Key takeaways
Georges St-Pierre beat Jake Shields by unanimous decision after five rounds in the main event of UFC 129 at the Rogers Centre in Toronto. The co-main event also went to the scorecards: Jose Aldo beat Mark Hominick after five rounds.
Across the twelve bouts that produced a result, five ended by knockout, two by submission and five on the judges' scorecards — seven stoppages in twelve fights. Every decision was unanimous: not one result divided the judges.
The quickest finish belonged to Vladimir Matyushenko, who stopped Jason Brilz after 20 seconds, and five of the seven finishes came inside the opening round. The longest was John Makdessi's knockout of Kyle Watson, 11 minutes and 27 seconds in. End to end, the twelve fights filled two hours and 3 minutes of cage time.
The preliminary card out-finished the main card: five of its seven results came early, against two of the five above it. Jake Ellenberger (knockout, round one), Ivan Menjivar (knockout, round one) and Jason MacDonald (submission, round one) all closed before the judges were needed.
