The fans have been waiting a very long time for tonight’s UFC 158 main event. The hype and trash talking is over, UFC welterweight champion Georges St-Pierre will defend his title against the former Strikeforce welterweight champion Nick Diaz.
The fight fans have waiting to see for a year and a half finally happens this weekend at UFC 158. UFC welterweight champion Georges St-Pierre will make his eighth consecutive title defense in the night’s main event against former Strikeforce welterweight champion Nick Diaz.
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. The title fight isn’t the only piece of action at 170lbs, as it seems the entire division has turned out for this event. Hendricks, Condit, Ellenberger and Marquardt all have a claim to stake and you can bet we’ll be seeing some fireworks in the cage.
Amidst everything else going on, the UFC has themselves a busy day today with the UFC on FX 6 taking place in Australia and The Ultimate Fighter 16 finale weigh-ins. All 24 fighters made weight today for tomorrow’s event that will crown The Ultimate Fighter 16 welterweight winner.
Not only is The Ultimate Fighter 16 Finale taking place this weekend but the second international version of the reality shot, TUF: Smashes will also be holding their finale in Australia. With the time difference the Australian card airs on Friday, while the domestic TUF 16 finale will air live on Saturday from the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas, Nevada.
Free fights, leading into more free fights are exactly what the UFC gave its fans today with the Ultimate Fighter 13 finale. Six fights aired on Facebook leading up to the five fight main card that will crown another Ultimate Fighter winner.
The UFC Brass announced yesterday that today’s preliminary card for the Ultimate Fighter Season 13 finale will air live on Facebook once again. The prelim card is stacked from top to bottom with potential fight of the night candidates which include many WEC greats
Ah yes, the TUF Finale. An event we love to watch, but every bettor avoids like that crazy guy panhandling outside the liquor store. While in season’s past, there was the occasional value bet to be had, this year proved to be the worst season of the show yet, with little true talent being added to the Welterweight division.
