In the UFC, a single month can change everything. On December 1st, this UFC 143 card looked nothing like it does now. UFC welterweight champion Georges St. Pierre was forced off the card with a major knee injury, which caused a major shuffle. Now, 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. The undercard will be shown in it's entirely on FX. 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)
Mike Pierce (13-4) vs. Josh Koscheck (16-5)
Renan Barao (27-1, 1 NC) vs. Scott Jorgensen (13-4)
Ed Herman (19-7) vs. Clifford Starks (8-0)

I don’t know if he’ll destroy Jorgensen, but I do see Barao getting the W. Jorgensen is no slouch though, and I expect a good fight from the two. Moving forward, I think that at this point, Barao has a skillset that Cruz hasn’t faced before and could potentially be the one to dethrone him.

Werdum, despite his flopping in previous fights, actually has decent standup, and he showed it the most against Bigfoot Silva. I think that Nelson has more power though. With grappling, Werdum should have the edge here despite Nelson having the belly.

Pickett is just about as good as Scotty (I think he’s improved more than Scotty since they fought) in my opinion, and Barao faired very favourably against Pickett, obviously.

Grappling hard to maintain bottom position? The image of Diaz and Condit letting each other sweep one another just to be on their back is a hilarious visual.
In all seriousness though, if this turns into a grappling match I think it is going to be scrambly as fuck because both guys are so active. They are both so smooth on the ground I would almost be a little disappointed if they didn’t roll for at least a little bit.

Condit's got a dangerous guard
But I don’t think he’s gonna want to roll with Nick for very long.
I honestly believe a Cesar Gracie black belt is another level higher than most. 2 levels higher than some.

I've never been a Herman fan
But he has destroyed people in his last two outings. Same with Caceres. I thought he was going to be right out the door going into the match with Cole, but after that performance you can’t begrudge him his position in the UFC.
Status: Awesoming
I don't know more about MMA than you, I just act like it at HeadKickLegend
I hope Caceres wins this
He didn’t look like he belonged in the UFC until his last fight. I think it was just a “being too young” thing. If he dominates again, he will at least prove that he does belong.
And Herman is easily one of the most likeable guys in the UFC. Soul or not he is a really cool guy.
"Life isn't Fucking fair! Deal with it." Dad.
I can’t see myself ever rooting for Caceres, but he defintely proved he can compete at 135, so I’ll enjoy supporting his opposition.

The first fight of UFC 141 was...
Diego Nunes vs. Manny Gamburyan. The first fight of the prelims of that show has bigger names and is more important in terms of division placement and potential future title matchups than the 5th fight on the main card of this one. It’s not a complaint, but a statement of truth.

That poster!
Is that the meanest mug Diaz has ever thrown?
This is a bad ass main event. Love Conduit, love Diaz, can not wait!

It’s Diazlebub rising out of a molten Stockton street lined with Oldsmobile Cutlass wrecks and demonoid vagrants picking up cigarette butts.
I'm strangely amused by Chris Cope's inquisitive look on his face.

im not really sure why he is still in
he was never a very reassuring as a fighter and had more losses than wins.
As far as i see there is no real rule in the UFC on who is out or who stays. I do tend to think that the whole thing is based on personal aspects with Dana.

If you are amazed that he is still around...
then you haven’t paid any attention to his nickname, have you?

You may like Diaz, but Brock actually won a title that mattered.

In a way
Carlos Condits pic in the poster remindes me of Andrei Arlovski

The diaz’s have been winning me over with their relentless style. But, fuck that! WAR CONDIT!!

I don't know more about MMA than you, I just act like it at HeadKickLegend
This is going to be the first big card of 2012
142 isn’t going to sell well. Diaz vs Condit might be one of the most exciting fights in MMA history. Add in that it’s being built up with the primetime show(what’s the lowest buyrate a primetime show has ever had) on FX, which is a lot better than a primetime show on Spike.
Then, on top of that, all of the prelims are going to be aired on FX. That’s again, better than having just 2 on Spike….the more ‘free stuff’ people get, the more chances of them seeing a great fight, the more chances of them getting into it over the course of the broadcast and being drawn in to buying the PPV.
Plus I think Superbowl weekend is a good weekend to have a PPV…last year did well with 126. 750K buys with Anderson headlining, Griffin-Franklin in co-main, and Jones-Bader 3rd fight down.
None of those guys went on to be part of a big PPV…so I have to assume the weekend chosen had something to do with it.

Interested in the Barao fight the most
In his fight with Cole Escovedo he showed some holes in his striking. Good thing Scotty isn’t too devasting in the standup. I hope Barao takes this opportunity and makes it a point that he wants the belt.
Prediction? Faber gets injured during the filming of TUF and Barao takes his spot beats Cruz.
WAR YOU THUMBSUCKIN MOTHAFUCKA!!

Renan Barao vs. Scott Jorgensen
is going to be a great fight to watch. If Barao can cut Jorgensen down like he did Pickett, he’s going to be knocking on the door for a title shot, for sure.

I actually thought that there are many members
who are both here and on MMA Mania. I didnt know about this rivalry stuff. But there is something I dont understand. If i say, a UFC fighter in my opinion is a F..er or unsportsmanlike or IMo not UFC level that means that i can get banned? I m not pretty clear with the rules here, by far thought anyone can write what their opinions are, contrary to the fact that there are some, who don’t agree with my opinion. Please help me in this?

fighting bashing isn't allowed (or at least frowned upon)
Like saying a fighter is shit for no real reason. That and the guy above was trolling which is also a ban hammerable offence

Caceres, Riddle and Cope on the same card. WAAAAAAA…and I just threw up in my mouth a little bit. That being said I am genuinely rooting for Caceres after his last performance. So psyched for this FREE card.
