kyoji Horiguchi ran his UFC record to 5-1 with an impressive decision victory over Chico Camus at UFC Fight Night 75 in Japan. Horiguchi's lone loss came against dominant division kingpin Johnson back in April.
