Nick Diaz has become the talk of the MMA world after UFC 137. Not only for his incredible performance inside the octagon, where in a fight of the year candidate he decimated the legendary BJ Penn in a fashion that no one ever had before; but for his incendiary comments towards UFC welterweight champion Georges St. Pierre in both his immediate post-fight interview and the following post-event press conference.
Earlier today the UFC held their media conference call for UFC on Fox 1. Dana White explained his plans for the promotions hit reality show "The Ultimate Fighter". A few weeks back White revealed...
As usual the UFC held their conference call leading up to an event. Today was no different, with a media conference call for UFC on Fox 1. The call featured UFC President Dana White as well as the headlining fighters, Cain Velasquez and Junior dos Santos.

Nick Diaz still gets to be in the main event but not in the fight he originally wanted to be in.
With UFC Welterweight Champion Georges St.Pierre out due to a knee injury, the Nick Diaz (25-7 MMA, 6-4 UFC) vs BJ Penn (16-7-2 MMA, 12-6-2 UFC) has now been upgraded to the main event of UFC 137.
This was not the news that the UFC was expecting nor looking for.
UFC Welterweight Champion Georges St.Pierre (22-2 MMA, 16-2 UFC) is out of next weekend's UFC 137 main event against Carlos Condit (27-5 MMA, 4-1 UFC).
Just days after the WWE released footage of their newest video game release WWE:12 which features Brock Lesnar, UFC President Dana White comments on this move. Well it's not so much a move, but money for Brock. White makes a point to the media that it doesn't matter if he's in a video game for the company, but Brock will not wrestle in the WWE while he is under contract with the UFC.
