Hermes Franca vs Sean Sherk also coming soon
UFC president Dana White announced at the UFC Fight Night post-show press conference last night that Hermes Franca would indeed be the next man in line for a shot at the Lightweight title.
Champion of the Lightweight division Sean Sherk is still recovering from an injury suffered in his championship winning performance against Kenny Florian. Because of that, Dana White mentioned the Sherk-Franca title bout would likely be held off until July.
Hermes Franca gained his eighth straight victory last night by scoring a TKO stoppage win over Spencer Fisher. After the bout Franca pulled a GSP-and got on his knees to request a title shot from Dana White. The purple-haired Brazilian apparently got his wish.
Sanchez vs Koshcheck Coming Soon
According to Dave Meltzer at WrestlingObserver.com, the UFC has tenatively scheduled Diego Sanchez vs. Josh Koscheck for their April 7th pay-per view event in Houston, Texas.
The two squared off originally during the first season of The Ultimate Fighter on Spike TV, and had arguably the fight of the season which Sanchez won via decision. The fight never hit either fighters' record as the bouts on the reality show are considered exhibition matches and not professionally sanctioned official bouts.
Other fights rumored for UFC 69 include Ultimate Fighter season two winner Joe Stevenson challenging the returning Caol Uno. Also, Luke Cummo vs. Josh Haynes has been mentioned as well.
We're still in January and we pretty much know UFC's plans through the first half of the year. Pretty crazy stuff.
