Al Iaquinta vs Diego Sanchez. Who you got??

[Jon Stark]

I like this match up! Diego looked good vs Miller and Held and Big Al is coming off a two year lay off. I see this fight going one of two ways. Diego goes down in the first ala Lauzon blitz at 200 or Al gases due to ring rust and not enough prep time and Diego pushes the once in typical fashion to get a UD or SD. I'm taking Sanchez for the W.

 

[KantoTerror]

I think Raging Al got this...Sanchez never peaked and no way he's still prime Sanchez....

 

[MirRocksFedor]

Perfect welcome back fight for Al

 

[Bewareofdawg]

Raging Al is going to beat Diego into a living death. He may even make a couple real estate deals between rounds.

 

[FedorFanBoy]

Easy fight for Al Iaquinta.

 

[Toots]

It depends if Diego is gonna fight smart. If he tries to stand with Al, he's gonna get lit up. But if he fights as a grappler, just seeking the takedown, I think he might get this. Al hasn't fought in a while and always had a bit of a problem in the grappling department. I'd consider Al the favorite, but it's a good fight. They both excel in areas that the other has a problem to deal with. Should be interesting.

Diego faded hard.
I got Al.

 

[Jon Stark]

I haven't watched all of Al's fights. Has he ever shown a tendency to fade later in fights?

As far as i rememebr he keeps a good pace all 3.

2 year lay off and 2 years older could be key factors. I like Diego to steal another UD/SD here.

He beat Masvidal and im almost certain he won the 3rd

 

[The_Renaissance]

Diego is a punching bag with a pulse nowadays, Iaquinta wins an easy UD or smashes him with an elbow or something as he wades in - TKO

 

[MadHouse]

Al beats the nightmare, i mean the dream i mean what the fuck was his nickname again?? anyway Al beats him easy

 

[ARONAbeetFEDOR]

Al is like 2 levels above Diego at this point. Easy 30-27.

 

[lostdog000]

diego peaked many years ago
i dont like al, but he wins

 

[MayhemMonkey]

I cant stand Al, so I really hope Diego beats the shit out of him

 

[MayhemMonkey]

He beat Masvidal and im almost certain he won the 3rd

he did NOT beat Masvidal.... he got a gift against Masvidal

I like masvidal but when he tries to coast like he did in that fight sometimes you lose decisions. Not Al's fault he was going for it
