The UFC is giving us one of the greatest months ever. After announcing a Versus show for October 1st and stacking UFC 136 on October 8th, they will follow up with another stacked event three weeks later in Las Vegas. Seven bouts have been announced so far, and six are worthy of the main card. The main event will be a UFC welterweight title fight between Georges St. Pierre and former Strikeforce welterweight champion Nick Diaz. Add that to a matchup between former WEC welterweight champion Carlos "The Natural Born Killer" Condit and former UFC welterweight and lightweight champion B.J. Penn, two heavyweight wars, and the debut of Japanese featherweight phenom Hatsu Hioki, and you have quite the event. Here's the full card that's been announced so far:
