Montreal MMA fighter George St. Pierre retains his title at Toronto's epic UFC 129 on Saturday.

Before a record-breaking crowd, George (Rush) St. Pierre retained his welterweight title at UFC 129 in Toronto on Saturday. Though the Montreal mixed martial arts star successfully defended his title against Jake Shields by unanimous decision, he finished the night in a local hospital, suffering from blurry vision from a shot by Shields in the second round. After the bout, St. Pierre told UFC announcer Joe Rogan, "I'm sorry to the fans. I wanted to make it a knockout or submission." The co-main event was the highlight of the show with Mark "The Machine" Hominick taking a major beating from Jose Aldo. Hominick held on, even suffering a hematoma on his forehead, but was ultimately given the win by unanimous decision.
