2006, three round fight.
BJ's boxing completely dominated GSP on the feet in rounds 1 and 2. GSP had a takedown in round 2 but BJ got back up, and GSP had a nice slam takedown in round 3. Again, BJ got back up. BJ took GSP down in the 3rd and GSP got right back up.
One area GSP dominated was in the leg kicks. He landed a lot, though BJ didn't seem affected.
GSP's face was completely wrecked from BJ's boxing.
More like it was completely wrecked by Penn's brutal eyepoke

which meant that St-Pierre had to fight with one eye for the rest of the fight. And was then transfered to the hospital for a cut eyeball from Penn's nail, which led to the pathetic "I spent my night partying; he spent his at the hospital!!"
Even Joe Rogan, who's a Penn dickrider "to teh death", made note of the eye-poke from BJ.
It's very telling that Cecil Peoples is the only who gave the fight to BJ
GSP>Penn

Georges St. Pierre (29-28)
And the rematch was such a domination that Penn had to quit on the stool, and then tried to sue St-Pierre and brought him mom to speak on his behalf at the the tribunal
"I thought my son was going to die in there, how could they lock him up in a cage with that monster??"
