“Rematches with Koscheck and Fitch are definitely a part of my future. Those guys ain’t going nowhere and I ain’t going nowhere,”
“Until something happens, like say me getting beat up, then I’m not going to go down,” explained Sanchez. “I know in my heart and in my mind that I have what it takes to beat (Georges) St. Pierre, (Matt) Hughes, B.J. (Penn); all those guys.”
“I’ve always been a ground fighter and now I’ve just took it to the next level. I want to be known as the best on the ground,” he stated.
“It’s a career move and it’s a life move out here in S.D. I’ve put in some good time in New Mexico. The way I look at it, there ain’t nothing wrong with some change. I think it’s a good thing. I get to train with one of my jiu-jitsu heroes, Saulo Ribeiro,” said Sanchez.
“My main training partners are Fabricio “Morango” (Camoes), and Gilbert Melendez comes down and helps me out too whenever we can help each other out. Me and him definitely keep the intensity level on 200,000. We don’t take no rounds off. We go full blast. Jake Shields has a hurt back, so he hasn’t been down for this camp, but he also comes down sometimes.”
“All my best performances… have all been on Spike (TV) and I hope to add Luigi Fioravanti to the list,” said Sanchez. “I’m looking to go in and dominate Luigi Fioravanti and see what they got next for me.”
Great interview. Career-wise, Diego needs to win this next one, and win it in dominating fashion.
