Diego Sanchez vs Joe Stevenson likely to serve as UFC 95 main event


Diego Sanchez (19-2) will make his highly anticipated lightweight debut against Joe Stevenson (29-9) at UFC 95, which is scheduled to take place from The O2 Arena in London, England, on February 21.

With UFC Middleweight Champion Anderson Silva informing the promotion that he will not be ready to compete on that date, the 155-pound showdown will likely serve as the main event of the pay-per-view (PPV) broadcast.

Sanchez was knocking on the door of a potential 170-pound title shot with a win over Thiago Alves at UFC 90: "Silva vs. Cote" back in October before making the surprise move to lightweight.

It wasn’t the first time, either.

Before back-to-back losses to Josh Koscheck and Jon Fitch in 2007 -- the only two blemishes on his professional mixed martial arts record -- the inaugural The Ultimate Fighter (TUF) middleweight champion was on the cusp of a title shot.

Naturally, it never came.

"Nightmare" rebounded with impressive consecutive wins and had "The Pitbull" on his radar before a rib injury forced him off the card at the last minute. It also more than likely spelled the end of his career -- at least for the time being -- in the 170-pound category.

It’s not going to get any easier for Sanchez 15 pounds lighter. And his new career at 155 starts against one of the top contenders in the weight class.

Stevenson -- who was the TUF 2 welterweight winner -- is in a rare slump, losing two of his last three bouts. However, those two losses have come to current division champion, BJ Penn, in a fight for the vacant title and Kenny Florian to determine the next championship contender.

That’s some stiff competion.

The newly-minted Brazilian jiu-jitsu black belt will begin his climb back to the top at UFC 95. And a win over a big name and top talent like Sanchez in the featured fight of the night will go a long way toward getting him where he wants to be sooner rather than later.

In fact, the same goes for both fighters.

cool….I would say Diego but Joe needs a win in the worst way…should be a good tilt but not sure if thats main event caliber

by McArthur on Dec 19, 2008 9:24 AM EST reply actions   0 recs

this should be a great fight and good win for sanchez. First thing that went through my mind is wow, the guys in england aren’t getting a proper main event!"

by kevin on Dec 19, 2008 10:23 AM EST up reply actions   0 recs

Pretty good fight. I think sanchez is gonna be a big problem to all the 155’ers. I feel like he might walk right through stevenson but joe needs a win badly so this could also end up being a war! Not much of a main event though IMO.

by allamerican on Dec 19, 2008 11:07 AM EST up reply actions   0 recs

Stevenson is easily a top 5 LW in the UFC except he has lost to two of the top 5 and is about to lose to one more.

by c-war on Dec 19, 2008 11:09 AM EST up reply actions   0 recs

yeah but Diego, with 0 fights at 155, is the top contender (tied with Florian) in my opinion! Sucks to be Joe, a guy just entering his division will get a shot before joe does!

by kevin on Dec 19, 2008 11:52 AM EST up reply actions   0 recs

yeah i see joe losing this one, not good for his career.

by roy on Dec 19, 2008 11:57 AM EST up reply actions   0 recs

Excuse me but Joe Stevenson is not a top 5 fighter at Lightweight. He is so overrated and can only win by guillotine choke. Diego Sanchez will win this fight EASILY

by horny for mma on Dec 19, 2008 12:09 PM EST up reply actions   0 recs

The only problem I see for Diego is how he will handle the weight loss to get to 155. We’ve seen many times when fighters drop a wt. class, the first fight at a lower weight doesn’t show them in top form.

by CL on Dec 19, 2008 12:47 PM EST up reply actions   0 recs

That question was my first thought CL. Is he going to be as explosive and dynamic as he was at WW in his first fight at LW? I’m kinda surprised that the UFC didn’t give him an easier fight for his first one at LW, but it looks like they want him to make an immediate impact. That being said, I expect Diego to be too much for Stevenson. He should be a huge LW, and if he can get Stevenson to the ground I think he’ll finish him.

by GregC on Dec 19, 2008 2:08 PM EST up reply actions   0 recs

I hope to god that Daddy can catch that guillotine which might work. Diego might come in fast and furious trying to finish fast to avoid cardio issues in the later rounds from the cut. I think that’s the time to catch him. This will be very interesting to see because LWs have much more diverse skill sets as a division than WW. So we’ll see how Diego matches up here.

by NameNotRequired on Dec 19, 2008 4:52 PM EST up reply actions   0 recs

No, Diego will not get a shot before Joe. Joe already had his shot and lost, then had the chance for another shot at the same champion and lost that too.

by theCloser on Dec 19, 2008 5:59 PM EST up reply actions   0 recs

Diego will beat this guy standing and on the ground, he beats him in speed, technique and everything, and he’s got the killer instinct..

by RoB on Dec 19, 2008 11:42 PM EST up reply actions   0 recs

standing and ground….maybe, speed…definatelty, tecninque…not so much, killer instinct…perhaps. Joe has finished a great deal of his fights to so I think it’s tough to say that Diego has more of the “killer instict” than him, but on face value…if u watch them both fight, just the intensity that Diego brings, I gotta agree. Not a slight to Joe Daddy or anything, but Diego flat brings the fight in all circumstances. He is like Clay Guida, only he takes a split second now and then to do the right thing. Like GNP, the thing that kills me about Guida is he just goes nuts like Brock…take a second. take a breath. posture up and drop some bombs, don’t just “swick out” and throw a million sloppy hammer fists. Imagine if Brock threw serious shots from the guard…or even mount…WOW! instead he’ll just keep flinging his arms around like a douche and winning fights. If he thought a little bit during a fight he could be truly awe inspiring.

You just made me think of that, could you imagine a fight between Diego and Guida?

by Ixian on Dec 20, 2008 11:01 AM EST up reply actions   0 recs

great fight Kevin but this is not main event quality I mean Joe just got wasted by Penn in a main event in London and Kenny in a co main event and he gets rewarded by being in another main event?

by Robert on Dec 19, 2008 6:27 PM EST up reply actions   0 recs

They are getting screwed as far as a main event is concerned. Stevenson just came off a loss where he was dominated, and this will be the first fight for Diego at 155 and who knows if the weight cut will affect him.

This is a co-main event at best and definetily not worth 50 bucks for a ppv

Diego will destroy Joe,something like Kenny did.

they should match him up with ken flo a rematch….he tkod him in the first round of their first fight….

by skoler1 on Dec 19, 2008 9:27 AM EST reply actions   0 recs

Maybe they will match them up for the vacant LW title after BJ beats GSP. Sucks for Joe because really needs a win. I am sure he is getting sick of his wife telling him he is a little biatch for losing. :)

by BNF on Dec 19, 2008 10:40 AM EST up reply actions   0 recs

I was under the understanding BJ would defend both titles if he beats GSP (which he won’t)

by McArthur on Dec 19, 2008 10:44 AM EST up reply actions   0 recs

I would assume he would vacant the title if he wins and fight Alves. He probably sees that as a bigger challenge than Kenny, but who knows. If he loses he will fight Kenny.

by BNF on Dec 19, 2008 10:56 AM EST up reply actions   0 recs

there is no IF bnf! penn will loose and then drag his chubby a$$ back down to 155 where he belongs to suffer another beating at the hand of florian

by day1er on Dec 19, 2008 11:00 PM EST up reply actions   0 recs

Sanchez is one of the most exciting fighters to watch in the UFC. The only reason the fight is not main event material is because of Joe Daddy. Sorry but Diego is too good for him. Diego and Florian would be a great match up. Remember, Diego was killing Florian in their first fight until that boney elbow of Florians cut him and the ref had to stop the fight. I know Florian is better now but so is Diego. He has an intensity about him when he fights that not many can match.

So am I. I live in Ireland and i’m not going over for this bull. Fair enough its a good fight but not near a main event. 2 fighters out of form. This is more ike a Fight Night main event.
Whit promised ‘the biggest UFC card ever to hit London’. Yeah right if this is the main. Silve v Leites would even dissapoint me as I don’t think Leites is near deserving of a title shot.

its a great fight but its co main event calibar they need a solid main event

by liamd on Dec 19, 2008 9:29 AM EST reply actions   0 recs

They need a better main event. It’s not even a great co-main event, TBH. I feel bad for the UK fans, sometimes it seems like they really get screwed. If Zuffa is serious about growing the brand in the UK, they have to start doing better by those fans. Hopefully the tickets will be cheaper at least.

by No1Dad on Dec 19, 2008 9:36 AM EST reply actions   0 recs

the tickets are not cheaper i spent £340(proberly about $550)and im gonna sell them on ebay if this is the main event because im sorry this is an awful main event!!

Just what can happen though? If there was fighters free, then I would agree with you, but they are all booked up!

not sure…they are not all booked (ink to paper)…if you or ticket holders want big names then maybe you won’t get what you want but personally I like good fights regarless of who is in them…its the luck of the draw ie. i enjoyed Fight for the troops more than UFC 91…go figure

by McArthur on Dec 19, 2008 10:12 AM EST up reply actions   0 recs

You can’t seriously say that us UK fans get screwed. We get all PPV’s for free! We get events actually staged in Britain, many other countries arent so lucky. We’ve had good main events such as Rampage vs Hendo. Yes i agree that some of our events arent on the same level as the US ones, and it is annyoing that the UFC feel the need to fill our cards with average British fighters ie Dan Hardy. But on the whole im happy with the UFC attempts to win over UK fans, and i think Diego vs Stevenson is going to be an awesome fight!

by Sparrow on Dec 19, 2008 9:51 AM EST up reply actions   0 recs

We dont get screwed, quite the opposite, but we also dont get events for “free”. The only reason I bought Setanta is for UFC. That’s all I watch on Setanta. £10 a month, and a £13 sign up fee…. that’s going to be £133 after one year (I signed up in January). While I’m happy paying that price, it certainly aint free!

by Adam on Dec 19, 2008 10:06 AM EST up reply actions   0 recs

Rampage Hendo – Yes. Every other main event bar BJ – Joe Daddy was pretty poor in comparrison to US cards. Pay per view numbers will be terrible too if this is the main event.
£10 for setanta in UK. Its €20 in ireland which is around £17 so €240 for the year is what I pay. Hardly small change

by MMAGreen on Dec 19, 2008 10:23 AM EST up reply actions   0 recs

What can be the main event then? Anderson Silva turned down this event. BJ and GSP would had just fought a couple weeks before. Its also two early for Lesnar vs. Nog/Mir and Forrest/Evans vs. Wandy/Rampage, two fights the UFC will want in the U.S. anyway. So no champs are going to fight. Florian and Alves have already been guaranteed title shots, so why take a fight here and risk being Werdumed. Also, Randy and Chuck do want to fight here. So guys like Joe and Diego are all thats left. Maybe add Maia vs. Leities or Marquardt for a co main event and we’ll have some good fights, even if the big stars aren’t here.

by Andrew on Dec 19, 2008 9:37 AM EST reply actions   0 recs

they need to tell anderson silva or chuck liddle to stop being arragont and say we need you to fight so ur fighting i.e silva said after the cote fight he wanted to fight straight away and now suddenly he doesnt want too…it sucks

Dude stop complaining and just sell your tickets already. This is a good lesson for you to learn to wait until you know who is fighting to buy your tickets. The funniest thing of it is all of the UK events don’t have the biggest names cause of bad luck, timing, ect. but I can’t remember a UK event that wasn’t on fire with great fights.

by Cogito Ergo Sum on Dec 19, 2008 9:53 AM EST up reply actions   0 recs

my bad, i no i went on, but its just annoying ya’know.. ive calmed down now but tbh i dont see this as a strong main event.. its a good fight dont get me wrong but maybe a co main event at its best, im gonna wait untill its confirmed by the ufc before i sell lol..

by bulgin86 on Dec 19, 2008 10:06 AM EST up reply actions   0 recs

and i brought the tickets because dana come out and said this will be the best fight card the uk fans will see, so with them words i thought what the hell he knows what his doing, and plus there were 7,000 of us who already purchased tickets and im sure most of them wont be happy with this..

by bulgin86 on Dec 19, 2008 10:11 AM EST up reply actions   0 recs

I also bought tickets straight away as I didn’t want to be back in row Z. I’ve got 3rd row upper tickets which I was delighted with until the past couple of weeks.

by MMAGreen on Dec 19, 2008 10:25 AM EST up reply actions   0 recs

and dana whites saying the UK fans will be in for the best fight card they have ever seen, i went and saw 75 which was a good good card and 85 wernt too bad but dana cant say that and put stevenson sanchez as a main event, because frankly what are the other fights gonna be?? we will probably get houston alexandra as a co main event ffs..

by bulgin86 on Dec 19, 2008 9:48 AM EST reply actions   0 recs

Same! I went to 75 and 85… I actually enjoyed 85 a lot more!! They just need to think an event through before announcing it, especially in such a hectic schedule period

by the_mexicutioner on Dec 19, 2008 9:49 AM EST reply actions   0 recs

100% agreed. Diego is much quicker, sets a ridiculous pace and is far better in the scrambles. After his last 2 losses I think its foolish for Joe to take this fight. Where does he go after Diego clowns him?

by Machine on Dec 19, 2008 10:09 AM EST up reply actions   0 recs

yea why would Joe accept to fight Diego when he’s going to lose? does he want to get released from his contract or what..

by RoB on Dec 19, 2008 9:16 PM EST up reply actions   0 recs

This is AWESOME! best possible non title fight at 155. I see these guys in much the same light. Similar guys to me…similar skill sets, the way they went into the TUF show and handled everything there. Efrain this season reminded me alot of these two guys. Nover clearly had the biggest upside of anyone on the show this year, but I always felt like Efrain was the favorite because he reminded me of these guys…very good wrestler with submission skills and developing hands. No kicks or technical footwork on the feet but enough to get it to the ground and outwrestle/gnp/sub most fighters out there

by Crowls on Dec 20, 2008 3:51 AM EST up reply actions   0 recs

I agree that its a good fight and I look forward to seeing it. Diego edges out Joe in every aspect of the game though. I just cant see him winning unless Sanchez has an issue cutting the weight. I say Joe goes into hiatus after losing in the 2nd round.

by Machine on Dec 20, 2008 3:58 AM EST up reply actions   0 recs

i don’t know man, i kinda agree but i feel like Joe might be a little better in all areas, it’s just that Diego is the bigger guy and he’s soooo F’ing intense. I think the intensity and the pressure will give Joe fits but Joe may have the better skills.

by Crowls on Dec 20, 2008 4:15 AM EST up reply actions   0 recs

This is a good fight. Diego will win, no doubts on this.

by What? on Dec 19, 2008 9:55 AM EST reply actions   0 recs

Bought 4 tickets for £440 ( roughly $660 ). Surely this can’t be the main event. Stephenson has dropped 2 of his last 3 and Sanchez has won his last 2 of four but they were hardly against top contenders. The UK fans put a lot of trust in the UFC buy buying tickets for an event with no fights yet announced just the promise of an amazing card. I imagine if this is true they’ll make Bisping co main event to try and keep us happy. I still have a lot of faith in Dana and the UFC so hopefully they will pull through and once again put on a great show. UFC shows are always fantastic whoever fights, but it’s always nice to have some big names there.

by Chumpy on Dec 19, 2008 10:22 AM EST reply actions   0 recs

Bisping will be filming TUF at the time. He won’t be added.

by Andrew on Dec 19, 2008 10:46 AM EST up reply actions   0 recs

Diego Sanchez IS a big name. He is one of the most exciting and popular fighters in the UFC, he just shouldnt be fighting Joe Daddy. Diego is way too good for him. Diegos last two wins were to average fighters but he has beaten many top contenders to get to this point. His only two losses were to Top contenders, Fintch and Koschek, who Diego has beaten before. Diego CAN hold a main event card, it just has to be the right opponent. Now Diego vs Florian would have been a main event. That just might be next. I do agree with you about Bisping. I love Bisping. He is so good and I can see him winning the belt in the future. He is in a tough weight class though with Evans and Jackson and Griffin and Machida and Jardine and on and on and on.

by raph on Mar 2, 2009 7:39 AM EST up reply actions   0 recs

should be an easy fight for Diego.. 1 round submission or GnP will win this fight for Diego, the only thing that could stop him is if he comes in horrible shape after the weight cut!

by RoB on Dec 19, 2008 10:30 AM EST reply actions   0 recs

I was thinking the same thing. If Diego handles the weight cut, he should be able to take this. Not counting out Joe though, the guy’s got heart.

Still, I remember everyone slating the UFC 80 card in Newcastle but I’ve been to all UFC events in the UK with the exception of the Brawl at Royal Albert Hall and UFC 80 Rapid Fire was one to remember. Give us some savage fights UFC and we will be happy. Dos Santos would be good, Matt Hughes, Liddell, Couture ( not fighting each other ), Koscheck, Jardine, Maia, Vera, Swick and Bisping also. Maybe they’ll bring David Lee back as co main event?!?!? – That way we’ll be guaranteed a knockout at least!!

by Chumpy on Dec 19, 2008 10:47 AM EST reply actions   0 recs

you’re right Andrew, scrap Bisping from my messages I forgot about TUF. Damn, it’s going to be tough to stack this card, but I’ll still be going.

Diego went down to 155 because he seen what happened to Koscheck. he knows Thiago would pound him!

by RobWhiskey on Dec 19, 2008 11:10 AM EST reply actions   0 recs

I dont think so. Im pretty sure Diego is not scared to fight anybody in the welterweight. I mean Diego did beat Koschek when they first fought, as well as many other top welterweights. Diego is one of the most intense, mentally strong fighters in MMA. Thiago is damn good dont get me wrong, but so is Diego. Its all about match ups also. Because Thiago beat Koschek, BY DECISION, doesnt mean he will beat Sanchez. Plus, Sanchez was still welterweight when Georges ST-Pierre was kicking everyones arse (still is) and Sanchez wanted to fight him. If Diego is not scared of GSP then he is definitely not scared of Thiago. I dont think Thiago can have his way against GSP like he has been other fighters. Thiago will not pound Diego if they ever fight. Diegos record isnt 30’ something and 2’ just because he got lucky.

Give Diego his credit. He doesnt ground and pound almost every fighter he is in the ring with because he is getting lucky. He hasnt lost only 2 fights (by decision) out of 20 something because he got lucky. He is one of the top fighters of both weight classes. If he ever fought GSP, it would make for a great fight. Not a St-Pierre vs Hughs part 2. No this would actually be a fight. Im sure he will move back up in weight again someday and fight GSP.
