Georges St-Pierre has a tough act to follow after capturing the UFC middleweight title in his return to the octagon early Sunday in New York. He ended UFC 217 by reasserting himself as a top star in the sport, turning the championship bout into a mismatch. St-Pierre’s 13th straight UFC victory made it three for three for the championship challengers in front of 18,201 fans in the promotion’s second card at the Garden in 12 months. Against the trash-talking Bisping, St-Pierre had takedowns in each of the first two rounds. If St-Pierre represents UFC’s glory years, Namajunas could be the PPV poster child for the future.
