Diego Sanchez: Matches to Make for Him in the Featherweight Division

Inactive since a controversial decision win over Ross Pearson 11 months ago, Diego Sanchez is planning a move down to 145 pounds.

On The MMA Road Show, Diego Sanchez told John Morgan that he made the decision now that he is walking around at 170 pounds. Becoming the first fighter to win in four different UFC divisions provides motivation for Sanchez, but he is also expecting to make a run at the belt.

I weighed out all the positives and the negatives. As a positive, I want to be one of the UFC fighters—Kenny Florian is the only UFC fighter to compete in four divisions, but he didn’t win at 185.
