He's not ready for a fight in February, but he was supposedly ready for one at 91?

He's not ready for a fight in February, but he was supposedly ready for one at 91? thats what they call not thinking straight and jumping the gun to try and prove themselves. He said he is not ready for 95 and wants to come back in march which is 96.... This fight could be big for Diego Sanchez and hopefully puts him in line for a title shot some time in 09 if he gets a w... |

boo if that is the main-event. It is a big fight for both guys and I honestly don't want to see either one lose. Diego has worked hard since his loss to Fitch and Kos..I would hate for him to lose his first fight at LW..it will put him at the bottom of the barrell..and the bottom is the wrong place to be in the LW division as he will have his work cut out for him to get back to the top. Joe Daddy is coming off losses to Bj Penn and Kenny Florian. He can't lose this fight. He just can't. So I really think this fight is intellectually- disabled, why not have Roger Huerta vs. Diego Sanchez? Dumb fight, but I will still be watching if it does indeed happen  As far as Anderson Silva the guy has like what 4-5 fights left on his contract? I don't think he wants to fight guys just to fight. He wants to fight the top guys. He cleaned out the MW division..there is nobody to fight in the LHW division 'cept maybe Liddell? But I doubt Liddell wants Silva..if he thought Rashad Evans was elusive, that was nothing compared to what Anderson would do to him. He wants to prove he is the P4P best fighter. Let him take his time, do you guys really want to see him run through his fights and then retire within the next year and a half? I would rather him take his time so we can hopefully get superfights like Silva vs. GSP Silva vs. Rampage Silva vs. BJ Penn(Dana said it would never happen but if Penn were to dominate GSP, could he still say no to this?) I think there are endless possibilties with the few fights Silva has left. I don't want to see him waste them on MW's he will destroy. The only MW I want to see him fight is Cote(again) and Maia. |

I would like to see the Stevenson/ Sanchez fight. Not as a main event of a pay per view though. Maybe co-main event or main event of a Ultimate Fight Night.

Amazing that Anderson isn't able to fight after it's announced he is facing another guy with no star quality.
He wants the big fights & Cote before & now a talked about fight with Leites doesn't even come close.

Very Interesting..... Joe Daddy vs Diego would be a very good fight. Both have very similar ground and pound styles..... I am defiantly liking the idea
