Sanchez, Alessio, Swick and Riggs to fight in UFC 60

Dana White is finally starting to round out the rest of the field for "UFC 60: Hughes vs. Gracie" on May 27.

Fan faDiego added to UFC 60 cardvorite and The Ultimate Fighter season one middleweight champion Diego Sanchez will fight John Alessio in a welterweight contest. Remember, Sanchez and Alessio were supposed to fight in March, but Diego had to pull out of the match at the last minute because of a bad virus.

Mike Swick will also have his hands full with hard-hitting Joe Riggs. Swick is on a tear, winning his last three fights consecutively, and nine overall. Riggs will most likely be bigger and more comfortable at 185 pounds after having a tough time at welterweight.

So, to date, here is the "UFC 60: Hughes vs. Gracie" fight card:

Matt Hughes vs. Royce Gracie
Brandon Vera vs. Assuerio Silva
Joe Riggs vs. Mike Swick
Diego Sanchez vs John Alessio

Sorry Sanchez Alessico had the fight. It didn’t seem like Sanchez was himself. I think the BIG name was handed the win.
