Video: Countdown To UFC 143

It's almost time to throw down for UFC 143 - are you excited yet??? In case you're getting bored with changing (and changing, and changing again) your MMA Playground picks and just want to find something else to do, check out the Countdown to UFC 143 video below. It's always entertaining when Nick Diaz is involved and giving interviews so if you haven't seen it, it's probably worth a look. In addition to coverage of the Nick Diaz vs. Carlos Condit fight, there is also coverage of Fabricio Werdum vs. Roy Nelson and Josh Koscheck vs. Mike Pierce.
