What the hell?

CP you need to do something about this coolguy. Most annoying shit ever.

Anyways, Diego is scary. I outweigh him by a food 70 pounds but I still wouldn't mess with him.

Me and my freind were cracking up at his "YES!" over and over... Shit is bananas

thread in forums on the cool fag all should go and give suggestion on what they should do, where i come from he would get what we call the blanket treatment and no it nothin gay. we'd throw a blanket around him and beat the living shit out of him. it's kinda a community past time.

At first I had the same thought as all the people in the GIF...wtf? But, after I watched him pick apart Stevenson's boring ass boxing, I have new found respect for the inner drive of Diego Sanchez.

He might be one of the most focused, driven, mentally strong fighters ever in the UFC.

I was highly entertained and can't to see more of him at 155.

Diego is a wierd guy I was a fan of his during and after tuf1 but I'm just sick of his wierdness. Also I don't think he looks like he's going to make a big impact on the lw division. He didn't look like he retained much of his strength after dropping the wieght, I'm guessing he will get outmuscled by guida, griffin, sherk, maynard ect. I'd like to see him and nate diaz fight or a rematch with kenny. Kenny would take home the w this time around I think.

Diego did not impress me at all at 155lb. And Joe needs to evolve, I don't know if he threw one leg kick that whole fight. 3 losses in a row for Joe Daddy, all top competition but was it just me or did Joe Daddy look kinda softer for this fight? He seemed me focused on the mental game Diego and him were playing more so than actually trying to win the fight. Like there was a grudge match or something. I was a big fan of Joe but as of late I am a little disappointed.

Let me re-phrase that 3 losses in his last 4 fights.

I think Diego tries a little too hard to appear intense. Some guys just are intense and you can look at them at think WOW that is an intense dude. Diego is not one of those guys. He's more along the lines of "I better look really really mean so people know I'm serious here...I know I'll talk to ghosts...no one likes to mess with a guy that talks to ghosts...yeah thats it...oh boy this is gonna rock". Or somthing like that.

"I think Diego tries a little too hard to appear intense. Some guys just are intense and you can look at them at think WOW that is an intense dude."

Yeah I'm gonna disagree. He wasn't trying to appear as anything. The guy IS intense! You think he's saying "oh man let me do this crazy look so the folks at home think I'm badass". No, just no. Hes focused and he got the job done. I'd be worried if he was still crazy AFTER the fight but he wasn't. He was calm, respectful and very gracious. Now go fuck yourself. :)

You wanna call out fakes and weirdos? Call out Junies disfunctional ass.

I'm gonna take a wild guess and bet that Dana White was sh'tin his pants thinking...."oh no, not another Paulo Fihlo"

Diego is such a fag.

I however, find it completely normal.....................pardon me while I hit this.

Diego needs to act like he's been there before.

Next fight for Diego must be The Carpenter, Clay Guida.

@ Jay Smith

Agree but consider the fact that he only UD'd a 1 dimensional fighter who was just previously mauled by the two top LW's

Funny how before he fights everyone has something to say about how the weight cut will affect him, but after he wins it's all about how he didn't do it well enough.

Fact: Diego Sanchez was/is one of the most dangerous WW fighters in the world.

Personally I was impressed by his first appearance at that weight class.

Plus, if you want to rag on someone for being dramatic... talk to Stevenson. If you're losing a fight you really shouldn't be trying to pump up the crowd; just do your job.

That shits hilarious. He's a great fighter but way over the top with his "get pumped up" routine. Whatever... whatever works.

He does try a little too hard to seem more "articulated" than he really is.

Being from albuquerque, his talking reminds me of the great Johnny Tapia.

For those that don't know, Albuquerque produces men that can throw down... Puro Burque!

I'd like to see Diego fight Danzig next. Wouldn't really put him in title contention if he won but I just want to see it.

@Imbecile

AMEN!

I think his name is spelled DIEGO and not DEIGO

@ armfarmer

Maybe a little harsh, but my criticisms were meant to compare him to other, real champions - the best of the LW and WW divisions - not compare him to the lower-ranked guys that are just brought in to pad the real stand-outs' records (or knock them out, as happened with Kos). I stand by those criticisms of Diego's game when compared to the best couple guys in the division he has fought.

Diego certainly was a high school state wrestling champion... for New Mexico. Now, not to knock the great state of New Mexico, but that isn't the peak of athletic competition, and it pales in comparison with the wrestling accomplishments most guys in the UFC that come from a wrestling background. Diego's wrestling is only good enough to be a threat to the foreign fighters that don't have any wrestling background. He never wrestled against any decent D1, D2, or D3 NCAA guys, so I don't really take his high school accomplishment as anything special. And I'm not just talking about an NCAA champion like Koscheck. Even Chuck Liddell is a more accomplished wrestler than Diego. All the high school championship shows is that he has some natural talent and athleticism. Problem is, that is about all he has.

That is what I was trying to point out. He is a reasonably talented athlete, who seems to have a very good work ethic. Except he isn't the amazing super-star athlete, like GSP or even Kos. So he can't rely on pure athleticism, because the top tier of this sport is dominated by guys of equal or better athleticism to him. And he can rely on his work ethic to only take him so far. It has brought him to this level, but his over-inflated ego won't allow him to actually progress to the level of the top two or three guys in a weight class. They all have equal athleticism, and equal work ethic to Diego. The difference is, they aren't as dumb as him. They train with the right people, because they know good training is better than having your gym revolve entirely around you. They are smart enough to learn new techniques, and be able to put them together in a fight. He is too dumb and to egocentric to improve past the point where he is at, and he can think destiny will carry him to become a legend all he wants, but that is only pathetic delusion.

Word. Both of you.

@ Imbecile

I agree with you, look at the guys in Jackson's all are looking like complete freaks now and are becoming very hard to contend with. (GSP, Marquardt) Diego made a huge mistake leaving and I have to laugh at your comment on how his mother named him. It seems that is the same reassurance he needs from his training camp. "Don't worry Diego, you will start with conquering the UFC, next the world!"

how about sanchez vs neer

that should be action packed

I believe the little voice in his head kept asking if he remebered to turn the stove off. As a side note I thought the alka-seltzer foam was a nice touch.
