“All you little people out there that are Nick Diaz groupies: I beat him then, I’ll beat him again. I don’t know why you guys say this crap. ‘Oh, that was a long time ago! Nick Diaz has gotten so much better.’ You know what, man?! Everybody’s gotten better! That’s what happens! I commend Nick Diaz for everything he’s done, and he did take it to B.J., but the B.J. that fought Nick Diaz was not the B.J. that fought me. I wish I could have fought that B.J… The guy is the most negative guy in the sport, and I would love to put a whooping on him again. I’m still (the) Diego Sanchez who can take down Nick Diaz and his ‘blanky’ legs”
Just two days removed from his UFC on FUEL TV 1 main event against Jake Ellenberger, Diego Sanchez talks to MMAWeekly.com about this whole Nick Diaz saga.
The two originally fought (Diego and Nick) in 2005 and it was Sanchez who got his hand raised by the end of the bout.
Can he repeat? What are your thoughts Penn Nation?

please! nowone has ever whooped nick diaz. the fight was a razor close dec, like all the fights diaz has lost. if they fight again the only one in danger of getting whooped is sanchez!
Dez doesn’t get nick diaz has 0 wrestling and is a turtle when you get him on his back.
nick diaz is a lot better fighter then he was. he would whoop diego’s ass bad
Yeah right bitch!! D would toss that fool around again…why you think idiot that Diaz doesn’t fight wrestlers. He can’t stop a takedown dumbass.
it was a close fight fool! he didn’t even dominate him it was back and forth.. this time he would smash his face standing dumbass!
he dont need to stop takedowns cuz he has sick bjj…just the fukin ufc is geared for wrestlers to win with there shit point system..nick likes fightig and these bitch wrestlers only avoid fighting
i love how everyone comes talking all kinds of mess after Diaz gets suspended! more to come i’m sure hahaha
Dude before you make comments on mma sites..know your mma..D did this interview that week before the Diaz-Condit fight.. They just are bringing it up now..
Knowing your MMA is surfing the Internet and looking for all the fighters’ interviews?
hes right about 1 thing the bj that whooped sanchez wasent half the bj that fought diaz….diaz has gotten better but sanchez is more than a step behind him
Let’s see what happens when Sanchez
Fights ellenburger good luck!!!
& the last time Sanchez fought Diaz was 2005 was a long time ago !
Different fighters now the both of them but good on Diego for trying to light the fire!!!!
lol sanchez is no where near the title picture,,,he could not eve hang at lw he should not be callen out nicks name..he is only doing so cuz he is jealous and knows nick is way better an more populer,,,he needs to shutup
Diego, you never “whooped” Nicks ass the first time you two fought. Sure, it was a good/entertaining fight and the judges gave you a decision.
But let’s be real here, Nick wasn’t even a black belt back in 2005, nor had he even started training his boxing with Rich Perez (who has revolutionized him as a fighter). Thirdly, Diaz hadn’t even started competing in triathlon at that point in time (which has also revolutionized him as an MMA competitor).
Diego was with the Jackson Camp back in 2005 and is again today. Personally, I haven’t seen all that much improvement in Diego’s game/style since his initial rise in the WW division. If anything, he seemed hungrier/more focused back then (I mean, the dude looked puffy & out of shape when he entered the cage in his last fight against Kampmann, which he arguably lost. He also looked like crap against Hathaway). So I take it Sanchez beating Paulo Thiago in a decision makes him & his fans assume he’s faced the better WW competition lately? Seriously?
Wow Diego relax, no one even asked you about Diaz. I don’t blame him for trying to secure his future and all but calm down. I listened to this interview and he was getting all fired up like as if Diaz mentioned your name, haha IMO Diego isn’t on Nick level but that’s just my opinion.
lmao, ‘relax’, ‘calm down’… this is diego sanchez wer talkin about here, he doesnt know the meaning of such words.
YES! YES! YES!…
Im a big sanchez and diaz fan, and i remember that fight like it hapened yesterday. Its a good idea for diego to get people talkin about him BUT, he needs to be consentrating on ellenberger rite now cuz all this diaz talk is makinf him look like hes having dillusions of grandier. This conversation will be much more intreging if/when he beats ellenberger.
As of rite now diaz has improved more, but if diego beats jake and puts on a good performance doing so, then that could be in question. This is probably the most important fight of his carrer and i hope he realizes it. This fight could be the difference of diego being in the top 5 or, not even being in the top 10…
WAR SANCHEZ
No matter which BJ Diego fought he would have taken a beating. That was one of the most one sided MMA fights I’ve ever seen, BJ mauled him. As for Diaz, I think his game has evolved and Diego’s hasn’t as much so IMO Diaz would win that rematch.
In my opinion Diaz won that fight. judges in the UFC have this illusion that just because a fighter is on his back he is loosing, which is bullshit. both Diaz brothers typicall out work their opponents from their gard and end up on the wrong side of the decision. it’s MMA and BJJ is all about the smaller guy winning from his back. the Diago fight is just an other example of Nick getting robbed and prolly contributes to his frustrations and want to retire. i respect any one who gets into the cadge to fight no matter how good or bad, but nothing puts a bigger smile on my face then seeing deago get his ass kicked, i hope him n diaz fight again so i can have that smile!
YES!! YES!!! YES!!!!
I agree. Its also annoying to hear people reference that fight as a reason why nick would lose to other wrestler types. He has evolved so much from that point it is not relevent at all. Nick would smoke Diego like cali dro at this time.
