Alves, not Silva, but Sanchez vs Silva would be good too
Can never catch a break around here. You guys are too quick.
diego will surprise him.
No he won’t. However he might be surprised to see how much smaller he is or how much harder alves hits.
Now that’s a surprise!
I pick Alves to win this one. I think the hardest test for Thiago that night will be the steroid test.
this fight will go to a UD.. they will be on thier guard the whole fight.
if thiago wins he will fight GSP for his title? what happened to BJ?
he would be after bj. or against bj if he wins.
This was on a CBS network add? Wow. Kind of kicking Pro-Elite while it’s down, huh? But correct me if I’m wrong, but doesn’t CBS own Viacom which in turn owns Spike TV? And if true, can it be said that to a certain degree CBS is allowing the UFC to counter-program Elite XC?
If it is that way, thats some funny sh*t! No respect to EliteXC!
MEX. yup, thats why you see all those csi reruns on spike. i can remember seeing ads for Afflictions 1rst show on spike and though the same thing, very odd. someone then explained to me that it was a regional thing with the local tv affliates and that made sense.
Oh yeah, good video. Diego will take it no doubt.
Diego, is who Im going for!
Alves is my favourite fighter. The guy is going to KTFO of Sanchez. Trust me on that one, I guarantee it. I rekcon he gives GSP a run for his money. If his takedown defense is actually as good as it looked against Hughes, I give the win to Alves
C-mon Hughes is past his prime. Diego is a young lion! We’ll see if Thiago can handle Diegos pace? And when was the last time you saw someone beatdown Diego? (none) And when was the last time you saw Thiago get beatdown? (Fitch)
i can see alves taking this one by UD but if he did make it to GSP there’s no way that the takedown defense he showed against hughes will be good enough, look at the speed of GSP’s shoot compared to hughes’ i could see GSP stopping him by GNP or sub, BJ is the only one who stands a chance at consistanly stopping GSP’s takedowns, not that i think he could beat him though
JV: What do you think Sanchez has over Alvez?
Sanchez has better jits, better takedown, better subs, better transitions, better GnP, better cardio and more intensity.
Alves has better striking and a propensity to look like a He-man doll with his gigantic muscles.
Couldnt have said it better myself OJR!!!
lol at OJR’s “He-Man” comment!
Definitely fight of the year implications. This could be even better than Florian/Huerta should have been. I see it going to a decision, and I think Diego might surprise everyone. He’s got absolutely no quit in him, and he trains as hard as anyone in the world. Thiago trains at ATT, and thats one of the best schools in the world. I’m very excited for this one. Either way it ends up, I think we learn a TON about both fighters.
I think Alves will take it, he’s a beast.
I’ll wait til the weigh ins to make my call
I promise you that that Alves shape has been enhanced with something illegal. Mark my words, trust me.
there are way too many controls to get away with something illegal in your body,
“Thiago Alves is a huge 170 pounder!” “Look at his fight with Matt Hughes”.
Uh, no, Thiago Alves was a huge 173 pounder in that fight. Tone down the roids and make weight dude
i doubt its roids its probably the conditioning coach or maybe they have their own balco type thing in florida(joke)
no alves was always very big he just happened to be bigger and needs to cut a little muscle he probably weighed about 200lbs for the fight with hughes which is ridiculous
He didn’t look that big aginst Spencer fisher when he got subbed. That was back i 05 though.
Thiago said that he suffered an injury before the Hughes fight that prevented him from being able to cut weight effectively. He informed the UFC over a week before the fight that he wasn’t going to make weight.
curious as to what the odds will be on this fight.
Diego is gonna be on FIRE Oct 25
cuz Thiago is gonna light his azz up.
I don’t think diego can take him down, and if that’s the case easy KO for the pitbull.
this guy needs to move up to 185 or lose 10 lbs of that blown up muscle hes got…I’m not even counting on this fight to happen….THIAGO HAS TO MAKE WEIGHT FIRST!!!
Thiago will have a huge advantage given that guys that wiegh much more than their opponent are able to absorb the punches without getting rocked. Diego will have to trip him to get him down. I definitely see them standing for the majority of the first round and Diego will probably get cut, but not Ko’ed
I really hope Diego knocks out Alves just like he knocked out Joe Riggs. Who ever wins, it’s going to be a heck of a fight.
diego sanchez, “I’ve never had a boring fight…”
hahah i don’t know about you guys but his fight with koscheck looked like a half ass sparring sesssion….hah pretty effin boring
That’s because the guy’s sick…
Sanchez said that he’s never been in a “unexciting” fight before? Did he forget about Sanchez vs. Koscheck?
