It's been almost a year-and-a-half since Welterweight champion Georges St. Pierre—who many pundits and fans think is the greatest mixed martial artist in the world—last fought in the Octagon.

Last April, he decidedly took out submission specialist and former Strikeforce Middleweight champion Jake Shields to defend his Welterweight strap, but tore his ACL in the process.

In the meantime, “The Natural Born Killer,” Carlos Condit, has taken the UFC Welterweight division by storm, fending off the division's top contenders and besting Nick Diaz to win the interim title made available due to GSP's layoff.

With GSP fully recovered however, the UFC will unify those two belts on Saturday night and crown an undisputed Welterweight champion.

Alessio Sakara
While none of these four fights have title implications for the moment, they're all stacked with guys who love to bang. Sam Stout-John Makdessi is a battle between top-notch strikers while Rafael dos Anjos-Mark Bocek matches two fantastic grapplers who also can wrestle and strike. Plus, you're nuts if you don't think Patrick Cote-Alessio Sakara is ending in a knockout. UFC
St. Pierre and Condit
It's difficult to find a more improved fighter in the last five years than Condit. He's 5-1 in the UFC right now, and he easily could be 6-0, with his only loss coming via a razor-thin split-decision that went the way of Martin Kampmann in 2009. That fight was fantastic and gave fans a great glimpse of what makes Condit so dangerous: an iron chin, fantastic defensive wrestling, stellar submissions, and lethal strikes. UFC
