Sanchez will be too much for Hughes standing or on the ground. I know deigo has two whole split decision losses, but I still think he is as good if not better then he was before the Koscheck fight. Deigo still has the ability to beat anyone in the WW division including GSP, Fitch, Koscheck, Karo, Alves, Hughes, Lytle... Diego has the best BJJ out of all the top ranked WWs in the UFC.

Sanchez for sure. He's too explosive and i dont see Hughes GnP'ing him on the ground.
Sanchez via TKO or Decision

Sanchez's wrestling is way way overrated. Alessio kept him standing with relative ease, and he did not even try to take Kos down. The one shot he tried on Riggs, Riggs pushed him aside like a rag doll. I do not see him taking Hughes down, and I do not see him keeping Hughes from taking him down. Hughes has not been submitted by somebody from their backs since Hallman and that was eons ago. I do not see it happening again in his career. Sanchez does not have great hands like a lot of people think he does, so I do not think he will threaten Hughes that much standing.
Hughes via Decision.
Btw, Sanchez lost to Fitch by split decision. He lost to Kosceheck by Uni Decision.

I would like to see this fight. Recently, Diego hasn't looked nearly as strong as he used to in his fights. I say Hughes gets him against the cage and beats him up. I just don't think Diego is big or strong enough.
I see no way that Diego could beat GSP at this point. No way. GSP is too big and strong.

Btw, Sanchez lost to Fitch by split decision. He lost to Kosceheck by Uni Decision. | Do you really think you need good hands to beat Hughes standing up? And Diego doesn't need to beat Hughes off his back... he can transition to the back like Penn does to Hughes.

I mean as someone who really likes Penn, you should be the first to look at the comparison and laugh.
Penn was able to sweep Hughes because he is so damn flexable and he still got hurt pulling that sweep. Sanchez would pull his back out and hurt himself as well if tried the same sweep Penn did.
