The hurdles have apparently been cleared.
Despite his recent insistence that a bout between current UFC champion Georges St-Pierre and Strikeforce title holder Nick Diaz was anything but a done deal, UFC president Dana White today announced the two welterweights will clash in the main event of the previously unannounced UFC 137 event.
According to White, the UFC welterweight title contest will take place Oct. 29 at the Mandalay Bay Events Center in Las Vegas.
