I would cheer for Thiago.. think he can TKO Diego but.. Diego gave Fitch hell so its tough to say.. hes a better grappler then Thiago and Hughes.. his BJJ game is pretty damn good so its a lot different having a younger, black belt in Diego Sanchez on top of you.. whos also a HUGE WW vs having an older, out of prime Matt Hughes on top of you.. in prime Matt Hughes had some slick submissions and GnP.. out of prime Matt Hughes is just a LnP wrestler.. in prime Diego Sanchez has an entire arsenal on the ground.. and his submissions are better.. I think he subs Alves to be honest.

i totally agree... hughes is out of his prime and not looking good at all...he doesnt have the drive anymore imo...but diego is a very agressive wrestler with decent hands and great jits and controll...i think hed beat thiago up on the ground...
