UFC 143 Weigh-In Results And Photos

Photo

Everyone made weight at the official weigh-ins for UFC 143. Alex Caceres had to get naked after initially weighing one pound too much at 137 pounds, but he took off his 1-pound underwear and passed with flying colors at 136 pounds. The main event staredown between Carlos Condit and Nick Diaz was pretty uneventful although the Josh Koscheck and Mike Pierce staredown was quite contentious and enjoyable. I apologize for not getting a better pic of that one but they wouldn't stand still! Everyone enjoy your post-weigh-in dinners!

Main Card (PPV):

Carlos Condit (169) vs. Nick Diaz (169)

Look Out For Falling Genius: The Gals' UFC 143 Predictions

UFC 143: Diaz vs. Condit

Welcome to another installment of genius! Here we make out UFC 143 predictions known to the world, and I'm sure you'll be impressed. Or, not. Whatever. In any case, there are some interesting and seemingly exciting fights on this card, and many that are pretty tough to call. I know I've been back and forth on several of them many times. Remember to tune in to watch the fights, starting on Facebook (probably around 7:00 EST/4:00 PDT), continuing on FX (8:00 PM EST/5:00 PDT), and then culminating in big ol' show on PPV (10:00 PM EST/7:00 PDT). Here is what we think will happen in all the fights!

Main Card (PPV):

Nick Diaz vs. Carlos Condit

Beth: Woo Hoo! The fight of the century. I may be more jazzed about this fight than I was about Diaz vs. GSP. Well, no that's a lie. But I'm still pretty jazzed. Diaz by something awesome.

Donna: Oh man, I can't wait for this fight! This one has fight of the year written all over it. It's going to be a barn burner for sure, and Condit is going to take it by decision..

Knitty: I think this fight is going to be so much fun! Nick has started to win me over in his last couple of fights, just picking his opponents apart. But I think Condit by decision will be the final outcome.

Kat: I have been back and forth on this one. I have no idea who to pick. I initially thought Nick Diaz by TKO. But, then I thought Carlos Condit may very well be able to win a decision here. Sweet fancy Moses, this could be a good fight! I am flipping a coin. Diaz by KO/TKO.

Keren: This is a really tough choice for me, but I think I'm going with the 209 on this. Diaz by TKO.

Rachel: If Diaz can go to war with Paul Daley and not only survive but win, Condit is going to have some issues. If the fight goes to the ground Diaz has the Jitz to get a submission or at least control where the fight goes down. Diaz by TKO.

Midge: Both of these guys would ruin Georges St. Pierre's world. Don't drink the kool-aid kids. It's riddled with ring rust, injuries, and inability to FIGHT fight. These two are game, and someone is going to win in spectacular fashion. I really hope the winner beats GSP, then the loser beats GSP immediately after :-) For now, I'll go with Nick's worse nightmare Condit by Split Decision

Nolan: Diaz by submission.

UFC Undisputed 3 Predicts Diaz Vs. Condit Winner

THQ got all fancy on us and ran a simulation of the Nick Diaz and Carlos Condit UFC 143 fight. Is this the first time that they've done this or has my head been up my butt? Anywho, they did 25 simulations and they predict Diaz to be the winner. Check out what time they have him winning. That's no coincidence, my friends.

Does this simulation really mean anything?

UFC On Fox 2 Post Fight Interviews With Ariel Helwani

There has been a number of really sweet changes to the UFC production since the FOX deal emerged. I'm really liking the FUEL TV graphics, pre-fight parade, fight recaps during the event, and especially the post-fight interviews. FUEL TV has been smart enough to bring in Ariel Helwani, the best interviewer in the game, to conduct their pre/post fight interviews and the results couldn't be any better.

Not only are getting the standard great interviews we expected from Helwani, we are getting them immediately! YouTube is already a flutter with the sounds of Dana White promoting and Chael Sonnen being Chael Sonnen. So join us this Sunday morning to bask in the glory that is the UFC on Fox 2 Post Fight Interviews with Ariel Helwani!

UFC On Fox 2 Weigh-In Results and Photos

There was a rumor going around that Michael Bisping was having trouble cutting weight for his UFC on Fox 2 weigh-in but apparently that rumor was false because he came in exactly on weight and everyone else made weight, too. The Sonnen vs. Bisping staredown was intense with some chatter happening. Bisping was booed and the crowd cheered quite heartily for Sonnen. Thanks to the UFC, Fuel and Fox for showing us all the actual weighing in today. All you need to do now is not give us a play-by-play of the weigh-ins. I know - complain, complain. Anyway, enjoy the pics!

Main card:

Phil Davis (205) vs. Rashad Evans (205)

Look Out For Falling Genius: The Gals' UFC on Fox 2 Predictions

UFC on Fox 2: Evans vs. Davis (via ufc.com)

Welcome to another weekend and another UFC event! It's the third weekend in a row that we've had UFC fights to watch and the second in row where the fights are free - how great is that? This weekend features UFC on Fox 2, which has a three-fight main card that can be viewed on Fox at 8:00 PM EST/5:00 PM PDT, and a seven-fight card of prelims that you can catch on Fuel TV at 5:00 PM EST/2:00 PM PDT. The main event is a light heavyweight clash between Rashad Evans and Phil Davis. This fight has almost been overshadowed by the anticipation of the other main card fights between Chael Sonnen and Michael Bisping, and Demian Maia and Chris Weidman. All in all, this looks to be a pretty fun card. Since I'm sure you want to know exactly what will happen in the fights, let us tell you. Check out our UFC on Fox 2 predictions below.

Main Card (Fox):

Phil Davis vs. Rashad Evans

Beth: Rashad's got to have the eye of the tiger. He needs to work his way up to Jones and Davis is just the man to step on. Rashad via TKO.

Donna: If Rashad Evans can fight as well as he can talk trash, he shouldn't have any problems here. Evans via Decision.

Kat: This could go either way, I guess, but I don't really see Phil Davis being much better than Rashad Evans in anything significant other flexing his entire upper body at weigh-ins. While there is a lot to be said for having an amazing flex pose at weigh-ins, that alone doe snot win fights. Evans by Decision.

Rach: Rashad can replicate Davis, but Davis doesn't have the striking that Rashad has developed. Rashad probably has a good enough clinch to keep the fight standing or just keep the top position. Evans by Decision.

Keren: Davis is a great fighter, but I don't think he's ready for someone like Evans. I can't picture Evans being submitted and I don't think Davis can KO/TKO Evans, but I do think Evans can do that to Davis. Evans by TKO.

Knitty: Rashad has got to be tired of everyone forgetting about him in the title picture (I know I have a few times.) But I don't think Phil Davis has enough to keep up with Rashad. Evans by decision.

Midge: I like Phil and all, but his game is pretty one dimensional. And by "pretty", I mean "ridiculously". I really don't think he has much of a chance against guys that can neutralize his wrasslin'. Guys like Jon Jones, Dan Henderson, and Rashad Evans are going to be too much for him. Luckily, Davis is young and has plenty of time to work on his stand up game after this crushing defeat. Evans by crushing KTFO

Mountaineer: Phil Davis is a great fighter. Rashad Evans is an excellent fighter. Phil is up and coming and Rashad is slept on and slips under the radar for most. Could be the dislike for him by most fans or it could be that he fights once or twice a year. That said, too much for Phil Davis this early. Lil' Nog to Rashad is a monumental leap in competition. Although Davis could grind a decision, I'll go with Rashad by 2nd or 3rd round TKO.

The rest of our predictions are after the jump!
