UFC 83 in Montreal was all it was expected to be, filled with exciting bouts and monster fighters going at each other.

The night started off with Mac Danzig obtaining his first win in the UFC since winning the Ultimate Fighter TV show.

The next big fight on the card was Rich Franklin vs Travis Lutter. This was a battle of the No. 2 and No. 3 fighters in the middleweight division.

The first round belonged to Lutter for the most part until his energy was almost completely gone. That's when Franklin stepped up and started to wear him down.

The second round was the end for Lutter. He was completely out of gas and couldn't protect himself. The referee awarded the TKO victory to Franklin.

Then it was time for the fight of the night, Georges St. Pierre vs Matt Serra. Right out of the gate, George St. Pierre came out and took Serra down pretty easily.

From there it was all St. Pierre, he got on top and would not let Serra out of his gun sights.

St. Pierre ended the champ's run in the second round by a TKO and took back his title.

Now that he is back on top of the division, it looks like no one can match his desire and work ethic to take his title away.
