heart against Sam Stout and Frank Edgar. Jeremy Stephens looked pretty impressive in his debut fight with Din Thomas, but he got caught in a submission which is a common mistake from most UFC rookies, but after that he managed to win three straight fights including a win against TUF contestant Cole Miller. However Fisher seems to tough and too resilient to lose to a young Jeremy Stephens, I think this fight will go the distance with The King taking it.

Diego Sanchez vs. Luigi Fioravanti

Diego Sanchez came out looking very strong after winning the first season of The Ultimate Fighter as he beat top UFC fighters in Nick Diaz, Joe Riggs, and Karo Paryisan. However he ran into a speed bump by losing to both Welterweight contenders Jon Fitch and Josh Koscheck. He managed to get a winning streak started again by defeating former Shooto fighter    David Bielkheden and beat him in dominating fashion. Luigi is going into this fight as a big underdog looking to pull off a Matt Serra or Gabriel Gonzaga type upset over Diego, but I don’t think its going to happen because Diego really is looking at a shot at the title and if he wants it that bad he must be training his heart out. I think Diego will take this one by TKO in the first round.

Amir Sadollah vs. C.B. Dollaway

In a rematch from a recent episode of the Ultimate Fighter, Amir Sadollah is going up against CB Dollaway in what looks to be the fight of the night. CB is undefeated in Professional MMA excluding his exhibition fights on the show, he even holds a victory on HDNet’s first event. Amir Sadollah doesn’t really have any history besides his stand on the show, but he has proven to be the Rocky Balboa of the show and has beaten all the fighters who were favored over him, however I think this will be his last stand and he will get put away by CB Dollaway looking to avenge his loss.


Evan Tanner vs. Kendall Grove

                           
In our main event and a make or break fight for both fighters. Evan Tanner is the former middleweight champion of the world and holds 39 fights to his name, but he’s coming off a big KO loss to Yushin Okami. Kendall Da Spyder Grove is the TUF season three winner and is coming off of two first round losses to Patrick Cote and Jorge Rivera. I think Tito trained him well and is very confident in his friend to go out there and beat the former champ. Evan Tanner is looking to prove to the world that he still has it, but its going to be tough and I just don’t see him beating a younger fighter in Grove. It should be a great fight, but Grove will win it in the second.
