If you’ve seen some of the previous UFC 137 posters, you might get the idea of how much time and money the Ultimate Fighting Championship put behind promoting the UFC welterweight title bout between Georges St-Pierre and former Strikforce champ, Nick Diaz.
So it’s understandable why UFC President Dana White was so angered by Diaz absence at two pre-fight press conferences.
Now we end up with Carlos ‘The Natural Born Killer’ Condit stepping in to face GSP, while Diaz gets to stay on the card and will face B.J. Penn in the co-main event.
UFC 137: St-Pierre vs. Condit is scheduled to take place on October 29 at the Mandalay Bay Events Center in Las Vegas, Nevada.
