Nick Diaz got himself tossed from a championship fight with Georges St. Pierre, then proceeded to beat up BJ Penn and talked himself back into the title picture. Here’s how the top 10 welterweights break down after recent events:
1: Georges St. Pierre
Record: 22-2 (won last 9)
Recent opponents: Jake Shields, Josh Koscheck, Dan Hardy
Upcoming: vs Nick Diaz @ UFC 143
At least GSP’s original plan of training for Nick Diaz will get put to use sooner rather than later.
2: Jake Ellenberger
Record: 26-5 (won last 5)
Recent opponents: Jake Shields, Sean Pierson, Carlos Eduardo Rocha
Upcoming: Unknown
With a 5 fight win streak and a win over Jake Shields, “The Juggernaut” is positioning himself for a title shot sooner rather than later. He was to fight Diego Sanchez, though Sanchez’s hand injury has left question marks surrounding this match.
3: Jake Shields
Record: 26-6-1 (lost last 2)
Recent opponents: Jake Ellenberger (loss), Georges St. Pierre (loss), Martin Kampmann
Upcoming: Unknown
