For the majority of his fighting career, Diego Sanchez trained under the tutelage of head coaches Greg Jackson and Mike Winkeljohn.
The famed Albuquerque, N.M. gym has served as the home to numerous UFC champions over the years including Jon Jones, Georges St-Pierre, Rashad Evans and Holly Holm. Long before it recognized as one of the top gyms in all of MMA, Sanchez was one of the original crew that called that facility home as he worked alongside fighters such as Joey Villasenor and Keith Jardine.
