Here's the official extended video trailer for the UFC 143: "Diaz vs. Condit" event, which is set to take place on Sat., Feb. 4, 2012, at the Mandalay Bay Events Center in Las Vegas, Nevada, featuring Nick Diaz taking on Carlos Condit.

And the marketing tactic used is a rather interesting one:

"For the first time in three years, the UFC welterweight division will have a new champion."

Kind of. Georges St. Pierre is still the champion but because he's laid up until later this year (maybe November), the UFC felt the need to create an interim title for Diaz and Condit to fight over.

So, technically, there will be a new champion in the welterweight division. But it's essentially a 12-pound piece of tin, like Chael Sonnen loves to say, because it wasn't earned by going through St. Pierre.

Nonetheless, we're just over two weeks away from the big show, Maniacs. For all the latest news and notes on UFC 143 click here.
