You wanted it? Well, you got it.
UFC President Dana White today confirmed that reigning UFC Welterweight Champion Georges St. Pierre will defend his title against Strikeforce 170-pound kingpin Nick Diaz at UFC 137 at the Mandalay Bay Events Center on Oct. 29 in Las Vegas.
Champion vs. Champion.
As recently as just a few days ago, White was dispelling rumors of the potential blockbuster match-up, shooting down the fight with claims that there were still "many hurdles" to overcome to make the fight happen.
And while it appeared possible for a short time that Showtime may have nixed the bout, it's all systems clear for a Halloween weekend showdown later this year.
