Sanchez Vs Alves set for UFC 89
Quote:
While the welterweight division looks toward a championship match in August between current titleholder Georges St. Pierre and Jon Fitch, the weight class will continue to build toward 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.

Showing a true dedication to making his way to the top of the welterweight division, Alves has never been shy about facing top competition in the division.

Most recently, he finished former Ultimate Fighting Championship welterweight kingpin Matt Hughes by TKO in the second round of their main-event matchup in England at UFC 85. Before that fight, Alves became the first fighter ever to knock out Karo Parisyan, thus solidifying himself as one of the most dangerous fighters at 170 pounds.

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.

Sanchez started his career with an unblemished record and looked to be making his way toward an eventual title shot before suffering the first loss of his career against longtime rival Josh Koshcheck in April 2007.

Following a lackluster performance in that fight, Sanchez went to battle with Koscheck’s teammate and current No. 1 contender, Jon Fitch. Despite a strong performance, Sanchez dropped his second fight in row losing a close split decision to Fitch at UFC 76.

Since that time, Sanchez has returned to form, stopping David Bielkheden at UFC 82 and then putting on a stand-up clinic against Luigi Fioravanti at The Ultimate Fighter 7 finale in June.

The matchup between Alves and Sanchez should produce fireworks as both fighters possess an amazing well-rounded style, while maintaining an always intense pace.

Let's hope Alves can actually make weight this time? Well I don't know, I think it's going to be a lot closer than you guys are making it seem, Diego looked really good in his last fight, now I know his opponent isn't nearly as good as Thiago but still he looked like he's back for real

Matt Hughes has looked good his whole career (other than against GSP) and he got ripped apart.

Hughes is getting old though, and its very possible that hes on the decline of his career. Alves wasn't being pressured at all that fight either, Diegos already shown he'll walk down a striker.

He's also shown he can lose to a nub like Kos.

I don't think Alves is a highly decorated wrestler like Josh Koscheck. Kos may be boring as hell but hes certainly got more skill then your giving him credit for.

A lot of people were saying the same thing about Matt Hughes before he faced Alves. Granted Alves didn't make weight, but Alves wrecked him on the feet to start off, and Hughes had no answer. Diego is alright as a striker but he's not in the same league striking wise as Alves.

Diego will try to walk him down, but he's going to get hurt bad in the process.
