Diego Sanchez might be mad as a fucking hatter, but he's not stupid. And he definitely knows what asparagus is....
The Ultimate Fighter 1 winner has really come a long way since his win over KenFlo. His run for the lightweight title was one of the most memorable in recent history. The title fight against BJ proved he has more heart than anyone fighting in the UFC today, and although that run didn't end well for Sanchez, he earned more respect and more fans than he'd had before.
His return to welterweight got off to a rough start with the loss to Hathaway back at UFC 114. That was the point when we heard the same thing we always here from a fighter after a tough loss, the promise of change, of the best still to come, of fighting at their full potential. For most this is nothing more than talk, but Diego followed it all up with his impressive victory over Paulo Thiago that also earned him a Fight of the Night bonus. That slam will likely be in his highlight reel for the rest of his career.
A win over Kampmann will put Sanchez on the welterweight map again and will most likely result in a couple of other welterweights calling him out! He'd be no nearer to a title shot anytime soon, but it could lead to some interesting matchups.
For Kampmann things are a little different, he has only one thing in mind, to KTFO Diego Sanchez and getting back into the title race. He promises a return to his roots of letting those Danish hands go and start KO'ing people again. His loss to Shields is nothing to be ashamed of, and an impressive win over Sanchez will put him right back on track, but that's not going to be an easy task and he knows it.
This should be one of those fights that has action all over the octagon. If these guys find their groove and get into it, someone is getting KTFO.
