The O2 Arena in London is rapidly becoming a European Mecca of MMA. UFC 95 on Saturday is just another example of why.

Besides featuring the lightweight debut of Diego Sanchez against a fellow “TUF” champion in Joe Stevenson, the main card is crammed with quality pugilistic goodness. Whether it is the return of silky smooth jiu-jitsu impresario Demian Maia or the middleweight tussle between contenders Nate Marquardt and Wilson Gouveia, you’re looking at a card with intrigue and long-term implications.
