Thiago Alves vs. Diego Sanchez pushed back
As previously announced, Thiago Alves’ next bout will come against Diego Sanchez, although the date has changed. Originally set for UFC 89, the fight has been pushed back a week and will take place at UFC 90 in Chicago, Illinois.
Alves has been on a roll and will come into the fight not having lost in over two years. His name really catapulted up into the mainstream after he throughly dominated Matt Hughes back at UFC 85. Sanchez is looking to build upon his back-to-back wins which came on the heels of back-to-back losses, the only two of his career.
Mmajunkie.com goes on to report that an Anderson Silva title defense could also take place at UFC 90, assuming he still has the title. Actually, that may be a very safe assumption. Patrick Cote’s name keeps surfacing as a possible challenger.
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.
