Alves v Sanchez

[gumby]

Rumored for UFC 89 http://www.mmaweekly.com/absolutenm/templates/dailynews.asp?articleid=6628&zoneid=13

While the welterweight division looks towards a championship match in August between current titleholder Georges St. Pierre and Jon Fitch, the weight class will continue to build towards a new top contender as MMAWeekly.com has learned that American Top Team knockout artist Thiago “Pitbull” Alves is slated to return on Oct. 19 to face former “Ultimate Fighter” winner Diego Sanchez.

The bout was confirmed to MMAWeekly.com by sources close to the fight. There is currently a verbal agreement with actual bout agreements for the contest expected to be signed in the next few days.

Now Alves will have a chance to cement his placement in the division even more as he takes on the always-dangerous Diego Sanchez in the co-main event of UFC 89 in England, sharing the spotlight with a middleweight bout pitting Michael Bisping against Chris Leben.

Avles buy utter domination.

[finnegan]

Well, its better than nothing.
Alves.

[gumby]

Oh, and this event will be free.

[Mr. Dead Sexy]

This is very good news. WAR ALVES!

[Gasmasker]

I like it. Good matchup.

[finnegan]

Oh, and this event will be free.
now THAT is good news.

[Decommissioner]

It's going to be fun watching Diego try to stand with him and get brutally KO'd.

[Bang Bang]

yes! diego gets another challenges as he tries to return to his over hyped rep

[California Giant]

This should be the sole main event.

I wonder what can be considered "under card" when leben and bisping are headlining

The return of Andy Wang?

[Bang Bang]

one can hope so!

[nvmeplz]

Diego goes for a takedown and will get kneed in the face. KO Alves.

[Tsar]

as much as diego struggled to take fioravanti down, he will have a looong night against alves.

[Shogun Marcus]

as much as diego struggled to take fioravanti down, he will have a looong night against alves.

I thought Fioravanti defended those TD's damn well.

[Bones of Satan]

i don't like this match up

alves is deserving of a title shot right now, and there is a good chance diego beats. diego is in no way deserving of a title shot considering he lost 2 matches, he has beaten 2 cans in the division. diego should be fighting kos in a rematch.

[eyecon221]

it is good cuz it is free, not that i pay to watch them anyways, but i hope alves takes this.

[super hot]

Another UFC event without a championship match. I remember the days that people would complain about Pride for not having the same. I guess times have changed.

[eyecon221]

pride > ufc

I think it was PRIDE champions just not defending them. See Gomi vs Maximus. Or Diaz.

[Bobby Curls]

Awesome! Diego gets the perfect op to show off his new stand-up skills.

[PJ III]

alves is gonna be gnpd to a decision.

[HHJ]

sanchez may have to eat some knees before going into that room to be with jesus

[questforfire]

Alves FTW

[Decommissioner]

pride > ufc

Reps

[SexeCute]

Reps

Reps for repping Pride > UFC

[Hektik]

WAR ALVES

strike up the war horses Gumby!

[Elk Penis]

I hope Diego beats him. I wonder if Alves will make weight, or if he'll stay big like he did to Hughes.

[Torremalku]

Diego by stunning punch into flying knee. I totally serious too.

[Buckner1986]

I hope Diego beats him. I wonder if Alves will make weight, or if he'll stay big like he did to Hughes.

It's obvious that you can miss weight and still move up in the rankings, so why not?

[HHJ]

yes! diego gets another challenges as he tries to return to his over hyped rep

man he will never get THAT rep back

he dropped 2 in a row so hes totally beatable now despite being able to control nature

[Elk Penis]

It's obvious that you can miss weight and still move up in the rankings, so why not?

If I was the UFC, I would tell him that if he doesn't make weight this time (and not get caught using diuretics like he did 3 or 4 fights ago), then he has to fight at 185.

[4fifteen]

[gumby]

Not really, Diego is gonna get pwn'd. Click the link in my sig, son!

[4fifteen]

I know all about your little club!

You just make sure your boy makes weight.

:goatse:I'll be sure to email him.

[latarian milton]

so is this gonna be on spike?

[JihadMeAtHello]

so is this gonna be on spike?

It'd be a travesty if not.

[gumby]

so is this gonna be on spike?I believe that is the 3rd post in the thread, latrine.

[gumby]

NVM, it didn't say that. It just said it would be free.

[gumby]

ttt

[Barack Lesnar]

Sanchez 3rd rd sub

[HHJ]

alves is gonna FUCK HIM UP

[Barack Lesnar]

no wai, dude

[HHJ]

way

diego's agressive enough,but he doesnt have the firepower to deal with alves i dont think

[Barack Lesnar]

we'll see

[Gasmasker]

pretty pumped for this one, pulling for alves but I think that freak diego takes it by late sub or ground and pound stoppage.

[Barack Lesnar]

yep, Alves is overhyped

[Gasmasker]

yep, Alves is overhyped

I just think diego has better ground game, better conditioning and his stand-up looked very improved last time he fought. if diego just tries to stand and go toe-to-toe with alves he will lose, but I think he will be able to get it to the mat and wear alves down.

[Barack Lesnar]

that too, but Alves is still overhyped

[HHJ]

that too, but Alves is still overhyped


stop hating so much
alves DESTROYED matt hughes word

[Barack Lesnar]

diego's still a better fighter

[Gasmasker]

stop hating so much
alves DESTROYED matt hughes word

don't get me wrong, would love to see alves fuck diego up. i just wouldn't put money on it.

[pflo]

I hope Alves destroys Diego electronically and physically.

[Barack Lesnar]

I hope Alves destroys Diego electronically and physically.

:rofl:

[HHJ]

I hope Alves destroys Diego electronically and physically.
THE SHOW IS OVER

[Scorpipede]

This should be the sole main event.

I wonder what can be considered "under card" when leben and bisping are headlining

The return of Andy Wang?

They're both pretty popular. I think it's a good headliner for a non-PPV. I'm thinking Alves by KO, I hope he makes weight this time.

[Scorpipede]

I just think diego has better ground game, better conditioning and his stand-up looked very improved last time he fought. if diego just tries to stand and go toe-to-toe with alves he will lose, but I think he will be able to get it to the mat and wear alves down.

Diego will go to the ground, Alves will have little difficulty standing up I think. He's stronger than Diego and that coupled with skill on the ground will allow him back up. The only way I see Diego winning this is if Alves gasses.

[TONY BONES]

alves > diego
