Georges St-Pierre is healthy and back to defending his UFC welterweight title with regularity.
After reclaiming his spot as undisputed 170-pound champion by beating interim titleholder Carlos Condit, St-Pierre asked for a fight with archenemy Nick Diaz. St-Pierre had been booked to fight Diaz before and, although the former Strikeforce champion was coming off a loss to Condit, the Canadian wanted to settle his score with the outspoken Californian once and for all.
In addition to losing his most recent fight, Diaz has not fought in more than a year due to a suspension served for testing positive for marijuana metabolites. For those reasons, many felt Johny Hendricks was a more deserving contender, but the UFC decided to fulfill St-Pierre’s rare opponent request.
As this long-anticipated grudge match between St-Pierre and Diaz approaches, let’s take a look at which fighter is more likely to walk away from UFC 158 with the belt around their waist.
