For nearly five years, the Ultimate Fighting Championship’s welterweight division has remained under the rule of one man: Georges St. Pierre.
St. Pierre will defend his 170-pound title against former Strikeforce champion Nick Diaz in the UFC 158 main event on Saturday at the Bell Centre in Montreal. The 31-year-old St. Pierre has won his last 10 fights, establishing himself as one of the top pound-for-pound fighters in the sport. Diaz, 29, has posted 11 victories in his past 12 appearances.
Sherdog.com touched base with a number of professional fighters and trainers to gauge their opinions on the UFC 158 co-headliner:
Jason Dent: St. Pierre is too smart, to talented, too fast, too strong, too experienced and I believe it will be his night. I’m a fan of Diaz inside the cage when it comes to his skills, but I’m a fan of St. Pierre in and out of the cage, as he represents our sport the way it should be represented.
