On Saturday, February 4, 2012, UFC 142 will air live on Pay Per View from the Mandalay Bay Events Center in Las Vegas, Nevada. In the main event, former Strikeforce Welterweight champion Nick Diaz will face off against “The Natural Born Killer” Carlos Condit for the Interim UFC Welterweight Title. With Georges St. Pierre sidelined due to injury, this match will crown a new king of the 170 pound division for the first time in years. Diaz has proven to be one of the most devastating boxers in the division on top of having world-class jiu-jitsu, but Condit is one of the most complete fighters in the world, so this should be a legendary matchup.
