There isn't a clear cut favorite. I think if Fitch can keep the fight standing, like Koshceck did he will win. His dominant wrestling should allow him to defend the takedown, but if this fight goes to the ground look for Diego to try and stop it via submission or ground and pound. If this fight stays standing I'd give the advantage to Fitch, if it goes to the ground advantage Sanchez. Ipersonally believe the winner of this fight should fight Georges St. Pierre and the winner of that fight should challange the winner of Hughes vs Serra for the Welterweight title.

This will be the toughest fight to date for Fitch. It seems many are predicting Fitch to win. He seems untested. I would pick Karo over Fitch. So I am picking Sanchez.I wouldn't bet on this bout. To close for comfort.[/quote] Go watch Fitch vs Burkman (ufc.com for $1.99) then watch Karo vs Burkman - then tell me Karo would beat Fitch. I understand that common oponents only goes so far, but if you want to make a prediction on Fitch/Karo - that's a great place to start. Fitch made Burkman look like the elephant man and finished him in the 2nd. As far as Fitch being untested: -Shonie Carter -Joff Joslin -Brock Larson -Thiago Alves -Kuniyoshi Hironaka -Luigi Fioravanti -Roan Carneiro He asked for Karo after he finished Luigi, but the UFC gave Burkman the Karo fight instead, even though Fitch destroyed Burkman. Don't knock a guy because he hasn't gotten the fights he's asked for. Everyone will know Fitch after the Diego fight. I think he'll he destroy Diego, but opinions are worthless - we'll all see what's really going to happen on Saturday night.

Obviously, just my opinion, but as far as I know, Diego is 100% healthy right now, so no excuses from any of you Diego lovers when he loses. NO EXCUSES!!!

How can any MMA fan not appreciate some of the performances Diego has put on in the Octogan, especially the Karo and Diaz fights. He can be a bit weird at times but it's no big deal, it's what he does in the octogan that's important. He is definately one of the most exciting and aggresive fighters out there, isn't that what you pay your money for. And how weird can he be to get the woman he's going out with. He is without doubt one of the fighters that make MMA worth watching. As a fan I am hoping Diego wins, it should be an excellent fight if Fitch is as good as everyone says. I am looking forward to this. [/quote] I do appreciate Diego. I actually think that he was the most dominant fighter on any season of TUF, yes, even more dominant than Bisping. Remember the rules of the show were different back in the first season. They had challenges to determine who chose the fight, and there was no rule saying win once, and you're in the semi's. Diego had to win 4 fights to become the Ultimate Fighter, and it was in a weight class above his. However, its worth noting that the other finalist, Kenny Florian, was fighting 2 weight classes above his normal weight - that's 30 lbs! Its just that Fitch is my favorite WW, so why wouldn't I root for Fitch to turn Diego into a bloody pile of Mexican?[/quote] It's actually been 3 times not 8.
