Alves has to be on something… they need to test his ass at least once a month… he couldn’t make weight against Hughes that meann’t something… i hope sanchez wins but…
All fighters were tested and he was clean. Diego is delusional because he thinks his chin has been tested. We’ll how it holds up. Karo’s chin didn’t do so good.
Sanchez wins this fight in the first or second round. Diego’s only real fight he has had trouble in was against Fitch. I think Alves will come in aggressive but Sanchez will eventually get him down and pound him out.
Its not that he didnt make the weight for the Hughes fight, that doesnt mean anything. its the fact that if you look and his previous fight before the Hughes fight. He wasnt near as big and muscular as in that fight.
He also was busted using diuretics to make weight in another match.
He has definately juiced, and he is just way too big to try to keep fighting at 170, but like he said, it is dangerous to fight Anderson.
I hope and think that Thiago will knock Sanchez out. Sanchez thinks his stand up is really good but it is no where near Thiago. Thiago by TKO/KO round 2.
i can see Thiago winning this one, only cuz Sanchez sometimes trys to put on too much pressure and isn’t fighting technical, his last fight he was all over the place, works against most other fights but not top 5 WW he’ll get knocked out if he trys to go in their wild….. PLUS i want Thiago to get RUINED by GSP!!! only so we can have a GSP vs Silva match up if GSP beats BJ, then Thiago.. i can see it happening for a huge PPV event…
Sanchez has problems against Bigger stronger wrestlers (i.e. Fitch/Koscheck) and Alves is a Maui-Thai specilist, I think that Sanchez can take this fight down and defeat Alves via decision.
I’ve said it before. If Fioravanti can stuff your takedowns so can any other fighter. It’s gonna be funny watching him run across the cage and eat a knee.
“If he puts diego on the ground, i know for sure he’ll kill him in the ground and pound”-Benkei
i think alves’ takedown defense will be good enough to keep the fight on the feet most of the time, i see him taking this by UD. I liked the comment about fighting at 185 “i don’t no have you see who that champion there is” lol
Thiago is one of my favorite fighters now, I am really impressed by his striking and he is a huge 170. I don’t think anyone can bully him around in 170 division I personally have him ranked #2 behind GSP. The only thing that is bothering me about him is his size I hear some of you mentioning that he may be taking something and he missed making weight against Hughes (only one time so I don’t it will be factor) but if he is juicing I think a suspension is in order.
He also got suspended about a year and half ago for taking an illegal diuretic that is used for cutting weight. It is always a struggle for him to make wieight.
Glad u brought this up. Thiago is a cheater. If a guy will resort to using diuretics you know he won’t hesitate to use anabolic steroids. Just because someone passed a drug test does not mean that they are clean. In many ways steroids are safer than diuretics

How come then they can’t detect this, is it an intentional cover up or is it just not having the right procedure/tool to detect it. They can detect if someone is smoking weed but they can’t detect someone taking roids. I’m a little confused on this.
mania needs to do a top10 rankings for each weight class i see other sites with it but mania is the one im at the most and are the only site im ever at where they listen to what readers say
How can you not like Thiago ? That guy is cool. With that being said, I think he can keep it standing, and he’s going to knock Diegos head into the stadnds
Thiago Alves is one bad dude. Can’t see Diego making it out of the second round in this fight. Alves is the better fighter on the feet and Matt Hughes couldn’t take Thiago down, so can’t see Diego putting Thiago on his back.
ive never seen diego get koed or even stunned, but i have seen thiago get subbed, more than once. diego has great cardio and is gonna bring the fight to thiago. i cant wait for this fight!
Thiago seems to have improved a lot and looked very dominating in his last two fights and is the only guy to finish karo. I would like to see him fight koscheck or get a rematch with fitch, it would be interesting. I actually think thiago is the toughest fight out there for gsp style wise, his vicious knees are bad news for wrestlers. I think gsp will beat penn more convincingly than the first time I doubt gsp gets eye poked again and a 5 rounder definitely doesn’t favor penn, and I think penns striking is over rated. Gsp has better foot movement and better kicks, penn goes all nuts in the first round then has nothing for other rounds gsp is the smarter fighter and will win this one.
I’ll be like Alves, and not talk any smack. My respects to him.
Great interview; it improved my attitude toward Alves. I am rooting for Diego only cause I was already, and previously had a poor outlook on Alves. But, like I said, this interview cheered me up for him.
thiago alves by tko 2nd mother fuder alves baby he will come in there and rape deigo fuck deigo that guy has never beat un opoonent like alves shit deigo can suck my balls or should i trans late cupa me webos puto

I think there is no way diego can pound out alves who will probably outwiegh him by at least 15 lbs on fight night
but I could see diego submittting thiago off his back
put thiago in with a high level BJJ fighter and he will get submitted

Yes it is very dangerous fighting Silva. if you fight Anderson Silva your most likely not getting hurt, your getting injured, put in the hospitol.
i cant wait for this fight. i’m not really a sanchez fan but i predict him to win.
It’s going to be a hell of a fight so I hope Thiago makes weight!
I love how Thiago says it’s his B-Day on Friday and the interviewer says he’ll be in town but Thiago doesn’t invite him to party with him! Ha, haaaaa.
Yea that was funny!!!
Haha, I didn’t even notice that. True.
I hope and think that Thiago will knock Sanchez out. Sanchez thinks his stand up is really good but it is no where near Thiago. Thiago by TKO/KO round 2.
I hate Sanchez. I hope he wins.
Why? So he can get knocked the f***ed out bu GSP!!!
either way - dirty sanchez gets KTFO…win win for us
i cant stand either of those guys… either way well get to see them get punished by gsp for five rounds!
GSP does not want to stand and trade with Thiago i promise you.
i can see Thiago winning this one, only cuz Sanchez sometimes trys to put on too much pressure and isn’t fighting technical, his last fight he was all over the place, works against most other fights but not top 5 WW he’ll get knocked out if he trys to go in their wild…..

Based on your prediction I guess Alves has this one in the bag.
LMAO.

Actually, I was just busting Mr. 17’s jewels.
Diego can just as easily hop on his back ala Stun Gun v. Matt Brown. He has done it before.
The only thing Alves has going for him is his size and striking.
That’s it.
Should be a good one…
i think alves’ takedown defense will be good enough to keep the fight on the feet most of the time, i see him taking this by UD. I liked the comment about fighting at 185 “i don’t no have you see who that champion there is” lol
Alves by vicios KO!! Alves is the 2nd best in the world at 170. I think he gives GPS a run for his money. He has improved a lot since the Fitch fight
Hope Alves pulls this off. I’d like to see GSP or BJ Penn versus someone with knockout power.
Also, props to MMARated. They pull off some good interviews.

Alves=Juice Monkey, its not KO power its STEROID POWER!!!! I cant stand either but hopes the WETDREAM sorry I meant the NIGHTMARE pulls it off.
LOL. The Wetdream for Sanchez? I had always presumed you were a dude! my bad.
Diego will put him to sleep

Alves sucks! he got submitted by a tiny WW in Spencer Fisher. This is a bad matchup for him.
I wanted to see Alves fight Spider, but he’s scared.
i think if he doesn’t make weight they should feed him to the spider…
Thiago Alves is one bad dude. Can’t see Diego making it out of the second round in this fight. Alves is the better fighter on the feet and Matt Hughes couldn’t take Thiago down, so can’t see Diego putting Thiago on his back.
I like Thiago’s shirt. Could anyone make out what the graphic read?
Diego by GnP in round 3
