awesome fight

In what will be his first bout in the 155-pound division, UFC veteran Diego Sanchez has agreed to face fellow "The Ultimate Fighter" winner Joe Stevenson.

Rumors of the UFC 95 bout began to surface earlier today, and MMAjunkie.com has learned from sources close to Sanchez that the 26-year-old has signed a bout agreement for the Feb. 21 fight at the O2 Arena in London.

Despite additional reports that the bout would serve as the night's main event, the sources indicated that the fight is currently being tagged as a co-main event for the card.

Diego 2nd rd sub

[flashNsmash]

Diego via TKO, round 2

[Barack Lesnar]

that's also possible

[Mr. Dead Sexy]

I wanna say Diego UD. 155 is a hell of a cut for Diego. But at the same time, it can't be forgotten that Joe sucks.

lol, poor joe

[Barack Lesnar]

i don't think he sucks, but i just don't think he can beat the top guys at 155, like penn, kenflo, etc

[Tsar]

diego by tko--joe's probably gonna get cut if he loses.

[JSN]

this fight is kinda disappointing to me. stevenson, i'm pretty much done having any interest in watching him fight quality opponents. or at least let him fight his way back up to quality opponents. meh ufc LW is just plain retarded anyways. they should have made blow job give up the belt if he wanted his fight with gsp @ 170. lw should be the most interesting division and it's just sitting there on hold.

agreed, fuck bj penn

[Barack Lesnar]

i heard the winner of gsp vs. bj defends against alves next, and if bj wins, then kenflo sits further on the sidelines

[JSN]

i say make kenfag fight griffin, and just pretend that the sherk loss never happened. i think that sherk could give bj a better fight, but make him proven it by knocking off another top contender or two convincingly.

that's dogshit if its true. kenny has earned a shot at bj and I wanna see it.

The same may not be said for Kenny Florian, who has been patiently waiting for his opportunity to challenge for the UFC lightweight title that Penn currently holds.

After Florian defeated Joe Stevenson recently at UFC 91, White told ESPN during a post-event telecast. “I said the winner of this fight is the next 155-pound challenger.”

But if Penn is successful in moving up and wresting away St. Pierre's welterweight strap, it looks like Florian may have to make the tough choice on whether to keep the bench warm a little longer and in waiting for Penn or risk his position on the title contention ladder by facing another top fighter in the lightweight division.

kenflo would beat griffin, and i agree that sherk fought a dumb fight against bj

[Tsar]

i'm not sure if he could have fought a better fight--he struggled to take bj down, and he might have gotten subbed had be managed to do so.

[Barack Lesnar]

i fucking hate bj penn, i hope gsp murders him and then kenflo whoops his ass

who cares about the lightweight division anyway? they are like skinny midgets and if i hear rogan remind me again, how different, fast, and exciting the fight is (that i'm watching) i'm going to put the lightweights on 'ignore'. this is usually followed by a heavy weight bout where rogan describes one or both of the fighters as 'moving like a lightweight'.

HW is the most boring weightclass.

[monodc]

I like LW except for the lack of KO power. You see and hear them connecting with all their might and the opponent barely flinches. In any other weight class a clean hit like that means the fight is over. A TKO is pretty much the best you can realistically hope for, like when BJ pwnt Sherk with that knee.

not anymore

lo and behold the savior of the HW division

agreed. lhw, mw, ww, anything bigger and its lumbering oafs and anything smaller is midget wars.

I call Stevenson UD.

doubt it

[v1tal1]

170-200 are the best athletes and these classes provide the best, most competitive fights. why? its a bigger talent pool to draw from. roughly 75% of the world's men are in this weight range. 15% below and 10% above.

obviously, my stats are approximations, but you get the idea.

take your trolling elsewhere, aaron

[Buckner1986]

They can't pass this off as the main event of a PPV. Hopefully it will be free but I remember an article saying that Spike couldn't afford a UK show in 1st quarter 2009 so Franklin/Hendo and this would both be PPVs.

[Demon Cobras]

Joe Daddy second round sub.

[Bones of Satan]

diego by gnp stoppage

[HHJ]

good matchup,i give the slight nod to diego,but he needs to be careful shooting in that he doesnt get caught in joe's guillotine

[Elk Penis]

Another bad match-up for Stevenson. Diego will probably win by TKO 1st or 2nd round.

i agree - assuming the weight cut isn't an issue, and i think it might be.

At this point everyone knows that is Joe's only real weapon.

[Scorpipede]

i'm not sure if he could have fought a better fight--he struggled to take bj down, and he might have gotten subbed had be managed to do so.

He only tried one takedown if I remember correctly. He should've tried more.

[Scorpipede]

Diego by TKO early on. Could be a weight cut issue but I'm still going with Diego.

[HHJ]

At this point everyone knows that is Joe's only real weapon.
i know but diego shoots frequently and aggressivley

Sanchez is not the same fighter he used to be.

[super hot]

Both these guys suck

take your shitty trolling elsewhere, mante

[super hot]

It's not trolling, it's the truth. I find it funny that most of your favorite fighters were on TUF. You fit the description of a TUF noob.

my favorites are lesnar, anderson, chuck, rampage, gsp, etc

the only TUF fighter i'd consider one of my faves would be nate diaz

[Barack Lesnar]

and both diego and joe daddy are good fighters, asshole. same with kenny florian and forrest griffin and josh koscheck and even rashad evans, even though i hate him

[super hot]

I agree with florian. But I could do without a bunch of these scrubs. UFC thinks putting two good fights on a card is a good deal for fans.

[Barack Lesnar]

florian's gonna beat bj :cheers:

[Barack Lesnar]

and dana white is helping bj duck him :mad:

[Buckner1986]

I'd like to see Florian/Penn or even Florian/Sherk 2.

[Maniac]

Those two are both in my book of good fighters but I'm going to have to give diego this fight. Joe disappointed me with his previous fight.
