Moments ago, at the Bell Centre in Montreal, Quebec, Canada, UFC welterweight champion Georges St-Pierre made a successful return to the Octagon after nearly a 19-month layoff, defeating interim champion Carlos Condit via unanimous decision at UFC 154. It was a classic performance by GSP, who scored multiple takedowns and controlled the action on the ground with his superior wrestling skills. Condit really only had one moment in the fight when he landed a head kick that dropped the champion. Outside of that, however, it was all GSP.
