UFC 143: Diaz vs. Condit Bold Predictions
With five welterweight bouts on the UFC 143: Diaz vs. Condit card, including an interim 170 lbs. title bout and three top five fighters in the division, the card could be nicknamed UFC: Welterweights.

Look past the dark clouds formed by three main card decisions and you’ll find some fighters that impressed, even in defeat.
