Diego gets props for that!

Diego is top notch. His fight with Kyro proved that in my book. Riggs is over rated but there is something to be said for standing up with him just like riggs challenged Diego to do and laying him out in the first round. A better question is who does Diego have to beat to prove he deserves respect at 19-0. Penn, Hughes, and GSP could be in his future and that will determine just how great he is, but who can say that he hasn't earned the right to fight those dudes at this point?

I wouldn't consider a counter hook a "lucky" punch.

Yea, you could see how he stepped into it. Incredible boxing technique.

I wouldn't say incredible so much as decent comprehension and application of the basics. Still impressive for Sanchez though, I guess he really has improved.

Beating Riggs and Karo proved that he deserves a fight with Penn at least, maybe Hughes... but not GSP just yet.

Sounds good man. I'd still love to get into one of these fights eventually... I'd like to work on some stuff first though.

When are you planning on goin pro?

Deigo is the man, he is the real champ, GSP is keeping the belt warm , Lucky for Hughes GSP KO's him else Diego would have snapped his arm, easy. You tools on here, little kids, that dont know crap about MMA run your mouths and are always wrong, if you were so smart, go to vegas and bet on the fights, tools lol
