Diego Sanchez vs. Luigi Fioravanti - This should be one of the more entertaining fights of the night.

Sanchez is a huge fan favorite after winning the first Ultimate Fighter. After defeating Kenny Florian in the The Ultimate Fighter 1 Finale, he proceeded to roll through UFC veterans such as Nick Diaz, Karo Parisyan and Joe Riggs. He looked almost unstoppable until his fight with Josh Koscheck. Since that loss, he has a win over David Bielkheden and a loss to Jon Fitch.

Luigi Fioravanti is a striker that looks to end fights with every punch. He does have good takedown defense, but he will have his hands full with Sanchez. I believe Sanchez will get him to the mat and find some submission win. The question is how fast can it do it and in what round... I am guessing Sanchez chokes out Fioravanti in the first round.

Both Luigi Fioravanti and Luke Cummo are trying to make a splash in the welterweight division. Their division is so stacked that few consider either fighter a true contender. Luigi is probably the better fighter in my opinion, but there is something about Luke Cummo.

After watching him on The Ultimate Fighter I became an instant fan. From what I remember, he was very strange and I kept thinking he would lose his fights. Each episode I was proved wrong and before long I found myself cheering for him to win. I think that is why I am picking him to win now. Expect some vicious elbows from Cummo as he wins via TKO in the second round.
