Thiago Alves vs. Diego Sanchez at UFC 89?

UFC 89 will be held in England and features a main event of Michael Bisping versus Chris Leben.

I’ve never been the biggest Bisping fan, so I can’t say I’m thrilled about that. I am happy because of another match on that card.

According to MMA weekly, Diego Sanchez will face Thiago Alves. Sanchez is coming off an impressive enough win in The Ultimate Fighter Finale and Alves is coming off his TKO of Matt Hughes.

Fiveouncesofpain.com also has the report that UFC 89 could be free on Spike! TV. Alves vs. Sanchez might as well be the main event of that show because that should be one heck of a fight.
