UFC 143 weigh in photos gallery for 'Diaz vs Condit' on Feb. 3 in Las Vegas
UFC 143: "Diaz vs. Condit" is all set to pop off tomorrow night (Sat., Feb. 4, 2012) from the Mandalay Bay Events Center in Las Vegas, Nevada, featuring a welterweight interim title bout pitting Nick Diaz vs. Carlos Condit.
That's not to mention Roy Nelson vs. Fabricio Werdum in a heavyweight attraction and the suddenly contentious match-up between Josh Koscheck and rising 170-pound contender Mike Pierce.
Before we can get to the good stuff, though, every one of the competitors on tomorrow night's fight card had to hit the scales in "Sin City" to make sure they aren't carrying any extra baggage. Thankfully, none of them are and all 11 bouts are now official.
After the jump, you can check out photos (via UFC.com) from today's UFC 143 weigh-in event. For complete results click here, for staredowns click here and to watch the full UFC 143 weigh-in video click here.

In better shape is what I think fos is trying to say
I don't try to intimidate anybody before a fight. That's nonsense. I intimidate people by hitting them.
puck! where u been mate? you good?

Yeah, I think Dana hurt his feelings when he lost to Junior
and I don’t see Werdum knocking him out. I think he is motivated by the looks of his conditioning. This may be the rebirth of “Big Country”..
he has fleet of foot.
roys footwork and ringwork are not good enough.. werdum will stick and move to a split.

Koscheck is generally unlikeable and i am usually content to root against him...
But I’m hoping Koscheck beats the shit out of Pierce…we could use another HL KO for the opening montages..

I really don't have a problem with Kos
but I haven’t seen Pierce knock anyone out, and also all of his wins seem to be by decision so if the wrestling is negated then I give a good chance that Kos may knock him out.
That and the level of competition edge goes to KOS as well
Guys can hate the person KOS but there is no denying he is a dangerous WW.
I don't try to intimidate anybody before a fight. That's nonsense. I intimidate people by hitting them.
Thank you,
I agree, this is a BIG step up in competition for Pierce. I hope he is not depending on that wig to make him marketable to the UFC and avoid being cut when he starts getting KO’d.
maybe,
the problem is that I don’t see any major improvement in the striking of pierce. He does not have KO power so if the wrestling is negated i see Kos getting a decision or knocking this fool out.
Kos striking is so bad though. Kos wouldn’t go far in the amateur level in MT. His striking is terrible without the thread of the takedown.
definitely, he is not a K-1 level striker at all.
but he has KO/TKO’d some people. Pierce has failed to show me he can do that.
K-1 is the highest level of MT. I’m talking about amateur level. I’m telling you man, those guys would blow Kos out.
Kos is able to knock people out because he’s fighting with no power or no wrestling.
Kos was getting outstruck by Matt Fucking Hughes.
Pierce might not have the one hitter quitter, only once in his career I believe, but he does have power. Just ask Jon Fitch, who was on queer street due to Pierce’s hands.
Of course he is not K-1, but based on the recent
experience of both fighters i would think that Kos is going to knock him out. Plus being on queer street is different than getting knocked the F out.
Dude, are you listening? I said he’s not even amateur level! Of course he’s not K-1 level.
You know, the whole Pro > Amateur thing? Geez man!
So what, Pierce has power, maybe not one hit power, but your not walking through his punches.
I thought she was busy and you had free time? She just got back from her class or whatever you mentioned in the FFT? Awesome thread by the way, kudos mate. No problem, nagging wives fucking suck.
she got back at 3pm and left again
so i picked up some beer and now she came back and i am hearing all sorts of shit.
gonna be a rough night
Thanks, i really take pride in the friday thread. It is one of my only manly things left after getting married , buying a house, having kids, etc. etc. well at least i work from home!!!
Jesus, work from home! You are fucked! Haha. Yea, got a little one myself, living with women and children is really one of those things in life you always thought would be peaches and cream, and it’s one of the more miserable existences in life. Why God , why!
it has its perks
but the worst part is seeing my wife more. The more she sees me, the more she complains. Don’t get me wrong, i love her, but life was more simple when i had a 9 to 5 and worked outside the house.
Everyone needs to get off koschecks dick
Hes going to beat pierces ass

Kos size n wrestling will be a factor
Pierce looks more like a 155lbr

Pierce just fought at 185. He ain’t small. Pierce is about to swell up about 30 pounds of water weight. Kos will relatively stay the same. I bet Kos won’t be bigger than 185 tmrw, and Pierce will be over 190.
I think the fight is definitely going to be competitive. But yea, I’m definitely leaning towards Pierce.
I’m taking Roy , Diaz, Pierce , who you got?
I agree, going to be competitive. I keep getting flashbacks of Kos
getting knocked silly by Thiago so that is definitely on my mind. I am leaning towards Kos simply because of the fact that it has been almost 3 years since Pierce has won via TKO/KO and I don’t see him getting a decision against Kos.
I am also taking Roy. Diaz and Condit is a hard fight to call, but I have always been in Condit’s corner so i am sticking with Condit. i am a fan no matter what.
I have faith in Kos being Kos. The dude is probably the worst guy gameplan wise, as well as transition wise. He is also an idiot, who basically blatantly admitted that he was overlooking Pierce.
Honestly Pierce’s little hair stunt wasn’t too smart, why piss Kos off, when you probably had an advantage of that going in?
I don’t think Pierce even gives a fuck, but from their staredown, Kos looks big and angry.
A lot of times the weighs ins and the way the fighter looks to me, as well as when first getting into the cage sway my opinions , but my original thinking is pretty solid.
It’s just hard when it’s finally time, everything goes out the window.
Kos striking is very , very bad though. He’s basically Demian Maia with more power. Maybe not even that good.
And agreed, Condit vs Diaz is really tough to call. My original thinking is Diaz, the way they’ve looked has me thinking Condit now, but I’ll probably stick with my logic that Diaz is just a little bit tougher.
agreed upon,
the weigh-ins always “weigh in” on my decisions. I also saw an angry Kos, Yeah all pre-conceived notions fly out the window when they are in the ring/cage, but I think the wrestling will be negated and that Kos will win. I think a tko, but if pressed then i would bet a decision.
It's creative the way you guys are figuring pierce wins somehow here

Actually nope

This is a huge opportunity for both fighters Diaz may not be as composed but it's how they handle themselves in the octagon not the stage that matters
I don't try to intimidate anybody before a fight. That's nonsense. I intimidate people by hitting them.
agreed, but i missed the old mean muggin diaz
any deviance,“raises my suspicions”. I have mad respect for Diaz, but this is out of character.
Condit hasn't talked any shit. If he does this against GSP then I might wonder.
I don't mind stealing bread from the mouths of decadence...

Not really
He didn’t talk shit to Cyborg before the fight either or Zaromskis
He respects guys who come to fight and don’t talk shit
by 49erEmpire on Feb 3, 2012 11:08 PM EST via mobile up reply actions
This ^ is truth
That’s the deal, he likes/respects the guys who come to fight and who don’t talk shit AND like anyone else there are some guys who he just doesn’t like.
He also didn’t talk any shit on Daley until the actual day of the weigh in’s when I think Daley was mouthing at stare down time
Damn, you just reminded me
how sick all of his fights in strikeforce were
by xquisitewretch on Feb 4, 2012 7:32 AM EST up reply actions
Diaz and Roy look probably the best ive seen either one ever(well definitely roy)
Will be really interesting tomorrow.
If you dont like drugs then dont do them.....give them to me!

Stupid Signature Goes Here

Akiyama beats Shields on Feb. 26, 2 week
