LAW MMA UPDATE

**UFC President Dana White spoke to the media on Thursday after the press conference and indicated that Georges St-Pierre wants to fight Nick Diaz next and that is the fight they will likely make since St-Pierre wants it so badly. Johny Hendricks was furious over this decision and took to Twitter complaining and begging for the next title fight and eventually White responded saying that he agreed with Hendricks and he would eventually get his shot.

**The weigh-ins for the UFC on FOX 5 card takes place today at 7pm EST in Seattle and will be airing live on Fight Network.

**The injury bug struck the UFC on FOX 5 card with Tim Means slipping inside of a sauna earlier today and knocking himself off of Saturday’s card in Seattle. Means was scheduled to fight Abel Trujillo on the undercard and now Trujillo will fight Marcus LeVesseur on the undercard.

**The UFC has announced a light heavyweight bout between Cyrille Diabate and Jimi Manuwa for the February 16^th UFC on FUEL 7 event in London, England. Diabate most recently stopped Chad Griggs at UFC 154 while Manuwa made a huge statement in his octagon debut at the UFC on FUEL card this past September in Nottingham, England defeating Kyle Kingsbury.
