no

even with a loss (which won’t happen) he will be 3-3 in the UFC against tough competition.

Jackson has been instrumental to others who lost their "mojo"

I would think that we should see an improved Sanchez.

BJ really crushed his spirit after that championship match several months ago.

I think Greg Jackson's gym motto is:

“Take him down, grind it out. Unless you’re Jon Jones.”

Outside of the Guida fight, Diego hasn’t looked like that relentless fighter that he was back in the day. I think that Diego will do better against Paulo Thiago than he did against Hathaway, but it would not surprise me to see Diego lose. Good for him for fighting tough fighters, but a drop to 155 may help him. There was an argument that the drop to 155 made Diego less energetic, but he showed that he can have success in that division.

Is it just me

or Diego looks like a fat 170 now?

u are right

i was directly behind him in the lineup for the bathroom at the UFC 115 show here in Vancouver and he was so much chubbier than i had recently seen him (at 155 mind you) that i didnt recognize him at first. I dont know why hes chubbier than he used to be at WW

Picture says it all

Sanchez looks scared of a menacing looking Thiago.

Paulo by decision.

Nick Garcia is the Brian Russell of MLS but 10 times worse.
