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]
Roy Nelson (16-6) vs. Fabricio Werdum (14-5-1)
Josh Koscheck (16-5) vs Mike Pierce (13-4)
Renan Barao (27-1, 1 NC) vs. Scott Jorgensen (13-4)
Ed Herman (19-7) vs. Clifford Starks (8-0)
Preliminary Card:
Dustin Poirier (11-1) vs. Max Holloway (4-0)
Alex Caceres (6-4) vs. Edwin Figueroa (8-1)
Matt Riddle (5-3) vs. Henry Martinez (8-1)
Matt Brown (12-11) vs. Chris Cope (5-2)
Dan Stittgen (7-1) vs. Stephen Thompson (5-0)
Rafael Natal (13-3-1) vs. Michael Kuiper (11-0)

Good card, although why the UFC would have Werdum as co-main of anything after his last shitshow is beyond me.
Also, Gladiator intro gone as of this PPV.

Finally gone now? I was under the impression it should’ve been gone at 142, then when it happened at 142 it felt like a kick in the nuts.

I'm on the Barao bandwagon
Tired of Cruz. I don’t think he’s exciting but I don’t think he’s incredibly boring. He’s just annoying.
Read my tweets or whatever - @SSReporters
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.

Faber clearly has improved his boxing
He looked terrific fighting Bowles.

Am I the only one who would rather have Poirier still on the main card? Even if it should be a squash match, I think Poirier deserves to be on the PPV.

Poirier needs exposure. Hopefully he gets a quick finish although I’m curious to see if Holloway has got anything for him, he looked quite exciting but wild in the scouting report footage.

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.

Starks’ debut in the UFC against Jacoby was not anything to write home about. Starks showed solid wrestling, but that’s about it.

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 might hit even harder than Daley? Are you shitting me? Daley hits like a mack truck.
That Hardy KO was his first proper KO in YEARS.

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.

Stungun I would say is a straight KO
Sure he followed up, but he was done after that flying knee
Should've been clear
Was talking about punching power because Stun Gun was a clear KO.

But I wish Kos were fighting Hendricks. Pierce isn’t the most exciting guy out of the wrestleboxers.

Am I wrong
thinking Kos is gonna merc this guy? His style seems identical and Kos has been doing it longer.
I thought Lay N Pray was a stupid insult until I watched Tyrone Woodly fight.
Yes, very
Pierce is much sharper and will stuff Kos’ shots at will. Sort of like GSP/Kos.

Don't you dar fucking jinx this fight!
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.

that Starks is a D-1 wrestler, and has won all of his 8 fights in only 2 years in the sport… right? I fail to see how that’s a fail. He’s actually a decent prospect.

He is a solid prospect
Plus you need to look at it in terms of the matchup.
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.
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.

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.
