I don’t Diego chickened out of that fight, Alves is a big time cheater and he has no chin or heart. Yea he can strike and is a big 170 but that’s it.

UFC 88 needs some fighter on that card; hope it’s Diego vs. Alves.

Diego’s cardio is too much for the overweight Alves.

I’m not a huge Diego fan but he’s a very tough match up for Thiago. His stand up is lightyears better than Hughes’ and he’s got more heart and conditioning than Karo(better stand up too).

Alves was the one who was saved in his fight with Lytle. If not for that bogus cut stoppage he’d have been fighting the third round with one eye against a very dangerous man.

Diego got saved by not taking this match.

Diego will not get smashed by Alves. Alves did get smash by Fitch and submitted by Fisher, lol. Diego has never been finished.

Dang, I was really looking forward to seeing Dego get smashed. Oh well, I guess I’ll have to wait for the rubber match with Koscheck.

Do youguys think Diego Sanchez ducked Alves? Hell I would if I were him. Sanchez is nice and I think he’s improved his fighting skill every match but Alves is an ANIMAL! It would also be nice to see the Machida/ Silva and the Sanchez/ Alves fight on the same card. what do you guys think?

Yea, no basis in fact except that it was listed on the fightcard for UFC 89 on UFC.com until this morning. Fruitcakes.

Serves you right for getting excited about a rumor which had no basis whatsoever in fact!
