UFC 174, from Vancouver, Canada, has come and gone. What have we learned? The card brought us the return of former UFC heavyweight champion Andrei Arlovski, a key welterweight bout between Tyron Woodley and Rory MacDonald with title implications, the debut of a pair of woman's bantamweight fighters on the big stage, some vicious injuries, and plenty to talk about. And lets not forget the flyweight title bout that headlined the card, a five round affair between Demitrious "Mighty Mouse" Johnson and Ali "the Puncher King" Bagautinov. Could Bagautinov upset the only flywight champion the UFC has ever known, or would it be a case of too much, too soon from the Dagestani fighter? Was it worth the money? Can the smaller weight classes hold their own when headlining a PPV card? Would Rory Macdonald mail in a lacklustre performance similar to his Ellenberger bout, or go back to his effective killer ways? Could Ryan Bader build from his dominant performance against Anthony Perosh while going up against stiffer competition in former Strikeforce Champion Rafael "Feijao" Cavalcante? Lets take a look at 10 things we learned from UFC 174: Johnson vs. Bagautinov
