What more is there to be said about Diego Sanchez. The Albuquerque native has more fight of the year awards than anyone currently in the UFC and is consistently the most entertaining fighter on the card. Raw passion, energy and a strong wrestling background has made Sanchez a main stay in the UFC since winning The Ultimate Fighter 1 Middleweight Tournament in the inaugural season o The Ultimate Fighter in 2005. His most recent fight against Gilbert Melendez illustrated exactly what people love about the original yes man. Sanchez set off fireworks at UFC 166 in the Toyota Centre in Houston Texas displaying heart and determination in a physical and bloody three-round war. Despite losing the fight, the 32-year-old, multi-weight fighter earned fans and his colleagues respect that night leading many experts to call it the greatest fight in UFC history.
