Sanchez’s daring call-out

Diego Sanchez’s hunger for big fights was evident in his pre-fight interview before his BKFC debut against Austin Trout. He expressed his desire to fight the biggest names in the sport which included the older Diaz brother. However, he also acknowledged that the fight might not happen due to Nick Diaz still potentially being under a UFC contract. Diego Sanchez said, “I was asking for the Nick Diaz fight.”

He further added, “That’s the real bare-knuckle fight I want, is Nick Diaz. I’m pretty sure he’s under his contract with the UFC for probably the rest of his life, so it will probably never happen. But let me throw that out there to the fans and let the fans know that Diego Sanchez ain’t afraid.”

Nevertheless, he went on to fight Austin Trout and unfortunately lost the bout. After the fight, Diego Sanchez claimed that the former WBA champion cheated his way to victory.
