Mark Bocek (10-2-0)
vs. Benson Henderson (12-2)


Round 1

Bocek puts a straight right on Henderson and the pair clinch, with Henderson reversing to take dominant position. The former WEC champ has double underhooks as he tries to trip Bocek to the ground. Bocek resists and eats a knee to the gut, but answers with one of his own. The lightweights jockey for position and aren’t active enough for ref Yves Lavigne, who restarts them in the center. Bocek puts another right hand on “Smooth” and they clinch again. Left elbow comes over the top from Henderson, then a right leg kick. Henderson pumps his right jab in Bocek’s face and then comes forward with a Superman punch and a hard leg kick. Another punch-kick combo from Henderson and Bocek shoots for a single leg. Henderson gets a half dozen hard punches off as he hops on one leg, but eventually succumbs to the takedown. Bocek works from Henderson’s butterfly guard with less than a minute to go. He can’t pass before the horn, while Henderson lands some elbows from the bottom.

Round 2

Henderson resists a Bocek single-leg and elbows to the Canadian’s body as they clinch against the fence. Henderon with a takedown now; Bocek gets up and is tripped straight back down. Bocek looks for a leg or arm as Henderson sits atop in half-guard, punching away. Henderson’s leg slips loose as Bocek gets up and clinches. Henderson soon has underhooks, though, and goes back to punishing Bocek against the cage. Knees inside from Henderson until Bocek grabs a front headlock and drags him to his knees. Bocek has a guillotine and he’s switching to an anaconda. Bocek rolls, can’t finish, stands back up and adjusts the choke. It’s a standing guillotine now, but Bocek rolls again to try and finish. Henderson pops loose and goes wild, blasting Bocek with vicious elbows and knees to the body. When the round ends, Bocek is busted wide open with red blood staining his hairline and forehead.

Round 3

Bocek is patched up and toweled down with a great gob of Vaseline on his cut. He brings Henderson down and finds himself in the American’s tight, closed guard. Henderson is keeping active with short punches from underneath and then throws his legs up for an armbar. It doesn’t come, but does allow him to sweep and pummel Bocek from the standing position. Bocek drives forward and jumps on Henderson’s back standing, but soon slips off. Henderson takes underhooks and knees Bocek inside. Bocek’s bleeding again as he elbows the ribs of Henderson, who’s looking for a double-leg. Henderson gets it and sprawls on a counter-shot while driving elbows to the head and punches under the arm. Bocek stands and takes more damage in the form of knees to the midsection and punches up top. With 40 seconds remaining, Bocek charges forward and gets a takedown. Henderson shrimps to his knee, nearly gets caught in a guillotine, but escapes. He slams Bocek with more knees against the cage just before the end of the bout.

Official scores: It's a unanimous decision with all three judges' scorecards reading 30-27 in favor of Ben Henderson.

Vladimir Matyushenko (24-6-0) vs. Jason Brilz (18-3-1)

Round 1

Matyushenko throws first, big bunches of punches as Brilz ducks low. A big right uppercut cracks Brilz on the temple, and a forearm finds its mark as he goes down. Brilz’s lights go out as Matyushenko blasts him with hammerfists and Dan Miragliotta is forced to intervene. Brilz comes to right away and protests, but replays show the stoppage was righteous. The official time is 20 seconds of the first round.


UFC 129 1st Of A Triple Main Event

What Is Randy's Final MMA Fight

Randy Couture (19-10-0) vs. Lyoto Machida (16-2-0)

Round 1

Couture whips his head from side to side, dodging Machida’s first punches. The wrestler shoots for the waist of Machida and then dips back out. Machida sneaking some solid right hands through as the 205-pounders feel one another out. Couture pushes forward and Machida wings counterpunches, clipping “Captain America” with an uppercut in the clinch. Couture punches to the body of Machida, who replies with a sharp one-two to the mush. Couture still inching forward, but Machida is being Machida and staying out of range. Machida leaps into the pocket with a knee and Couture tries to bully him into the cage, but the Brazilian won’t have it. Couture tries a waistlock, can’t get it, and settles for clinching on the fence. They don’t stay there long, as Machida circles out and kicks Couture in the gut. Machida lands another knee to the gut in the closing seconds.

Round 2

Couture fakes a few shots, but is clearly cautious of coming inside on Machida, who continues to counter with big hooks and push kicks. Out of nowhere, in center cage, Machida plants a jumping front kick straight out of “The Karate Kid” on Couture’s chin. Randy goes down, the end coming at 1:05 of the second round. Speaking to Joe Rogan after the fight, Couture confirms that he is now retired.


UFC 129 2nd Of A Triple Main Event

UFC Featherweight Title Match (5, 5min rounds)

(C) Jose Aldo (17-1-0) vs. Mark Hominick (19-8-0)

Round 1

John McCarthy is the referee for the first featherweight title bout in UFC history. Aldo stares at the ground during final instructions, only looking up at Hominick as they retreat to their corners. The Brazilian looks relaxed, the Canadian twitchy as they touch gloves and circle. Aldo fires a one-two, a leg kick, an uppercut, another leg kick. He dodges a big right hand from Hominick and then drives a left hand to the gut. Another leg kick buckles the left knee of Hominick. Left hand from Hominick finds it mark; Aldo replies with another leg kick. Hominick catches a front kick and Aldo falls down, but hops right back up. Aldo is going after the left leg of Hominick, who’s now checking the strikes. Aldo plows Hominick down with a double-leg and avoids an armbar attempt. Working from Hominick’s closed guard, Aldo lays a forearm across his challenger’s throat and slams him with short staples. Aldo postures up, can’t find space, and goes back down. Hominick’s doing well to tie up and avoid punishment, prompting McCarthy to tell the pair to get busy. Aldo responds by dropping elbows on Hominick’s face. Some more strikes come from on top and Hominick is bleeding from the nose and cheek, looking lumpy around the forehead. They’re not active enough for McCarthy, who stands them up with 30 seconds left. Hominick pops the champ with a left hook, but eats another leg kick and is taken down again by Aldo. That’s where the first round ends.

Round 2

Hominick comes out the aggressor, looking for uppercuts and left hooks. He drives a particularly hard left to Aldo’s body. Right uppercut from Aldo and he ducks a left hook. Hominick stuffs a shot and punches to the body again. Aldo has slowed significantly and is not dodging Hominick’s punches as well as he did in the first frame. Just after he eats a one-two, he uses head movement to avoid about six consecutive Hominick shots. Aldo gets a takedown with three minutes to go and Hominick goes back to tying up. The Canadian uses his feet to push off the fence and further neutralize Aldo. The champ drops a few hard punches from on top. McCarthy warns Hominick for grabbing the fence with his hands and pushing off, an infraction Hominick has repeated a few times now. They’re stood up with a minute to go, but Aldo soon floors Hominick with another double-leg. Hominick is pushing off the cage with his feet again with Aldo in side control. Again, Aldo can’t get space to do damage and the round ends in a stalemate.

Round 3

Hominick looks the much fresher fighter at the start of the third. He circles the champion and flicks out his left jab while Aldo tries to counter and lobs leg kicks. Aldo ducks in behind an uppercut and tries a takedown, but Hominick slips it. Aldo’s head movement still looks good, as he dodges punches while standing almost stock still. Another chopping leg kick from the champ, then a straight one-two down the pipe. Hominick snaps Aldo’s head back with a jab. Both men dig to the body at the same time. Aldo gets a single-leg takedown, but Hominick’s right back up, jabbing away. The Brazilian’s face is reddened, even as he continues to move out of the way of a number of Hominick’s punches. Aldo throws a right that clips Hominick behind the ear and a follow-up hook sends the challenger to his back. Aldo pounces and lands a few flush shots, but can’t finish and settles down into Hominick’s guard with a minute to go. Aldo drops a few elbows; Hominick boxes his man’s ears with open palms.

Round 4

Hominick’s left eye looks to have sustained serious damage as the championship rounds begin. Aldo gets back to his leg kicks and then cracks Hominick with a left that stumbles the challenger. Aldo thinks an inside thigh kick catches Hominick low and offers to stop, but Hominick wants to keep going. Twenty seconds later, Aldo steps in with a knee and does clip Hominick’s cup. Hominick is ready to get going seconds after and they go back to swinging. A few more kicks from Aldo and Hominick’s left leg is looking like rubber. Left hands from Aldo find their marks on the badly moused cheek of “The Machine.” Another direct hit to Hominick’s left leg. Double jab from Hominick is answered by an Aldo right straight and Hominick falls to his back. Aldo goes into the Canadian’s guard and tries to elbow. Hominick ties up but now has a giant, Hasim Rahman-sized knot on his right forehead. McCarthy allows them to fight on for 20 seconds before calling for the cageside physician. The doctor surprisingly clears Hominick to continue and they resume with 40 seconds left. Aldo scores another takedown before the end of the frame.

Round 5

Just as the final round is set to begin, McCarthy calls for the doctor again. The doctor performs some eye checks and clears the challenger for battle once more. The featherweights slap hands to begin the last frame and Aldo goes to his leg kicks. He slips a one-two from Hominick and drills an uppercut to the gut that seems to hurt the Canadian badly. Hominick gets a takedown and tries to punish from top position. Aldo eats a few left hands before trying to tie up with Hominick, who’s now bleeding profusely from the left side of his face. Short right hammerfist bounces off Aldo’s face. The champion is shrimping, but weary and unable to escape the punishment. Still 2:30 to go as Hominick works from the Brazilian’s open guard. Aldo covers his head and Hominick punches to the body. Zero offense coming from the champion on the bottom and plenty coming from Hominick on top in the form of elbows, forearms, punches. Dozens of unanswered strikes come from Hominick with Aldo helpless to prevent it. Aldo hangs on for dear life with 30 seconds to go. Hominick stands and tries to dive past Aldo’s guard. He lands a few left hands on the way in, but can’t pass. It’s right down to the buzzer and it looks as though Aldo will hold on. He does and Hominick helps him up at the final horn. The pair embrace before Hominick drops down for some push-ups; Aldo follows suit and the Toronto crowd laughs.

Official scores: Judge Douglas Crosby scores it 50-43, while Nelson Hamilton has it 48-46 and Sal D’Amato 49-46, all in favor of the winner and still UFC featherweight champion, Jose Aldo.


UFC 129 Main Event Of The Evening

UFC Welterweight Title Match (5, 5min rounds)

(C) Georges St. Pierre (20-2-0) vs. Jake Shields (25-4-1)

Round 1

Referee Herb Dean is in charge of this welterweight title tilt. Shields is flicking the jab out early, throwing body kicks which St. Pierre blocks. The challenger catches a kick from GSP and shoves him into the fence, where he lets the let go in favor of over-unders. St. Pierre spins him around and then disengages. Shields still trying to jab, but he’s not in range. St. Pierre stings him with a right straight, misses a spinning back-kick. Left jabs starting to get through for GSP. Another side-kick finds Shields’ midsection. St. Pierre with a right hand over the top just before the two-minute mark. A stiff left jab from St. Pierre coincides with a Shields kick, sending Shields toppling to the mat. He’s stung, but pops right back up and goes toe-to-toe with GSP again. St. Pierre is mixing right leg kicks with his left jabs in the last minute, already putting marks on his challenger’s face as the first round ends.

Round 2

Blood comes from the mouth of Shields as the second round begins and St. Pierre paws with more jabs. Shields gets off a right straight, but that’s about it in the first 60 seconds. GSP, meanwhile, lands jabs and leg kicks, occasionally throwing an overhand right to back Shields up. One right hand lands behind Shields’ ear and the Cesar Gracie protégé tilts before circling out. St. Pierre stalks, hunting for the big, right-handed haymaker now. Turning back-kick goes straight to the gut of Shields, who is looking off-balance and unstable as St. Pierre picks his punches. St. Pierre dances and feints, chopping Shields down with leg kicks. Shields shoots, but there’s nothing there.

Round 3

St. Pierre is still looking for the big right hand, keeping out of range of Shields, who stands flat-footed and moves in straight lines. Neither man finding much success in the first half of the round, but the champion undoubtedly looks the better and more in-control fighter. He sprawls all over a shot from Shields, lands a leg kick, then a right hand. Shields gets a kick to the body through, but eats a right hand in return. St. Pierre catches the next kick and drives a straight right down the pipe. St. Pierre doubles up on a jab and slams Shields to the ground, finishing in half-guard. The champion is clearly bothered by a small mouse under his left eye as he walks back to his corner at the end of the period.

Round 4

St. Pierre gets another takedown early, but doesn’t want the fight there. He lets Shields back up and goes back to jabbing, kicking, Superman-punching. With 2:40 to go, a left head kick hurts Shields badly. He recovers quickly on the ground and St. Pierre wants to keep it on the feet. St. Pierre’s left jabs and straights are coming in at will. Shields throws his arms up in frustration, taunting the champion in the manner of teammate Nick Diaz. St. Pierre is bleeding on the left side of his face now, cut on the bridge of his nose.

Round 5

St. Pierre looks to keep his rage as the final round begins, jabbing and switch-kicking as Shields inches in to close the gap. The champ catches Shields coming in with a combo and staggers him with a counter right hand. Halfway through, the last round is still up for grabs, but Shields likely needs a finish here. St. Pierre’s left eye looks a mess, now streaming blood, and Shields is trying to target it with straight rights. St. Pierre lands a left jab with 40 seconds left that has Shield pawing at his right eye. Shield’s nose is badly busted up now. At the 10-second mark, GSP tries for one last takedown, but Shields stuffs it. The men embrace at the final horn.

Official scores: It’s a unanimous decision, with judge Douglas Crosby scoring it 50-45, Nelson Hamilton 48-47 and Richard Bertrand 48-47, all in favor of the reigning UFC welterweight champion, Georges St. Pierre.
