What happens if Diego can’t get the fight to the ground, he couldn’t get Luigi Fioravanti down.

Diego’s only chance of winning this fight is to push Alves’s cardio to the limited, I question Alves’s cardio and heart.

Diego wins in the third VIA TKO if he makes it there.

This should be a great fight, and I have no issue with the winner fighting for the title. I wouldn’t be surprised if Dana and UFC told Alves to make 170 not just 171 or don’t even mention a title shot. It is pretty clear that alves wouldn’t even be in a # 1 contender fight if he made weight against Hughes.

WOW – they just added Vera vs Jardine to the 89 card. Now that’s an interesting fight.

I don’t think Diego will do something too dumb in this fight. It is one fight away from reaching his goal which is to be world champion. I see him being really smart and fighting his fight (taking it to the ground). His stand up has improved a lot but I don’t think he’ll try to rely on it in this fight. I see this as being a really great fight and a great performance from both fighters. Good enough to say that either should be fighting for the title. Good luck Diego!!

man, Diego’s been a favorite of mine for a while now..

this will by far be his toughest fight yet [yes, tougher than Kos, or Fitch]

but, i think he’s back on the right path, and i think he can win this one..

one thing that really scares me, though, is the fact that he’s ALWAYS trying to prove he has a good chin..

I DON’T CARE HOW GOOD YOUR CHIN IS, YOU CAN BE KNOCKED OUT [especially by a guy like Alves]

so, i reallyyyyyyyyy hope he takes this to the ground and shows us some of his beautiful JJ [which i think is some of the best the UFC has to offer right now]

but, i just think that he’ll pull a Frank Shamrock on us.. his ego will give this fight to Alves, if anything.

he’ll want to stand, to prove something, and he might get caught..

I don’t think Diego has earned a shot. Beating Bielkheden and Fioravanti shouldn’t put you in a #1 contender bout. It wasn’t too long ago Diego lost 2 straight. I hope Alves can finish him.

My bet is Sanchez will be exposed here – then end up fighting fitch again after fitch does the job to GSP.

#3 yeah its because he didn’t make weight. You don’t earn a title shot by missing weight and if Hughes had beaten Thiago he would not have had to fight Deigo for a Title shot becasue he would still have been fighting Serra next. Hughes will not fight for a title unless someone other than GSP is holding it. Look to see a Hughes Penn rubber match if Penn takes the title early in 09

Sweet! This should be a great fight, not too likely to go to a decision. Diego looked awesome in his last fight with Luigi and after Alves took Matt Hughes out this definitely looks like a #1 contenders match. Can’t wait.

I thought Alves already earned a shot. Is this because he did not make weight the last fight? If Matt Hughes would he have won he would not be fighting Sanchez for a shot at the title.
