There was much to love about Saturday's UFC 179: Aldo vs. Mendes 2. The main event was one of the best fights of the year, perhaps even the best in the division's history. Gilbert Burns took another turn as a developing prospect. The fans in Rio de Janeiro were as amped for a UFC event as ever.
Yet, there was also quite a bit not to love. The card outside of the main event left a lot to be desired, there was an officiating snafu and respected fighters suffered perhaps career-altering losses.
It's time we look at the winners and the losers, the good and the bad, and the signal and the noise from Saturday's pay-per-view event.
