A pair of exciting bantamweights are set to square off at UFC 143. The rumored bout between Renan Barao and Scott Jorgenson is in the works, according to MMAmania.com.
Barao comes into the bout riding a 28-fight unbeaten streak and is coming off an impressive UFC debut against Brad Pickett in England. In that fight, Barao came out with fists of fury and knocked Pickett to the mat. He then latched onto Pickett’s back like Spiderman and sunk in a rear naked choke for the win.
Meanwhile, Jorgenson is riding a win streak of his own, having won two bouts in a row after losing a decision to current champ Dominick Cruz.
Both men are electrifying once the cage door closes and are sure to put on an entertaining bout.
Jorgenson is one of the grittiest contenders in the bantamweight division and has KO power to go with some impressive grappling skills.
Barao’s ground skills are nothing to slouch at either. He’s a Brazilian jiu-jitsu black belt from the Nova Uniao camp and trains with Jose Aldo among other top competitors.
In the bout with Pickett, Barao came out aggressively and didn’t seem to be affected by the limelight of the UFC. Many fans were calling for Barao to skyrocket up the rankings and into title contention following his impressive showing.
It looks as if fans will get their wish when Barao meets Jorgenson at UFC 143. Both men have the credentials to warrant a title shot and, with so few challengers available, the bout could be a title eliminator.
Pierce is coming off an entertaining three round shellacking of Paul Bradley at UFC on FOX 1, and is perhaps best known for actually managing to mount some offense against Koscheck’s AKA teammate Jon Fitch in their battle back at UFC 107, a feat that has been deemed nearly impossible at this point in Fitch’s career. Pierce is 5-2 in his octagon run thus far, including the aforementioned loss to Fitch and a split decision loss to Johny Hendricks at UFC 133, as well as wins over Brock Larson, Amilcar Alves, and Kenny Robertson.
(Mike who? Well, if there’s an ass that needs motorboating, I’ll be there.)

Koscheck, on the other hand, will be looking to get back in title contention starting with Pierce, though you gotta imagine he’ll need at least a couple more wins considering how thoroughly he was dominated by GSP in their bout at UFC 124. Fraggle was able to rebound from that orbital breaking loss, however, at UFC 135, where he knocked out and possibly retired former UFC welterweight champion Matt Hughes in the first round.
Filed under: UFC, NewsJosh Koscheck’s new opponent at UFC 143 will be Mike Pierce.
“With Carlos Condit moving to face Nick Diaz for the interim welterweight championship, it will be powerhouse wrestler vs. powerhouse wrestler as Mike Pierce takes on …
In September, Koscheck (16-5) recorded a knockout over UFC Hall of Famer Matt Hughes at UFC 135. That was Koscheck’s first fight back after suffering an orbital bone injury in a loss to Georges St-Pierre at UFC 124 in December 2010.
Pierce (13-4) went 2-1 this year with wins over Kenny Robertson and Paul Bradley and a loss to Johny Hendricks. Upon learning of the opening at UFC 143, Pierce went to the media and Twitter to ask for the Koscheck fight.
UFC 143 takes place SuperBowl weekend on Feb. 4, 2012 at the Mandalay Bay Events Center in Las Vegas.
For the second time leading up to successive championship bouts, Georges St. Pierre has been forced to pull out, this time due to a completely torn ACL in his right knee as well as MCL damage. Through no fault of his own, the UFC welterweight champion …
For the second time leading up to successive championship bouts, Georges St. Pierre has been forced to pull out, this time due to a completely torn ACL in his right knee as well as MCL damage.
Through no fault of his own, the UFC welterweight champion has now broken down twice (due to knee injuries) in as many months.
First he was scheduled to throw down with Nick Diaz in October at UFC 137, but that went up in smoke as the latter was bounced from the event following his no-show at several press junkets.
Carlos Condit was then fast-tracked to the rank of No. 1 contender, and that’s when St. Pierre’s troubles began.
Nonetheless, the proposed bout with the aforementioned was called off after St. Pierre suffered an injury to the same knee that has caused this latest setback.
Needless to say, Diaz was later reinstated as No. 1 contender after he defeated B.J Penn in the main event of UFC 137. And with a little trash-talking from the Stockton native to help things along, St. Pierre vs. Diaz was forthwith slated for Super Bowl weekend.
His recent injury, however, has put a halt to that, and Diaz will once again take centre stage at UFC 143 alongside Condit, only this time for the interim welterweight belt.
Therein lies the problem: By the time St. Pierre gets back to the Octagon, the total amount of time he’d have spent on the sidelines could be anything up to 18 months or more.
So, whomsoever is interim champion at the time will have two choices—either wait for St. Pierre to make a full recovery and then fight for the belt or keep that momentum going, hence risking their interim status.
The 209 son, I’m sure Diaz will vouch for the latter if he wins his bout with Condit (maybe Condit will as well).
The bottom line is this: St. Pierre should be stripped off the title whilst Diaz and Condit should be allowed to duke it out for the honors. And whenever he recuperates from his injuries, he’ll have first refusal to fight for the belt regardless of who is champion at the time or due to any other underlying circumstances.
I’m quite aware that anyone in his position would take absolute umbrage to having what they’ve worked so hard for ripped from their grasp.
Be that as it may, what’s the difference? Not a lot really, apart from the fact that this time he’ll be the challenger and still the main attraction.
Also, St. Pierre will be in a championship bout, only this time he’ll be fighting to regain his crown. If he’s determined to recapture that glory, as I think he will be, then maybe this time he might actually finish a fight.
We might see a new and improved St. Pierre with the “Rush” moniker firmly placed in between his handles.
Of course the downside is, once a champion has attained glory, they’ll make damn sure to hold on to it for as long as possible, which again brings me back to how much would St. Pierre wants his title back?
Enough to go all out and end things in dramatic fashion.
Still, I wholly understand that he’s a pay-per-view magnet for the UFC hierarchy, but it stands to reason that a championship bout will garner more interest than a non-title bout or interim match.
And since the Zuffa-based company is all about dollars and cents, then it makes sense.
I would go so far as to say that interim titles are the worst-kept secret, but they’re irrelevant and a waste of time.
At UFC 143, Diaz and Condit should be vying for the vacant UFC Welterweight title and not the interim title.

Georges St. Pierre vs. Nick Diaz is the greatest fight to never happen.
But there’s still time, right?
Wrong.
All the buildup and hype behind a fight between the champion St. Pierre and challenger Nick Diaz was all for naught. Diaz and St. Pierre will never be in the Octagon together.
As unfortunate as this may be, it becomes painfully clear that this fight can’t happen when the facts are examined.
St. Pierre didn’t suffer a minor injury that’ll keep him out for a few weeks. He suffered a complete tear of his ACL—a serious injury that’ll keep him out of the sport for nearly a year.
The most immediate consequence of this is that he obviously can’t compete against Diaz at UFC 143. Carlos Condit has stepped in to face the Stockton brawler, but that’s not the fight that fans truly want to see.
Fans have missed St. Pierre and Diaz at UFC 137, when Diaz abdicated his media responsibilities, and was therefore ejected from the title fight by UFC president Dana White. And now fans have missed the much-anticipated bout for a second time.
The main question now becomes, will we ever see this fight happen?
Not in 2012, and not ever.
Let’s first examine St. Pierre’s recovery time. Assuming he’ll be back in 10 months as estimated, that makes him set to return around October 2012.
Condit vs. Diaz is taking place in February 2012.
So the winner of Condit-Diaz will either have to wait eight months to fight St. Pierre, or fight one of the many other deserving welterweight contenders in the meantime.
If the latter option is taken, there’s no guarantee that Diaz will ever meet St. Pierre, since Diaz’s wrestling has always been his Achilles’ heel, and strong welterweight wrestlers like Jake Ellenberger, Jon Fitch, and Josh Koscheck will tear Diaz apart before St. Pierre can get to him.
This is all assuming that Diaz even makes it past Condit, which isn’t a certainty either.
While Diaz’s chances against Condit are better than they were against St. Pierre, they still aren’t that great.
Condit’s striking is more dynamic and powerful than any fighter Diaz has faced so far, and Diaz’s patented “Stockton Slap” may not faze Condit.
Also, Condit’s heavy hands may present problems for Diaz, whose striking defense isn’t quite up to par (if you remember, he was rocked badly several times by Paul Daley).
St. Pierre-Diaz is a fight that the MMA world wants to see for one reason or another. Unfortunately, a lot of things can go badly over the 10 months St. Pierre will be out.
Tthe greatest welterweight fight of all time may be one that never exists.
