With Georges St. Pierre out indefinitely and many questions surrounding his return, the welterweight division is now as up in the air as any.
UFC 143 will go a long way in clearing up the title picture with a pair of important fights at 170.
While Carlos Condit vs. Nick Diaz is sure to get plenty of hype as the main event and the interim title on the line, Josh Koscheck‘s bout with Mike Pierce will also play a role in the current landscape of the division.
Koscheck, a name everyone is familiar with, looks to get his second victory on the comeback trail after being thoroughly battered by Georges St. Pierre.
Pierce, a highly underrated opponent, looks to finally get some of the recognition he deserves and make a case of his own that he is a threat in the welterweight division.
With so much on the line and the interesting clash of styles that exists, Koscheck-Pierce is sure to be an interesting fight.
Here’s how they stack up.
