Feb 5, 2012 - After 25 minutes of action inside the Octagon, Carlos Condit defeated Nick Diaz in a hard-fought unanimous decision at UFC 143. The victory earns Condit the UFC interim welterweight championship and the right to face No. 1 welterweight Georges St. Pierre, who is recuperating from a knee injury and expected to return late this year.
The judges scored the fight 49-46, 49-46 and 48-47 for Condit.
"Hats off to Nick Diaz," Condit said afterward. "He's a warrior. I've got nothing but admiration and respect for how he fights."
Diaz was so unhappy with the decision that he said afterward he might retire from the sport.
