UFC 143 Fight Card: Diaz Vs. Condit

143-art-bw_jpg_medium

There have been a few minor changes to the UFC 143 undercard over the last couple of weeks, but not nearly as many as the month prior to that. The main card looks exactly the same as it did on January 1st, which is a minor miracle at this point. Nick Diaz and Carlos Condit will meet for the interim welterweight belt on February 4th in Las Vegas, and Josh Koscheck will face Mike Pierce. In addition to that, Fabricio Werdum returns to the UFC to face Roy Nelson, and Renan Barao and Scott Jorgensen will face to see who gets the next shot at the UFC bantamweight title after Dominick Cruz vs. Urijah Faber 3. Most of the undercard will be shown on FX, though two bouts will still air on Facebook. Here's the current card (prelims after the jump):

Feb 4th, live on pay-per-view from Las Vegas, NV:

Main Card:

Nick Diaz (26-7, 1 NC) vs. Carlos Condit (27-5) [Interim WW Title]

UFC® 143

Love Cruz

But think Faber takes him this time. It’d be good for the division. New champion new challengers, and if its close Cruz can be seen as a top contender still. I think Barao can beat Jorgenson but wouldn’t be surprised to see Jorg take it. Barao has an interesting style for Cruz and Faber. Jorgenson…..eh not much. His look is marketable?

Cruz's wrestling is too good for Faber

Maybe Faber can get Cruz’s timing better but I think Cruz is just a better all-around fighter than Faber.

I get that Herman is a veteran, and he’s on a roll lately, but over a possible future contender? I don’t expect title contention from Herman, so I just hope Starks ends up being a prospect worth watching. I never got to see his debut.

Not that anyone cares but I got

Condit by TKO. Nick Diaz gets chin checked alot and I think Condit might hit even harder then Daley
Roy Nelson by decision: I think he can hurt Werdum standing better then Werdum can hurt him and his TDD is to good for Werdum.
Mike Pierce by Decision: Mike Pierce is damn tough, the old guard of the WW division is going down and AKA has had alot of bad luck lately. Call it more a hunch then any good reason as to why Pierce will win
Jorgenson by decision: He has just fought and beat better comp then Baroa for me to bet on Barao
Herman by TKO: Because Herman has been on a tear since he returned to the octagon and his power and submission skills are really good. And because I cannot remember who Starks is. That and Herman looks like Wash from Firefly so I am legally required to pick him to win

Condit has KO power, but most of Condit's KO wins were TKOs through volume of punches

His last KO through punches before the Hardy fight was Renato Verissimo in 2006.

Back when the four man ‘GSP vs Diaz’-‘Condit vs Penn’ tourney was set up, I was hoping for Diaz and Condit to win to set up this fight.

Then when it evolved into ‘GSP vs Condit’ and ‘Diaz vs Penn’ I was rooting for the same thing.

Then when it was ‘GSP vs Diaz’ and ‘Condit vs Koscheck’ I was still pulling for it.

But now we’ve finally got it…this is without a doubt going to be one of the great fights in WW history. I could cut a f’cking promo better than Chael Sonnen for this fight. So you better not jinx it.

Plus, we’re only 6 days away…I’d like to think it’s a little too close for anything major to go wrong.

If he was fighting some other prospect, sure, it’d be a little WTF. But he’s fighting Ed Herman who is coming off of two great first round finishes.

Herman looked great in his previous two outings, Starks is apparently a top notch prospect, and considering the undercard, there’s no real obvious fight that would deserve to be on the main card more than this one.

by Shnak on Jan 30, 2012 9:23 AM EST up reply actions  

That’s the problem, there should be better fights than this one available. Starks first fight in the UFC was boring as shit, so I’m not exactly in a hurry to see him again. Herman is a decent fighter, but his last two wins were against Kyle Noke and Tim Credeur, not exactly elite opposition. I don’t think that automatically makes him a main carder, especially on what is supposed to be one of the biggest PPV’s of the year.

Oh I agree, there should be better fights than this one to pick from and put on the main card, but there aren’t. So of the available choices, it’s the best pick.

But better get used to it… most PPV’s will be top heavy from now on, especially those with big title fights. With the number of cards nowadays, it’s better to only expect 3-4 high-profile fights per card, and be surprised when a card is actually stacked with great and relevant fights.

Oh, poor us, only 3 or 4 well high profile fights.

I’m sure boxing shed tear
cut the shit, the more new fighters per ppv, the more new fighters you’ll see as high profile, thus the more 4-5 high profile fights per event

What the hell does "PPV worthy" even mean?

Aren’t we all going to watch the prelims, anyways?

Plus… the reason that Starks/ Herman was moved up to the main card is that Koch had to pull out of his fight with Poirer.

"God loves violence... Why else would there be so much of it? It's in us. It's what we are. We wage war, we burn sacrifices, and pillage and plunder and tear at the flesh of our brothers. And why? Because God gave us violence to wage in his honor... There's no moral order at all. There's just this: can my violence conquer yours?"

Great build up job by Primetime, fantastic footage of Nick Diaz training and some pretty decent interviews with him too. Carlos Condit i found mind numbingly dull though, and if he does manage to beat Stocktons finest, they’re going to have to work miracles to make the build up to Condit vs St.Pierre remotely entertaining.

There was something terrifying about watching Condit… he’s a normal guy, with a normal family, taking care of his son, just like millions of dads… then, out of nowhere, he gets in a cage and he’s an absolute killer. It’s scary when you think about it. I don’t think there’s a more appropriate nickname in all of MMA than his: Natural Born Killer.

Its funny when you said that, I couldn't help remembering...

That’s exactly how they used to hype Dan Severn back in the day, with his shitty grey T shirt of death. Total dork out of the cage, “the beast” in the cage. No point here, just reminiscing.

I thought Lay N Pray was a stupid insult until I watched Tyrone Woodly fight.
