Around SBN: My First Fight: Diego Sanchez

UFC 69 fight card updates

Former contestants from The Ultimate Fighter (TUF) -- but from separate seasons -- Pete Spratt (15-7) and Marcus Davis (10-3) will face off on the UFC 69 undercard on April 7 in Houston, Texas, according to UFC.com.

Davis recently defeated Shonie Carter (34-16-7) via unanimous decision at UFC Fight Night at Miramar, and Spratt submitted Jeremy Jackson (8-5) at the TUF 4 Finale.

The two welterweights join a card already loaded with TUF talent.

Matt Serra, Diego Sanchez, Josh Koscheck, Mike Swick, Kendall Grove, Joe Stevenson, Josh Haynes and Luke Cummo are all expected to appear.

Here is what we think we know so far:

Georges St. Pierre vs. Matt Serra
Roger Huerta vs. TBD
Diego Sanchez vs. Josh Koscheck
Mike Swick vs. Yushin Okami
Joe Stevenson vs. TBA (possibly Caol Uno)
Alan Belcher vs. Kendall Grove
Thales Leites vs. Pete Sell
Marcus Davis vs. Pete Spratt
Heath Herring vs. TBA
Luke Cummo vs. Josh Haynes

Huerta -- a rising star at 155 -- just fought at UFC 67, defeating John Halverson in less than 20 seconds. It was a poor test for "El Matador" -- hopefully we see him against a solid fighter this time around.

Maybe Stevenson?

There are 10 possible bouts on the card above -- one too many. So, one of them is going to change.

hey UFCmania!… any idea who has linland under contract. i dont feel that lindland has beat anyone that great. do you think silva could take him? why is he ranked so high on some of the other sites?

Lindland fights for the IFL. He’s got a big fight coming up against Fedor under the BoDog banner, however, in April. He’s a freelancer these days it seems. And, apprently BoDog is paying him $700K to fight the Russian and Pride Heavyweight Champion. And, another $300K if he wins.

I highly doubt the UFC is willing to pony up anywhere near that kind of cash ($1 million) for a guy they let go because of a “T-shirt.”

Lindland and Silva would be a great fight, especially if he can get the champ down without getting knocked out first. Unfortuantely, I’m not sure we’ll ever see it in the Octagon. BTW, Lindland is former Olympic wrestler turned MMA fighter. His takedowns are no joke.

thanks for the input. ive seen him fight and just beat the hell out of people, but really hasnt beaten anyone that matters. guess that will change if he beats fedor. (rotflmfao)

yeah his take downs are no joke, and he has beaten up people, but this is the same guy that knocked himself out….i dont know why he would be ranked so high, hes not even the best 185 out of his camp,Henderson is. But im out of the loop on this shirt thing, can someone explain?? I would like to see Huerta fight Melvin Guillard, that would be intense.

oh yeah. guillard huerta. how bad ass would that be

by GasMan on Feb 9, 2007 5:08 PM EST reply actions  

Huerta and Guillard have already fought before. Guillard won but only because he covered himself in vasoline to have an edge over Huerta, who was mainly a wrestler at the time. Oncew the judges found out, they stripped him of the win so it was ruled a no contest. So that would be an awsome rematch in the UFC.

if half the fighters had the heart of josh haynes wow wee i have so much respect for his attitude

Haynes is too emotional, his record will suffer for it in the long run, because it is the rushing of emotions in the cage that lead you into mistakes. he can hit hard, but i dont think his skill set will ever be good enough to beat Luke Cummo.

Man I have mad respect for Haynes. He is the man. He puts on a show every time he goes out there, and I truly believe that some day he will be a force. He does have allot of emotion, but who are we to say that is why he makes mistakes. I tell you what there are times that I was happy to be emotional, otherwise I never would have made it through some of the fights that I have.
