UFC 158 takes place Saturday night from Montreal, headlined by a UFC welterweight title bout pitting champion Georges St. Pierre and challenger Nick Diaz. The contest, expected to be one of the biggest pay-per-view attractions of the year, has featured a unique buildup and hype. The mercurial Diaz was controversially selected for the title shot despite losing his last bout and failing a post-fight drug test. St. Pierre and UFC president Dana White justified this decision by saying St. Pierre was angry at Diaz and thought the "disrespectful" Diaz "deserves a beatdown."After a string of defenses in Strikeforce that showcased his potent stand up and high-volume pressure attack, there are no mysteries as to what Diaz’s gameplan will be in the UFC 158 main event: He’s going to come in the same way he always does, looking to force exchanges and mentally break "Rush."Finally, this fight is upon us. The main event at UFC 158: St. Pierre vs. Diaz sees UFC Welterweight champion Georges St. Pierre (23-2 MMA; 17-2 UFC) finally face former Strikeforce champion Nick Diaz (26-8(1) MMA; 7-5 UFC). This five round fight will be for GSP's UFC Welterweight title. The UFC 158 PPV airs this Saturday night, March 16, with the main card beginning at 10:00 p.m. ET / 7:00 p.m. PT.
