What is everyone's fasination with Diego Sanchez

[ninjaiboy22]

I don't understand what the deal is with D.S.
I was there in LA in the 11th row. I saw every second of that fight. How in the world can any of you people say that D.S. won the fight? Why, because he was aggressive? So what? He got rocked, carried and shut down!
What's the point of even having judges. EVERYONE that was there saw the fight and new what happened. D.S. even knew he lost the fight. UFC is getting ridonkeyless. The way that J.A. carried his ass all the way to his corner and then was trying for a standing up on the back reverse arm bar was amazing. My Sifu even said he heard the Rock (he was sitting 2 rows behind him), saying that "that little white kid got robbed". You should've heard the boos and the laughs when Joe Rogan asked why there were boos. D.S. didn't do crap. You people think being aggressive means anything. What about controlling the fight? J.A. controlled the pace the tempo and the outcome of the fight. Even on his back D.S. couldn't do a thing.
I think the UFC really needs to do a change of the judging system. Having a good defense is just as important as a good offense. Look at the Jeremy Horn fight. He was getting beat down. But he pulled it out w/a arm bar. Does that mean w/o the armbar Sonnen would've won because he was more aggressive?
What a joke.
Other than that Great Card!! Lister is a pimp!!!!

Agreed!

JA was kick ass - i just hoped he would have followed up with a cross even once or twice, he would have rocked sanchez. Those were some of the quickest and wickedest sprawls I've seen ... very inspiring.

Yeah John A. fought really well...but I still think Diego won...because he was pressing the action with his takedown attempts and he did manage to get John A's back. Diego should have just taken him down from behind instead of holding onto his back.

Diegos gotta change his nickname to Dirty Sanchez. The fight was impressive, no real losers in that fight.

True, but you think just because "he was pressing action" he was the better fighter that fight. You should have seen it. With Diego on J.A.'s back, J.A. was as cool as Ice. He carried his ass all the way to his corner and was getting advise from his team. What composure.

what did Alessio do? NOTHING, he stopped a few takes downs and ran from Diego while lobbing out a few lousy jabs. Thats it, nothin. No take down of Diego, no control on the ground, as a matter of fact, he gave up his back, a major no no. Diego pressed the action, chased the wimp around the ring, got it on the ground only to have the wimp stand up and ultimatly give his back. Diego won every round going away, Read the rules, pressing the action and being agressive gets points. How anyone thought Alessio DID ANYTHING is a joke, to think he actually won is ridiculous, he did nothing to deserve a victory.
My name is Allessio, I ran from Diego, I gave my back, I didnt want to fight on the ground or mix it up while standing, so i should win the fight LOLOLOLOLL

are you talking about the Great One ? The Peoples Champion?

it would have been great to see alessio get that arm bar from diego when he was on his back....great idea on johns part and bringing him to his corner. But diego did overall show more aggressiveness even though he couldnt get him to the ground. alessio is with militech i think he shoulda been more aggresive with his stand up if that s where he wanted to keep it....(like matt and spencer did) juss opinion

Diego is a jackass freak, but he does have some skill. That fight was close but unfortunately the jackass won. Alessio could have press a lot more, yeah he has great defense, and once he got Diego thinking I can’t take him down, then he should have thrown more punches. There were plenty of times where Diego had his hands down from exhaustion. A little more punches thrown from Alessio and the fight would have been his hands down.

Maybe it was simply that Diego got all recharged with his rain dance right before the fight.

I don't even give a crap about Diego and I was amazed at Alessio's abilities but he did not win. PERIOD! End of discussion. He landed more hits while on his back then Alessio did THE WHOLE FIGHT! His armbar trick obviously didn't do jack, same w/ standing around w/ someone on your back.

Diego may not have gotten a touch down but he is the only one who kicked a field goal, heck it could have just been a Safety. Either way, whether he kept getting stuffed at the line, or not, he pushed, he showed the determination, he got the most noticable points = victory. Maybe Alessio should just go out in pads and be a human punching bag.

Yep, Dwane the rock Johnson, He sat apparently right begind him.
Cameras were all around the rock asking him opinions and what not. Beneath all the noise he could still hear the rocks voice. He has a commanding attitude in his voice.

.

Well I dont know about that "Period end of discussion" bit.
It was seen differently in many peoples eyes. You weren't there. You didn't see the thousands of people booing D.S.
Your right that because he pressed the action he earned more points. I just think that is not enough to win a match. Look at his face. look at his will. He was broken. Just because J.A. didn't capitalize on his chances doesn't mean he didn't inflict more damage.

You don't have to agree w/me or the 20,000 people in the arena. But maybe you'll listen to the UFC.tv and Sherdog.com analysts who both scored the bout 2-1 J.A.

they were booing the local boy losing.
Diego clearly won, and ALlessios lame arm bar or whatever it is was a long way from making a black belt tap out. come think of it, when was the last time in mma a BJJ black belt has actually tapped out?? yes they get KOd and lose on points. ref stoppage, etc, but when did one tap out lately? I cant rememeber off the top of my head

[Zentenk]

Wouldn't it be great if Diego did the same thing? Man that would be one hell of a fight. /sarcasm Alessio had no heart he looked scared he wouldn't do ANYTHING in fear of getting his ass kicked I guess, maybe he should leave. He had no fighting spirit, it was like he was just there to practice defending. It was not a fight he did not fight he just constantly tried to avoid Diego. Had Diego gotten in earlier, he would have won. Maybe Alessio should review his gameplan if he plans on winning any matches. Last time I checked it wasn't the Ultimate Defending Championship.
