This Saturday, Nick Diaz and Carlos Condit will fight to determine who the best welterweight would be in a world without 170 lb. champion Georges St-Pierre. Both welterweight contenders were slated to fight St-Pierre in recent months before the champ was sidelined by a knee injury.
The winner of UFC 143‘s main event will be awarded an interim title and—barring any setbacks in St-Pierre’s recovery—the right to face off against the greatest welterweight in MMA history.
To promote the upcoming event, the UFC will hold a pre-fight press conference on Thursday at 4 p.m. ET. UFC 143 headliners Diaz, Condit, Roy Nelson, Fabricio Werdum, Josh Koscheck, Mike Pierce and UFC president Dana White will all be on hand for the presser, which will be held at the Mandalay Bay Events Center in Las Vegas.
Video of the press conference will be streamed live on the above video player. After the presser, stay tuned to Bleacher Report MMA for all the latest on UFC 143 and the rest of your MMA needs.
