With no major events coming up this weekend, this episode of the MMA Outsider Podcast on the fallout from UFC 143, where Carlos Condit earned a unanimous decision win over Nick Diaz.
The judges' decision rubbed plenty of people the wrong way, but we felt the scorecards got it right this time. What's next for Diaz (assuming he really isn't retired)? Hopefully some footwork drills. Now with the interim welterweight championship, Condit has plenty of options even if Georges St. Pierre isn't healthy enough to put together a unification bout next.
UFC 143 had plenty of other big winners and losers and we'll discuss what might be next. For bantamweight contender Renan Barao, a title shot against the winner of Dominick Cruz vs. Urijah Faber is a very strong possibility.
In the second half of the show, we interview Xtreme Couture featherweight prospect Jimmy Jones (3-1), who will take on Joao Victor (2-0) at Superior Cage Combat on Feb. 16 in Las Vegas. That show will also feature Kendall Grove, John Gunderson, and several other UFC veterans. Jones discusses that and what it is like training with top professionals like Martin Kampmann, John Alessio, Jay Hieron, and more.
