Heavyweight division: Mirko Filopovic vs Shane Carwin

Middleweight division: Patrick Cote vs Tom Lawlor

 

In a fight where both men's lines were on the job, you'd expect a bit more action, but no such luck, as Lawlor and Cote bored the crowd for a full 15 minutes, with Cote decisively winning the decision.

UFC Welterweight Championship: Georges St. Pierre © vs Josh Koscheck

 

The boos were loud as Koscheck entered the arena, and the smile on his face couldn't be bigger. Or could it? With only a minute left in the fight, being held in GSP's half guard, Koscheck managed to catch the champion in a guillotine, a fatal one as the hometown hero quickly tapped out, and the boos only got louder as Dana White put the title belt around Koscheck's waist.

 

Winner by submission (guillotine choke) and NEW UFC Welterweight champion: Josh Koscheck
