Now that the most star-studded card of the year has officially wrapped, it’s time to start hyping “UFC 137: St-Pierre vs. Condit.” Saturday’s UFC 136 show lived up to all expectations, so welterweight king Georges St-Pierre and Co. have some mighty large shoes to fill – despite the fact no shoes will actually be allowed inside the Octagon.
GSP defends his throne against Carlos Condit in the night’s featured attraction. What’s believed to be a 170-pound top contender bout between BJ Penn and Nick Diaz will serve as the co-main event.
UFC 137’s trailer is pretty creative, but not nearly as sweet as the last hype video St-Pierre starred in when he took center stage for UFC 129.
