The UFC goes to Mandalay Bay for their Oct. 29 show, and it features two welterweight match ups that will have the MMA world watching very closely.
“The Champion vs. The Killer” will be the headline event, and it features UFC welterweight champion Georges St. Pierre going up against “The Natural Born Killer” Carlos Condit. St. Pierre’s nine-fight win streak has placed him among the best pound-for-pound fighters, and he has looked flawless in getting there.
Condit brings a four-fight win streak into the Octagon with a 27-5 record with 26 of those victories coming by knockout or submission.
In the co-main event, former UFC welterweight and lightweight champion B.J. Penn takes on former Strikeforce welterweight champion Nick Diaz. Diaz was given the fight after being pulled out of the main event due to missing two pre-fight press conferences. Some fans are more interested in this fight than the main event.
Other main card bouts include Matt Mitrione vs. Cheick Kongo, Hatsu Hioki vs. George Roop and Mirko Cro Cop vs. Roy Nelson.
These are the odds and my predictions for the event.
