Now that UFC welterweight champion Georges St-Pierre has opted to face Nick Diaz on Super Bowl weekend, Carlos Condit is without a fight.
Despite an earlier declaration from UFC President Dana White that Condit’s No. 1 contender status would not change regardless of the outcome of the UFC 137 bout between Diaz and BJ Penn, Condit will have to “step aside.”
White proclaimed that Condit had stepped aside at the UFC 137 post-fight press conference; however, Condit refuted that statement.
The New Mexico-based fighter is expected to also compete at the Super Bowl weekend event, although his opponent is still up in the air. Here are a few potential bouts for the welterweight.
