this isn't really a tough pick for me. Diego's fight with Luigi proved that he is extremely vulnerable to anyone with a sprawl. if Luigi could give Diego problems and even win a round (which i thought he did) i am 100% sure that Thiago will be able to win this fight. if Luigi can keep it standing and land punches, then Thiago can too. Diego has been exposed and Thiago will capitalize. i just feel that Diego has fallen in love with boxing and that he will test himself on the feet. when he starts to realize he is outmatched on the feet, he will go to his bull-rush shot which Thiago should be able to easily avoid and land the winning strike in the second round.
Thiago R2 KO

I would love to see Alves (or anyone else) knock Sanchez out cold in the middle of the Octagon.
I think it would be one of my happiest MMA moments.

Diego will destroy Thiago on the ground, his combination of wrestling and jiu jutsu ability is going to be a huge factor in this fight once Thiago realises he can't knock Deigo out because he can't land a solid punch. He'll be too fast.
This is all assuming Thiago Alves's lard ass can make weight.
If he does, man the size differnece is going to be huge, alot like Deigo's fight against Fitch. But since my MMAmath is tellin me that Fitch stomped Thiago's ass into the ground, but couldn't put Diego away, I don't think he was ever in too much danger was he?
I want to go and watch both their fights with Fitch again.....
Diego submission round 2
