Capitalizing on the opportunity to make the most of being the Super Bowl's Saturday night lead-in, the UFC is lining up some of its most marketable stars for their pre-pigskin performance. Former title challenger Scott Jorgensen (13-4 MMA, 2-0 UFC) is scheduled to meet Renan Barao (27-1 MMA, 2-0 UFC), who is looking for his 28th straight victory inside the cage.
Also confirmed is Mike Pierce (13-4 MMA, 5-2 UFC) who will meet fellow welterweight and former title contender Josh Koscheck (16-5 MMA, 14-5 UFC) whose original opponent, Carlos Condit, was inserted in the main event to fill in for an injured Georges St-Pierre. Condit will now headline the evening matching up against Nick Diaz for the interim welterweight belt
UFC 143 takes place Feb. 4 at the Mandalay Bay Events Center in Las Vegas.
