Diego Sanchez to Remain at 170 Pounds
January 8, 2008 by Sam Caplan
Here is a MySpace bulletin recently posted by Diego “Nightmare” Sanchez:
Thank you all so much for your on going support and patience, I will be back in the ring really soon. So to answer ALL the questions about when, where, who and at what weight. Here you go.
- I will know by Feb. who I will be fighting
- Probably Vegas, but site not decided
- Whoever UFC puts in front of me, does not really matter, I will be ready!
- 170lbsHope this helps.
So, according to Diego, there’s more news to come pretty soon.
He must have decided to beef up then. I’m guessing he’s gonna face Alves… unless Alves is already booked elsewhere and I just made a fool of myself with that prediction.
I’d love to see a third fight between Kos and Sanchez, perhaps by the end of 2008.
I would love to Kos and Diego fight again also, but only if there was a guarantee that a lighting rig or an anvil would fall on them. I have never liked Kos ever since the Leben incident on TUF 1, and i all i have to say about sanchez is “Meh”.
Sanchez is too proud to retreat to another weight class. To him, it’s a challenge (probably assigned to him by the collective unconscious spirit that talks to him). Either way, he’s got dudes to face down at 170 (Kos, Fitch, and probably his own inner demons). IMHO, he makes for riveting fight watching.
[...] -Despite rumours indicating otherwise, it appears that Diego Sanchez will continue to fight at 170 lbs. [...]
diego is an asshole
