GSP vs. Diaz is official for UFC 158.

The UFC announced Georges St-Pierre will defend his UFC welterweight title against Nick Diaz at UFC 158 on March 16 at the Bell Centre in Montreal.

The GSP title defense is just one of several welterweight matches that were announced Saturday night.

Rory MacDonald will try to avenge the lone loss of his MMA career when he squares off against Carlos Condit. MacDonald lost to Condit via third-round TKO at UFC 115 on June 12, 2010 in Vancouver.

Johny Hendricks, who voiced his displeasure with St-Pierre for wanting to fight Diaz next this past Monday on The MMA Hour, will battle Jake Ellenberger. Hendricks has won his five previous fights, including a 46-second knockout of Martin Kampmann in his last Octagon appearance at UFC 154, while Jake Ellenberger has won four of his previous five fights.

The last fight that was announced will be a rematch between Alessio Sakara and Patrick Cote. Cote got the win at UFC 154 when Sakara was disqualified for illegal strikes to the back of Cote's head.

I thought cry baby Diaz retired because he didn't get the title shot last time he fought?

He had his shot, he lost it, he got it back again and then he fought Penn due to both Condit and GSP being injured. He then lost to Condit and got suspended because he couldn't stop smoking weed during his training camp.

It's a big money fight. A canadian PPV card headlined by GSP against the only guy he has expressed some kind of "emotion" against since Serra? $$$$$$$$. Hendricks couldn't pull that off because he has no narrative, he's just an amazing fighter.

Every new PPV sways the balance of Sport vs Entertainment to the Entertainment side because the UFC is in it to make money.

The two started by claiming respect for one another as fighters and opponents. Diaz attempted to explain that the reason he often comes off as angry is to garner the attention that he feels he doesn't get for his skill.

"I just think that I should be given the credit that I deserve and that GSP should be given the decorated opponent that he deserves, and I'm hardly that from the fans' perspective," said Diaz about his controversial title shot. "That makes me pretty angry. I think that Georges is going to appreciate that and I think he knows I'm the right guy to be in this position."

About 25 minutes into the call, a reporter asked St-Pierre if he felt he was "pampered," as Diaz had claimed. Diaz saw fit to answer, "I hope so, m$()@#*r!" he yelled. "If I had that much money, I'd be f$*&*% pampering myself the f%(*) up!"

"Let me tell you something, uneducated fool," responded the normally mild-mannered St-Pierre, once he was finally able to get in a word. "I've not always been rich. I started from the bottom and I worked very hard to be where I am right now."

Here is the complete card:

PRELIMINARY CARD (Facebook)

Reuben Duran vs. George Roop

TJ Dillashaw vs. Issei Tamura

Quinn Mulhern vs. Rick Story

PRELIMINARY CARD (FX)

Daron Cruickshank vs. John Makdessi

Jordan Mein vs. Dan Miller

Antonio Carvalho vs. Darren Elkins

Patrick C?t? vs. Bobby Voelker

MAIN CARD (PPV)

Colin Fletcher vs. Mike Ricci

Chris Camozzi vs. Nick Ring

Jake Ellenberger vs. Nate Marquardt

Carlos Condit vs. Johny Hendricks

Georges St-Pierre vs. Nick Diaz

Rick Story took quite a tumble from being on the Main Card to fighting on Facebook. That's especially harsh when they're putting a guy like Mike Ricci on the Main Card against Colin Fletcher, a battle of the last TUF season losers. Maybe he'll end up on the televised part of the event if he gets a nice finish.

I think it would be pretty funny if he didn't pass.

Imagine if, somehow, Nick Diaz beat GSP. He has just beaten the best WW fighter of all time, possibly the #2 P4P fighter of all time... and then he fails the goddamn drug test and it gets overturned to a NC.

That would be a catastrophe. Luckily for the UFC, GSP has said he will put a beating on him and will probably knoc... 50-45.

Did you guys buy your wolf tickets?

I had to look that up and what do you know

"Nick Diaz accuses Dana White and Georges St. Pierre of selling fans 'wolf tickets' to UFC 158"

But here's the funny part: "By Jesse Holland on Mar 14 2013, 4:20p"

OK, it's not THAT funny.

I guess I'm the only one that actually would like for Diaz to beat GSP, it would much things up nicely in the MMA world, of course GSP wins the rematch, and a tossup for the final fight, wouldn't care if Diaz or GSP were to win at that point

For a challenger to pull an upset, especially one of this magnitude, it's always good for MMA since it shakes things up. Diaz has the tools to win, but Henderson and Condit have already shown that if you don't fight a Diaz's fight, they can't beat you. GSP can keep Nick at a distance with the jab, take him down and keep control, he just has to keep himself from getting boxed in against the cage.

not a big fan of GSP but heres hoping GSP keeps the belt so we can see GSP SILVA. Losing would totally destroy that match if it ever happened.

You're more likely to see GSP vs Silva if GSP loses the belt, so root for Diaz. If GSP loses his belt and it's dominant (no immediate rematch), he would be more easily persuaded to move up a weight class to fight Silva. If GSP keeps it and Hendricks beats Condit, Hendricks should have a shot at the title because he really deserves that change. And GSP would probably oblige him.

I looked it up on urban because it was new to me but the meaning is different. Funny stuff though. Nick is out there but I will always root for those fighters. War Diaz, youre pretty deep in gsps head. Hope it works out lol

Not likely... Still, I hope we get to see a great fight.

Nick Diaz following UFC 158: 'I've never paid taxes in my life, I'm probably gonna go to jail'

You put 2 and 2 together and it seems pretty clear to me that Cesar Gracie is ripping Nick Diaz off big time seeing how he still struggles with his finances despite making >800K last year.

Also, next TUF season is being coached by Rousey vs the winner of Tate vs Zingano (most likely Tate). That's cool.

not watching.women fighting in the UFC is the stupidest thing ive ever seen. Its not showcasing talent. Its 2013 if i want to see ###### and ass I can use the internet,i don't have to wait for the UFC to show me ugly women hugging and jumping on each other. I mean Rousey has finished all her 9 fights in an armbar. No one has the ability to defend against an armbar? You'd think the last few opponents would really master defending that. It really shows the lack of talent in the womens division,and what kind of sideshow the UFC is putting on.

    • Still using Classic Outlook? Microsoft highlights 15 reasons to switch to New Outlook by Usama Jawad As many of you may know, Microsoft has been trying to get customers to ditch Classic Outlook in favor of New Outlook for quite some time now. To that end, it has added numerous capabilities to the latter, including PST features, and it is working on several more, such as a unified inbox. However, customer response has been a bit lukewarm so far, with many considering the New Outlook to be "hot garbage". Now, Microsoft has highlighted 15 features that users can leverage in New Outlook in yet another attempt to get customers to migrate. Although not all of the 15 capabilities are exclusive to New Outlook, in fact, most of them are available in Classic Outlook as well. But Microsoft hopes that this combination of familiar and fresh features will be able to attract existing users as well as new ones. For ease of readability, we have summarized the 15 features below: Pin an email: This makes it easier to track important emails Snooze an email: You can temporarily snooze an email thread for a specific time frame until it becomes relevant again. This can be very useful in scenarios where you don't feel like actively following a thread or simply want to follow up on a later date Add multiple categories at the same time: You can assign multiple categories to an email through a single, simplified interface Sweep: As the name implies, you can define automated move processes on your inbox to declutter it, rather than cleaning it up manually Schedule send: Does exactly what it says on the tin, and can be useful when accommodating recipients in different timezones Simplified folder sharing: The sharing process has been simplified so permissions are automatically applied on parent folders Follow a meeting: This is an RSVP option that lets people know that you won't be able to join the meeting but would still like to access a recap Save calendar views: You can save different views for the calendar based on different workflows Improved meeting tracking: Organizers have more controls in viewing meeting responses, such as the ability to sort and download them. Typically useful when there is a large audience Meeting recap: The Outlook Calendar surfaces a meeting recap with recordings, transcripts, and shared files Filtered views: Allows you to declutter your Calendar so that it's easier to scan and schedule Change a recurring event: Users can modify future events of a series of meetings while preserving the configuration of previous ones Rename your email account: This labeling makes it easier to identify multiple accounts in Outlook Modern themes: Exactly what the name says, plus Dark Mode Keyboard shortcuts: This facilitates flexible user behavior as customers can choose between Outlook for Windows shortcuts, Outlook for the web, or turn them off completely There you have it. It's a decent list, but it remains to be seen if it will move the needle in a meaningful way for users who are attached to Classic Outlook. Again, a lot of the aforementioned features are already available in Outlook Classic, but for some, native functionality is not present, and people typically resort to workarounds. Microsoft will be hoping that it's primarily those capabilities that get people to finally switch.

    • Gf needed a new Surface and was looking at a Surface Laptop because of the Snapdragon. Seeing as it was a two year old chip she just decided to get a Lenovo Yoga 2 in 1 instead. Personally this Surface Ultra Cassis reminds me a bit of Razor. It would be interesting if it could handle proper gaming and be 17 inch.
