UFC 158 features several exciting matchups, and there is sure to be plenty of top-class UFC action on Saturday night. 

Georges St. Pierre and Nick Diaz are headlining the event, and the two fighters have grown continually less fond of one another as the fight has drawn closer. Their feud is building up to what should be an incredible bout.

Rick Story vs. Quinn Mulhern

T.J. Dillashaw vs. Issei Tamura

George Roop vs. Reuben Duran

Best Fight: T.J. Dillashaw vs. Issei Tamura

Dillashaw is a fighter on the rise, and if he can make a statement in this fight, he has a bright future ahead of him. 

All of the fighters on this card are far away from a marquee fight, but Dillashaw is closer than the other names above, leaving the 27-year-old Californian with the most to prove. 

Tamura has a win and a loss in his two previous UFC fights, and he will be the underdog. This fight will reveal whether Dillashaw is for real.

Elkins is another fighter looking to take the next step in his promising career.
