After another successful event in Philadelphia, the UFC has another light heavyweight contender, a "Phenom" back to his old ways and a young Canadian who continues to impress.
No. 1 star -- Rashad Evans: With a 15-month break between fights, Evans was expected to experience ring rust in his bout with Tito Ortiz. Ring rust must mean overwhelming power and precise striking to Evans, because that's exactly what he showed in the bout that ended with a second-round TKO. Next up? The winner of champ Jon Jones vs. Quinton Jackson, meaning that no matter who wins at UFC 135, MMA fans are in for another fun round of trash talk.
No. 2 star -- Vitor Belfort: In all of Belfort's highlight reels, you can see a young, curly-haired Belfort take out his opponents with dominating strikes. The curls are gone, but the he showed that he still has that power as he took out Yoshihiro Akiyama in less than two minutes. Now, he wants a chance to redeem himself against middleweight champ Anderson Silva after getting knocked out in February.
No. 3 star -- Rory MacDonald: At just 22, MacDonald already has three UFC wins under his belt. On Saturday night, he showed just why fans should be so excited about his future, TKOing Mike Pyle in the first round. His only loss is to Carlos Condit, and since then, he has rattled off wins over Nate Diaz and Pyle.
