Join us at Bloody Elbow for today's UFC 143 pre-fight press conference from Las Vegas, NV.. We're expecting Dana White, Nick Diaz, Carlos Condit, Fabricio Werdum, Roy Nelson, Josh Koscheck, and Mike Pierce to be in attendance for today's presser. I'm guessing it will be interesting.
Video and notes from the conference are after the jump.
Main Card:
Carlos Condit vs. Nick Diaz
Roy Nelson vs. Fabricio Werdum
Josh Koscheck vs. Mike Pierce
Renan Barao vs. Scott Jorgensen
Ed Herman vs. Clifford StarksPreliminary Card:

SBN coverage of UFC 143: Diaz vs. Condit
MMA Mania's Brian Hemminger took notes during the conference, here are some highlights, jump on over to Mania for the complete goodness including more from Dana White, Roy Nelson, Fabricio Werdum, Josh Koscheck and Mike Pierce:
Nick Diaz: I think Carlos is more of a dangerous fighter. You're more in danger of losing a decision to Georges St. Pierre and your more in danger of losing your teeth to Condit here.
Nick Diaz: (Regarding media coverage of GSP in the build to this fight) It makes me sick. This is Carlos' time to be here and to be a part of this main event. Half of this show is built up around me fighting Georges St. Pierre but I'm fighting Carlos Condit.
Dana White: Josh is one of the most booed fighters alive. Every time we call Josh Koscheck to fight or if we don't call him, Josh calls us. He's always ready to fight any time with no notice. No, we weren't thinking we'd get Koscheck to fight at 185 pounds but when a fighter falls out, you'll get a text from Josh about it.
Carlos Condit: I expect a war. honestly, Nick is probably the toughest dude I've ever fought. He's well rounded and has a dynamic skill-set. We both come to fight. No matter who wins between him and myself, the fans are going to win.

That's brilliant
It should have been Cesar letting him loose though.

I love how GSP still gets into UFC Primetime somehow, even when it isn’t his fight.
We are Ruining Your Special Night, motherfuckers!
You're watching it right now too?
That is definitely interesting. Seems like they are trying to build up the Diaz/GSP match before it even happens

Nick Diaz's philosophical epiphanies are over my head...

I didn’t know Matt Brown still was with the UFC. He has to be close to getting cut.

That's a damn good line
You’re more in danger of losing a decision to GSP. You’re more in danger of losing your teeth to Carlos.

What kinda stupid question is that?
“So give your gameplan for this Saturday?”
Hey soooo ummm will this winner fight GSP?
No, they will win the interim belt then BJ Penn is going to fight GSP again.

Well, GSP’s boxing coach, Freddie Roach, said GSP would take a warm up fight before fighting Diaz or Condit. I don’t think that will happen but I understand why the question was asked.
It's that the world is basically a forced labor camp from which the workers, perfectly innocent, are led forth by lottery, a few each day, to be executed.
I don't think that's just the way I see it. I think that's the way it is. Are there alternative views? Yes. Will any of them stand close scrutiny? No.

Theres no warm up fights in the UFC
So as a rule if you’re a champ its a bad idea to get hurt. Haha.

Matt Hughes wants to fight again. That would be a good warm up. It was basically BJ’s as he returned to WW.

So now its Team KOS not AKA?
Where was that attitude when he was saying: “No no I will not fight Jon Fitch”?
i think he recently opened his own place now.
not sure if he’s still reluctant to fight Fitch, mostly since they both came up in the sport together.

He actually has two of his own AKAs here in Fresno
hence, they announce him as fighting out of here

If Werdum kept it standing
he prolly would have got knocked out.
You see, in this world there's two kinds of people, my friend. Those with loaded guns, and those who dig. You dig.
So, then Werdum had the right gameplan?

Frazier has been up there for a bit now,
I think Nick’s love/hate quote should be the replacement.

Diaz is actually very respectful to opponents who don't talk crap
After he beat Sakurai, he spent a good amount of time genuflecting towards Mach. He was also very respectful to Zaromskis.
Just about every fight the past few years he is extremely respectful to his opponent after the fight.

Seriously, Nick Diaz shook Condit's hand....seems like a bad sign
Of course Carlos was very careful not to get in Nick’s face

Wait till the weigh ins.

This^
The weigh-ins will be the starter, but the when they’re getting the refs instructions I expect a mean-mug-athon.
