UFC 143: Diaz vs. Condit Main Card Breakdown
As you all know, this weekend is the biggest football game of the season as the New England Patriots face the New York Giants in Super Bowl XLVI on Sunday. However, on Saturday night, live from the Mandalay Bay Events Center in Las Vegas, NV we have UFC 143: Diaz vs. Condit. When the card was originally scheduled, Georges St. Pierre was supposed to defend his Welterweight Championship against Nick Diaz, but a knee injury forced him to withdraw and Carlos Condit was pulled from his bout with Josh Koscheck and chosen to replace him.

While there is not one single MMA fan out there who doesn’t love a good knockout, there is nothing worse than seeing a fighter injured giving his all for the sport – especially if that injury puts the fighter on the shelve for a lengthy period of time, as was the case with the Portland, Oregon fighter Ed ‘Short Fuse’ Herman.
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. The division has been ruled by Georges St. Pierre since the end of 2006, with only a brief reign by Matt Serra mixed in there. On Saturday for the first time in years a welterweight not named GSP will have a UFC belt strapped around their waist, albeit an interim one at that.

Sorry GSP, but this fight is better than anything you’ve done in five years.

If that wasn’t enough of a reason to grab this PPV, the awesome wager potential on this card should seal the deal for you.
