Wiki
UFC Fight Night 6 Wiki
In another solidly performing effort for the UFC on Spike TV, Ultimate Fight Night 6 featured a main event pitting welterweight standouts Diego Sanchez and Karo Parisyan against one another in what became recognized as the best fight of the year, with Sanchez winning a hard-fought Unanimous Decision. Although the winner of the fight was rumored to be in the running for a welterweight title short, Sanchez never received his shot at Matt Hughes, the champion at the time.
