There was much to love and hate about UFC 161: Evans vs. Henderson. Let's separate the winners from the losers, the best from the worst and the signal from the noise.

Monday's show featured interviews with Randy Couture, Anthony Pettis, Josh Burkman, Muhammed Lawal, Ed Soares and Dave Meltzer.

Unfortunately for Roy Nelson, things didn't quite work out as planned. But if "Big Country" was looking for sympathy, he didn't need to turn towards his boss, UFC President Dana White.

Regardless of Benson Henderson's history with Anthony Pettis, the lightweight champ's message is clear.

Dana White was critical of both referee Steve Mazzagatti and the Nevada State Athletic Commission on Saturday night, but this time, it was about something that wasn't even on a UFC show.

Every major UFC fight has significant repercussions to the careers of the participants, but the stakes were higher than usual for the top names at UFC 161, due to the stage of their respective careers.

To steal a phrase from former NFL coach Dennis Green, Rashad Evans and Dan Henderson are what we thought they were.

As Anthony Pettis heals from his knee injury, Dana White will wait and see what happens at featherweight and lightweight before deciding his next move.
