One of the biggest fights in UFC history came to us on Saturday night, as Welterweight Champion Georges St. Pierre dominated Lightweight Champion B.J. Penn for four rounds, forcing the challenger's corner to throw in the towel after the fourth round. We've got the fallout from the show over on MMATorch.com, with a look at the payouts, bonuses, medical suspensions in more from the show. Also, Jed. I. Goodman has his Yes & No review column up for the show and I've got a look at the legend in the making that is Georges "Rush" St. Pierre. It's all at MMATorch.com, so take a look at the headlines from this weekend:

UFC NEWS: Five fighters take home an extra $65K with UFC 94 "fight night" bonuses


UFC NEWS: UFC 94 brings in $4.3 million from the gate with nearly 15,000 in attendance


UFC NEWS: GSP tops UFC 94 payroll with $400K


UFC NEWS: Penn, four others receive medical suspensions from UFC 94


GOODMAN COLUMN: Yes & No for UFC 94: St. Pierre vs. Penn 2


PENICK: UFC 94 - The cementing of a legacy, the building of a legend

EXCERPT: UFC 94's main event lived up to all of the hype, even if it wasn't quite what people were expecting. With the bright lights shining and millions watching around the world, Georges St. Pierre cemented himself as one of, if not the, best fighters in the world today. His four round decimation of B.J. Penn was nothing short of spectacular, as he used his reach advantage and wrestling to frustrate Penn in the first round, and once he took it to the ground in the second and beyond he was able to pass Penn's guard multiple times to maintain side control and unleash a relentless assault of elbows and punches. B.J. wasn't in this fight for a second. And while the fact that it wasn't more competitive dropped the fight down in the eyes of some, the sheer fact that St. Pierre has come as far as he has in the three years since the two last met made the fight a different type of spectacle. GSP is a beast; he's a monster at 170 lbs that is not only getting better, but doing so at an exponential rate...continue reading article.

We've also now got a new Torch Audio Update featuring Jason Bent and Matt Pelkey joining me to discuss Saturday's event. We cover the star making fight from Jon Jones, Lyoto Machida needing a title shot and Georges St. Pierre's dominance as well as the rest of the card.
