Though many observers feel UFC veteran Diego Sanchez is nearing the end of his fighting career, the 36-year-old remains adamant that he can still make one last run for UFC gold.
Sanchez (27-11) enters his fight at UFC 228 against Craig White on back-to-back knockout losses to Matt Brown and Al Iaquinta. The season one winner of The Ultimate Fighter hasn’t picked up consecutive UFC victories in over seven years, meaning if there ever is a time for Sanchez to start putting some wins together, it’s now.
Currently, Sanchez is not ranked at 170-pounds, and is a long way away from title contention in a talent-packed division.
