UFC 137 results:
Main Event Nick Diaz defeats B.J. Penn by unanimous decision (29-28, 29-27, 29-28)
| In his return to the UFC after five years of competing in other MMA promotions, The former Strikeforce Champion Nick Diaz bloodied and battered UFC legend BJ Penn, sending the Hawaiian home with a swollen-shut left eye and contemplating retirement. In the process, Diaz made a case for why he should be considered the No. 1 Welterweight contender and why he’ll be fighting for the title in February. UFC president Dana White announced at the post-fight press conference that Carlos Condit had agreed to step aside and wait for his title shot, setting the stage for Diaz and St-Pierre to square off in February on the traditional Super Bowl weekend card. |
