Forget about tomorrows little NFL game (for now) because tonight is UFC 143 and for some, the main event between Nick Diaz and Carlos Condit is their Superbowl. Their bout is for the interim welterweight title and offers fans one of the more exciting fights thus far this year.

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.
MMA Fighter Rankings for February 2012
It’s rare when the rankings don’t see any changes but the outcomes from fights held in the month of January didn’t changes things in any division.

Not to worry though because February will see nine top five fighters step into the cage, including three fights where both competitors are ranked.
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. While Canada’s sweetheart rehabs his knee, two of the grittiest fighters in the sports history will tear themselves apart for a piece of the title as Nick Diaz faces Carlos Condit at UFC 143. 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.
The Welterweight Division Appears to have been Cursed
You have to start to wonder whether the UFC welterweight division or its champion Georges St-Pierre has a curse laid upon them.
