LAS VEGAS – UFC lightweight Diego Sanchez (21-2 MMA, 10-2 UFC) has made some bold claims in recent weeks.
On Saturday night, in the main event of The Ultimate Fighter 9 Finale at The Pearl at the Palms Casino Resort in Las Vegas, “Nightmare” went out and backed up those claims.
In a hyper-paced, blood-soaked, 15-minute, instant-classic contest that had enough action to make Forrest Griffin and Stephan Bonnar blush, Sanchez grinded out a split-decision win over a more-than-game Clay Guida (25-10 MMA, 5-4 UFC). In other action, Team U.K. fighters Ross Pearson and James Wilks emerged as the latest “TUF” champions.
