UFC 143 weigh-in: The new Nick Diaz avoids drama, main eventers hit the mark

LAS VEGAS -- UFC 143 has brought us a new Nick Diaz. That's probably not the case, but the Stockton terror showed some self-control this week at the prefight press conference and today's weigh-in. No pushing, no shoving. The main event is a go with both main event fighters checking in at 169 pounds.

Some in the media thought Condit looked a bit drawn and may have had a tough weight cut.

There was a bit of shock in seeing Roy Nelson look sort of trim. The former 265-pounder, once labeled a bloated truck driver by the Las Vegas Review-Journal, slimmed down to 246.
