UFC 156 results recap: Jose Aldo vs. Frankie Edgar event wrap up from Las Vegas

20130202_gav_sv5_167

UFC 156: "Aldo vs. Edgar" blew the roof off the Mandalay Bay Events Center in Las Vegas, Nevada, this past Sat., Feb. 2, 2013, featuring a main event of Featherweight Champion Jose Aldo taking a hard fought unanimous decision victory over division debutante Frankie Edgar.


Once again, close but no cigar.


The co-headlining attraction saw Rashad Evans lose all hope of a middleweight title shot against Anderson Silva with his bizarre performance against Antonio Rogerio Nogueira resulting in a decision loss.


The other three main card bouts saw Antonio Silva shock the world by knocking out Alistair Overeem, Demian Maia do the same but in a grinding decision win over Jon Fitch, and Joseph Benavidez beating Ian McCall.


In cased you missed any or all of it -- or just want to keep the discussion alive -- below are links to all the major storylines borne from Saturday night's event in "Sin City."
