Georges St. Pierre overcame a third round scare to dominate, bloody and batter Carlos Condit to retain his UFC welterweight title tonight in the Bell Centre in Montreal. "Rush" looked sensational in his first bout in 18 months, though he didn't trounce "The Natural Born Killer" by any means. St. Pierre was also busted up and bloodied in the five round war, but he was simply too much for Condit to handle and he walked away with his 170 lb. title around his waist. Oh, he also looks ahead to a potential mega fight with UFC middleweight king Anderson Silva early next year. Read more.

Mike Sloan – Having more than twice the pro experience, some thought that maybe UFC veteran Rich Clementi would have too many tricks up his sleeve for young contender Marcin Held. As it turned out, Held had an ace in the hole and submitted the veteran of nearly 70 pro fights in the second round.
Mike Sloan - It seems as if a decade has passed since UFC welterweight champion Georges St. Pierre last stepped into the Octagon.
After reconstructive knee surgery and months of rehabilitation, “Rush” will make his return to the cage when he defends his crown against interim champion Carlos Condit in the UFC 154 main event on Saturday at the Bell Centre in Montreal. Now 31, St. Pierre has not fought since he earned a unanimous decision over Jake Shields at UFC 129 in April 2011. Will the 19-month layoff have adverse effects on the longtime titleholder?
