The UFC Will celebrate their 20th anniversary in the city that has given them the most in their 20 years as they travel back to Las Vegas. For the 20th anniversary they will hold one of the biggest fights of the year when Georges St. Pierre defends his belt against his toughest test yet. The fight will have plenty behind it but more than anything the fight is an attempt to prove that the era of the dominant champion is still alive.

UFC 158 was a time that many fans and two fighters would finally bury the hatchet and bring an end to a long time grudge. Georges St. Pierre has been the champion for years and is widely considered one of the best fighters in the world. He is not without a few detractors though and one of the loudest was Nick Diaz who would call out the champion while St. Pierre was injured.

Never has a poster expressed a main event so well than the UFC 158 poster that perfectly captures what this fight is all about. UFC 158 is about Georges St. Pierre finally getting the monkey off of his back known as Nick Diaz. In 2011 St. Pierre would be scheduled to fight Nick Diaz for the Welterweight title at UFC 137. Then in a very strange series of event Diaz would decide not to show up for the press conference.

It has been a long time coming, this fight or any fight involving the Welterweight championship in the UFC. The division has seen a very long and strange road led by the leader in the division as GSP was the epicenter of everything. It all started in 2011 when the Welterweight Champion and one of the best pound for pound fighters in the world was slated to take on Nick Diaz in a title fight that had many people wondering if the champion’s reign would end.
