Stevenson and Sanchez for UFC 95
The UFC Lightweights Joe Stevenson as well as Diego Sanchez both hit their marks and are supposed to meet at the UFC 95 event. This UFC 95 Event is being called the “Stevenson vs. Sanchez”. This event called the “Stevenson vs. Sanchez” is scheduled to be held at the famous O2 Arena that is situated in London on Saturday. The winners of “The Ultimate Fighter” TV series, namely Stevenson and Sanchez are both well trained UFC professionals and are really anxious to meet each other in an UFC bout. Stevenson weighs 155 pounds and his opponent Sanchez weighs at 156 pounds as per at the event’s official weigh-in that was held on Friday. Stevenson happens to be the ex-KOTC champion had pretty much a rocky year at the UFC’s lightweight ranking events and fans as well as UFC aficionados would be out to prove as well as his avenge himself in London right in front of all his UK fans. Co-incidentally the king of his division B.J. Penn had easily handled him at the UFC 80 event that was held in Newcastle in England had lost a year back. From an absolute mental perspective this match simply might not be anything easy for Stevenson to overcome. Stevenson was earlier defeated by Kenny Florian at a match held at the UFC 91 in the last November and he was defeated with a rear-naked choke hold right in the first-round. Sanchez had begun a run at 155 pounds on Saturday and currently is 2-2 in the last four outings that he faced. This New Mexican athlete however failed to prove his worth in front of welterweights like Josh Koscheck and Jon Fitch in 2007 has bounced back in the year 2008 and has secured wins over Swedish fighters like David Bielkheden and Luigi Fiovaranti who belongs to American Top Team.
