Welterweight title on the line!

Nick Diaz will face Carlos “The Natural Born Killer” Condit on the 4th February in Las Vegas in the main event of UFC 143, the winner earning the interim welterweight title.

This clash promises to be an all-out war with both fighters looking to stand and bang. The polarising Diaz will utilise his excellent boxing skills, throwing punches in bunches at an unrelenting pace. Condit however will look to counter using a more varied range of strikes, look out for the odd flying knee or two!

Condit comes into this fight winning 12 of his last 13 fights whilst Diaz comes off the impressive beat down of UFC legend BJ Penn last October.

Love him or hate him, Diaz comes to fight, and with Condit always ready for a scrap expect an early contender for fight of the year.
