Georges St. Pierre vs. Jake Shields to Headline UFC's Toronto Debut

Filed under: ,

As expected, Canada's favorite MMA son will headline the UFC's debut in Ontario, as welterweight champion Georges St. Pierre defends his belt against No. 1 contender Jake Shields at UFC 129.

UFC president Dana White confirmed the news to several different news outlets, including the Canadian Press.

The 29-year-old St. Pierre, who has captured the Canadian Athlete of the Year award three straight times, is considered by most observers to be one of the best pound-for-pound fighters in the world. A winner of eight consecutive fights, St. Pierre is coming off a one-sided win over Josh Koscheck just weeks ago at UFC 124.
