Diaz has been must see TV but his path of destruction has left a laundry list of questions.

Few figures are as polarizing as Nick Diaz, and while he isn't the one to hold the Welterweight strap, he seems to be the focal point of all the talk concerning UFC 158.

Hendricks, Condit, Ellenberger and Marquardt all have a claim to stake and you can bet we'll be seeing some fireworks in the cage.

Kevin and George from Uncut Sports "weigh in" on the main event for the upcoming UFC 158 event. This might be one of the most anticipated fights in UFC history, and it's finally going to happen, well hopefully.
