The Ultimate Fighting Championship officially announced that UFC 154 in Montreal will be headlined by a welterweight title unification bout between Georges St-Pierre vs. Carlos Condit.
“One of the pound-for-pound best fighters in the world, Georges St-Pierre, is coming home to Montreal to defend not only his pound-for-pound standing, but his welterweight world title,” said UFC president Dana White.
“St-Pierre has been off for over a year recovering from knee surgery and now has to face his toughest test in interim welterweight champion Carlos Condit, who won the interim championship by defeating Nick Diaz while GSP was injured. So on Nov. 17, in Montreal, Canada, it’s champion vs. champion to see who will leave the undisputed UFC welterweight king!”
The UFC will hold a press conference with GSP and Condit on Thursday at noon ET, streaming live on The Underground, courtesy of UFC.com.
