It’s On – Sanchez vs Parisyan
By Thomas Gerbasi

Two of the UFC’s best young welterweights will match skills on Thursday, August 17, when Karo ‘The Heat’ Parisyan battles Diego ‘Nightmare’ Sanchez in the main event of Spike TV’s UFC® Fight Night™, which will be immediately followed by the premiere of The Ultimate Fighter™ 4 – The Comeback.

Ticket and site information, as well as a hard-hitting undercard, will be announced shortly.

Sanchez, 24, the middleweight winner of season one of The Ultimate Fighter™, is unbeaten in mixed martial arts at 17-0, and he is coming off a hard fought decision win over veteran John Alessio at UFC 60 in May. Parisyan (23-3) a seasoned vet himself, though only 23, has won four in a row in the Octagon, and five out of six overall in the UFC, with his only loss coming via decision to number one welterweight contender Georges St. Pierre in 2004. In his last bout, ‘The Heat’ submitted Nick Thompson via strikes in the first round at UFC 59 in April.

If and when Sanchez wins do you think he deserves a title shot?
