HeavyMMA’s mixed martial arts rankings are back this week with a look at the welterweight division, which has its top two fighters, Georges St-Pierre and Carlos Condit, waiting for a title unification bout.

HeavyMMA’s Duane Finley takes a look inside the UFC’s ever-changing welterweight division – where Georges St-Pierre was once as close to a lock as anyone in MMA.

UFC 143, which featured a welterweight interim title bout between Carlos Condit and Nick Diaz, drew 9,005 fans for a live gate of just under $2.4 million.

Nick Diaz tested positive for marijuana metabolites following his UFC 143 five-round loss to Carlos Condit on Saturday – the fighter’s second positive test in Nevada.

That didn’t take long. The fallout from Saturday’s UFC 143 main event between Carlos Condit and Nick Diaz now will apparently include a rematch.

Nick Diaz took home a paycheck for $200,000 for his five-round loss to Carlos Condit in the main event of UFC 143 on Saturday. Condit made $110,000 for the win.

Despite Nick Diaz’s knee-jerk retirement announcement after his loss to Carlos Condit at UFC 143 on Saturday, Dana White thinks Diaz will be back.

Saturday’s UFC 143 pay-per-view, the promotion’s annual Super Bowl weekend card, drew 10,040 to the Mandalay Bay Events Center for a reported gate of $2.3 million.
