UFC 137: St-Pierre vs. Condit

First it was St-Pierre vs Nick Diaz, eventually it is now St-Pierre vs. Condit as the main event of UFC 137. UFC 137: St-Pierre vs. Condit will be held by the Ultimate Fighting Championship on October 29, 2011 at Mandalay Bay Events Center in Las Vegas, Nevada.

This event was originally expected to take place on October 15, 2011 at the Echo Arena in Liverpool, England. However, due to multiple scheduling issues with broadcast rights, the organization scrapped those plans.

Nick Diaz, who was originally scheduled to headline the card opposite Georges St-Pierre for the UFC Welterweight Championship, was pulled from the fight on September 7th due to multiple failed media appearances. Carlos Condit was promoted from his fight with B.J. Penn to replace Diaz and face St-Pierre.

Georges St-Pierre will look to defend his UFC Welterweight Championship for the 7th time also looks to extend his winning streak to 10. Carlos "The Killer" Condit on the other hand would want to get his hands on the UFC Welterweight belt. He has only lost once in the UFC against top welterweight Martin Kampmann.

On the co-main event, Nick Diaz will be fueled to take on former UFC Champion BJ Penn. Diaz lost his chance on challenging for the UFC Welterweight belt that St-Pierre now holds due to failure in attending media appearances but he may have a second chance if gets past BJ Penn.
