Georges St. Pierre Victorious Over Thiago Alves By Unanimous Decision

Sunday July 12, 2009
Thiago Alves hit home with some very solid low kicks on UFC Welterweight Champion Georges St. Pierre during their UFC 100 encounter and connected with notable punches in spots. Further, he demonstrated toughness and heart throughout their fight, and showed an ability to get up when taken down. But in the end, that wasn't enough.

St. Pierre managed numerous takedowns on the night. He took Alves' back to no avail on multiple occasions. And in the third round, a St. Pierre left-right combination floored his adversary. In the end, despite the fact that Alves fought with honor, the Canadian fighter pretty much won every round on his way to a unanimous decision UFC 100 victory.

By the way, St. Pierre managed the victory with a reportedly pulled groin that he started feeling in round three. It's time for Anderson Silva now, don't you think?
