It was a crazy week in the MMA world that saw many shows take place this weekend, but all of that was overshadowed by the Nick Diaz fiasco that took place earlier this week. Diaz was pulled from the UFC 137 main event with Carlos Condit stepping in his place to face Georges St. Pierre. However, Nick Diaz will remain on the card and basically switch places with Condit and take on BJ Penn, who was Condit’s original opponent.
