It’s almost that time.

Tomorrow night (December 13) at 8 p.m. the latest installment of Ultimate Fight Night will air LIVE on SpikeTV. The top two fights — Sanchez-Riggs and Koscheck-Joslin — should be very competitive and exciting to watch.

The rest of the field is just gravy.

So who are these fighters, anyway? What are their MMA records? Are they strikers, grapplers or wrestlers?

For details like that we refer you to the very capable Carlos Arias over at the Orange County Register.

We’ve also posted the analysis below for your convenience.

TELEVISED FIGHTS
Welterweight Joe Riggs (28-8) vs. Diego Sanchez (17-0): Sanchez believes he is destined to win the UFC welterweight title, and Riggs believes he should get another shot at the world title. They get a chance to prove who is more deserving in this UFC Fight Night main event.
Sanchez, the TUF 1 champion, is undefeated in the Octagon with victories over Kenny Florian, Brian Gassaway, Nick Diaz, John Alessio and Karo Parisyan.

Riggs, who has fought from 170 pounds-heavyweight during his career, is 4-3 in the UFC. He is 2-1 in the UFC in 2006 with victories over Diaz and Jason Von Flue and a loss to Mike Swick. He showed flashes when he challenged Matt Hughes for the title at UFC 56 before being submitted in the first round.

Sanchez is a takedown machine with a vicious blend of ground-and-pound and submissions. Keep an eye out for his rear-naked chokes and armbars. Sanchez, who is trained by Greg Jackson in Gaidojutsu, is always in excellent condition. He also has a much-improved standup game.

Riggs is a former All-American high school wrestler with excellent standup skills and one-punch KO power. He has solid submission skills, but his conditioning has been a problem in the past. He will probably like to keep the fight on his feet where he can take advantage of his superior boxing skills.

The winner of this fight will position himself for a shot at newly-crowned UFC 170-pound champion Georges St. Pierre, who scored a second-round TKO over Hughes last month at UFC 65 to capture the title.

Welterweight Jeff Joslin (5-2) vs. Josh Koscheck (8-1): Koscheck, a four-time collegiate All-American and former national wrestling champion, is looking to get another crack at Sanchez, who knocked Koscheck out of the TUF 1 competition.

Koscheck barely resembles the very green mixed martial artist that fans saw on TUF 1. Koscheck has added fighting skills to his outstanding wrestling abilities. An impressive victory over Joslin could move Koscheck closer to a fight against Sanchez.

Don’t expect Joslin to go down without a fight. he is coming to win. Joslin took gold at the Pan American BJJ championships as a purple belt and won the Arnold/Gracie World BJJ Championships open weight division as a brown belt. He has a black belt in Karate, a black belt in BJJ under Romero “Jacare” Cavalcanti and many years of boxing and wrestling experience.

Welterweight Drew Fickett (30-4) vs. Karo Parisyan (23-3): Parisyan is still smarting over his controversial decision loss to Sanchez at UFC Fight Night 6 on Aug. 17.

Parisyan, a judo specialist with excellent submission grappling skills, believes he deserved the verdict in that fight, so he is out to pile up some victories and work his way up the ladder. He is 5-2 in the UFC.

Fickett is a wrestler and submission grappler with a lot of experience. He is 3-2 in the UFC, which includes victories over Josh Neer, Koscheck and most recently Kurt Pellegrino at UFC 61.

His losses came against Josh Burkman and Nick Diaz.

Welterweight Marcus Davis (13-4) vs. Shonie Carter (66-13-7): Carter was one of the stars of TUF 4, reaching the semifinals before losing to eventual champion Matt Serra. Carter is 3-2 in the UFC.

Davis was a cast member on TUF 2, and got knocked out of the competition by eventual champion Joe Stevenson. Davis is 1-1 in the UFC and is coming off a submission victory over Forrest Petz at UFC Fight Night 7 on Oct. 10.

NON-TELEVISED FIGHTS
Light-heavyweight Victor Valimaki (8-2) vs. David Heath (6-0): Valimaki, a submission wrestler, brings a five-fight winning streak into his UFC debut. Heath scored a rear-naked choke victory over Cory Walmsley in his UFC debut at UFC 62.

Middleweight Alan Belcher (8-2) vs. Jorge Santiago (11-6): Santiago, a member of American Top Team, is 1-1 in the UFC. he knocked out Justin Levens with a knee in his UFC debut at UFC Fight Night 5, then got knocked out in the second round by Chris Leben at UFC Fight Night 6. Belcher had a seven-fight winning streak before losing via unanimous decision to Yushin Okami in his UFC debut at UFC 62.

Welterweight Dave Menne (35-5-1) vs. Luigi Fioravanti (8-1): Menne, a former UFC middleweight champion, has lost three of his past four fights, including a unanimous decision to Koscheck at UFC Fight Night 5. Fioravanti’s only loss was via decision to Leben in his UFC debut at UFC Fight Night 4. Fioravanti has won three consecutive fights since the loss, including a first-round KO over Solomon Hutcherson at the TUF 3 finale.

Welterweight Keita Nakamura (13-0-2) vs. Brock Larson (18-1): Nakamura, a Shooto veteran, has won three consecutive fights in the first round via rear-naked choke heading into his UFC debut. Larson gets his second chance in the UFC. He has recorded six consecutive victories since a decision loss to Jon Fitch at UFC Fight Night 2.

Middleweight Logan Clark (7-0) vs. Steve Byrnes (6-0): Both fighters put their undefeated records on the line in their UFC debuts.
