In every fight card that's especially true for someone. Most fans and analysts figured it would be Uriah Hall heading back down the way he came up, after a fight with Gegard Mousasi. Instead, it feels more like an end to Mousasi's time as a real potential top contender for the 185 lb belt. He wanted to make a final run at the title, and losing to Uriah Hall is the end of that road, not the beginning. Similarly George Roop and Katusnori Kikuno seem like they hit a hard stopping point, where Roy Nelson just took one more step back down the road he was already on.
