There was a ton of coverage this past weekend and the week before around UFC 129: St. Pierre vs. Silva. I was there live in Toronto, Canada and there was so much to do or see that one person couldn't do it alone. Still, I put together what I could. I've included all of the multimedia we collected, our event coverage as well as pre- and post-fight analysis. Hope you enjoyed the fights and our coverage of the event.

Analysis

I asked before the event if the Canadian enthusiasm for the card made it seem bigger than it actually was.

What were the best UFC 129 moments to relive?

Is Jose Aldo still a pound-for-pound great?

I make the case Georges St. Pierre should fight Nick Diaz, not Anderson Silva.
