Demian Maia and Diego Sanchez are two of the winningest fighters in UFC history, having scored 20 and 18 respective victories in 30 Octagon appearances each.
Now, they have unofficially agreed to meet next.
Following his win over Mickey Gall at Saturday’s UFC 235 in Las Vegas, Sanchez revealed to the media that him and Maia have tried to make the fight before, having agreed to it on social media, but the UFC opted to give them different matchups.
Now riding a two-fight winning streak against Gall and Craig White, the original TUF winner explained why he wanted to meet the Brazilian jiu-jitsu specialist next.
