At UFC 129: St. Pierre vs. Shields the fourth round of Georges St. Pierre vs. Jake Shields was much of the same with the champion landing a takedown, but avoiding any larger ground conflict. Georges St. Pierre apparently, though was having eye problems. That may have been the cause of his tentativeness.
ROUND 5 - Shields opening the round with an air of desperation. "GSP!" chants fill the Rogers Centre. Again, St. Pierre goes to the overhand right and can't get it. Right hand from St. Pierre stumbles Shields, but doesn't rock him. Three minutes left and this has been a very conservative performance from GSP. The crowd getting restless now and on the verge of boos. Long jab from GSP finds the mark. Now the boos are showering the two fighters. Inside leg kick for St. Pierre, but without much authority. St. Pierre dodging most of what Shields throws, but not doing much of his own outside of jabbing and the occasional cross. The champion goes back to the overhand right and can't get it. Shields stuffs a takedown from St. Pierre.
