By Raj Giri

With WWE Extreme Rules dominating the site yesterday (full WWE Extreme Rules results are here), here are some other items posted over the weekend that you might have missed:

- UFC President Dana White told the Fight Network that while he "loved" Ronda Rousey's WrestleMania performance, "she's a one and done."

- UFC Superstar Georges St-Pierre told fans at the UFC 186 media day that he would enjoy doing something with WWE.

"It would be something I would really enjoy to do if I had the opportunity," GSP said, via FOX Sports. "I used to be a massive fan of the WWF. I'm a massive fan. My favorite was Shawn Michaels."

- UFC Featherweight Champion Demetrious "Mighty Mouse" Johnson set an unbeatable record at UFC 186 on Saturday night, submitting Kyoji Horiguchi at 4:59 in the fifth round, the latest stoppage in UFC history. Also at the show, veterans Quinton "Rampage" Jackson and Michael Bisping earned victories. Full UFC 186 results are here.

- Goldberg said that he will wrestle again, but not for WWE. In an interview with FOX Sports at the NASCAR Sprint Cup, Goldberg was not happy with past dealings with the company.

"Anything I did with the WWE was not therapeutic, by any stretch of the imagination," Goldberg said. "The reality is that nobody's going to tell you that because they have an umbilical cord hooked to Vince McMahon. I, ladies and gentlemen, do not. So therefore, I can say what I want and not have any repercussions because I don't rely on them for a job."
