Diego Sanchez vs Joe Stevenson

The winner of TUF 1 will take on the winner of TUF 2 when Diego Sanchez squares off against Joe Stevenson at UFC 95. The matchup is a great fight and adds more intrigue by way of the fact Sanchez is making his first appearance at 155. Dropping down from 170, Sanchez will test his metal in a smaller frame against Stevenson.
Both fighters are excellent at taking opponents to the mat and ground and pounding them as well as using submission skills. Their grappling might cancel each other out. Strength-wise they will be even as Stevenson is a hell of a strong lightweight and Sanchez could be worn out from making his first cut to 155.

Striking wise the reach advantage might give Sanchez an extra edge. The could be the deciding factor in this fight.
