"This is a heart felt message for all the supporters of what I do but more importantly what I stand for as a athlete a man and warrior of the octagon, after evaluating the situation with a clear mind I have two options? The first is to feel sorry for myself start doubting myself, god and everything that makes me a winner? Thinking negative like many people would and even are the people that are not in my shoes the people who have no clue and just are so fast to throw out retirement and this and that?

YOUR NOT ME! So just shut your mouths right now before even saying it, ITS NOT YOURS TO SAY! I speak from the heart and do not sugar coat SHIT! so there's that path the quitters path? Or there is the DIEGO path what being a Lionheart is all about it's about picking your self up when you fall learning how you fell and how to prevent it from happening again? This was the first KO of my career some fighters experience it more than ounce in over a decade of fighting the very best UFC has put in front of a man. Loosing is a part of this sport, I choose to believe in my god given abilities and had work earned talent! I choose to believe in my dream! I am confident, I am experienced, i am still very healthy, young for my physical age and more driven and hungry for success than ever.

So I choose to continue to roar like a lion for the lord Jesus and do what I do and that's fight ON! To all my fans and friends that believe in me I love you guys! To all my family that loves me and has there concerns let me assure you I have been tested at the best facilities In The world my cognitive health is the same if not better than it's ever been I'm sharp sober minded and extremely healthy so I know it hurts to see a warrior you love fall but it's part of it and when I am no longer able to compete with the best fighters in the world i will look to what is next!

As for now I'm a beast that got caught with a perfect shot I'm all good and will be back with adjustments that will prevent that from ever happening again! So today I thank god I was not injured In The fight , I still have a iron jaw and a lion heart and a sober mind. You doubters you gonna doubt it's what you do" - LionHeart

Sanchez will have a brain made of soup soon
 
"its my career not yours"
I think hes gonna sue the ufc one day after he is retired
 
Honestly I thought it would read:
"gagag gagaga do do gagag"

I am kinda impressed.

Just stop, dude.
 
So in other words you gonna stay too long and look like shit while taking massive damage. Good call.
 
Well, say what you want about Diego, but he is one motivated individual, for better or for worse.
 
Dana needs to have an intervention
 
reading that makes me change my mind - the damage is already done. no sense stopping now

jokes (in poor taste) aside, everyone knows that it is the fighter's choice when they stop seeking to fight. Diego hasn't been that fun to watch in a while IMO. he should be thankful that people actually care about his health. but I can understand how he can take it the other way.
 
Homie's not gonna be satisfied till he's perma-drinking his nummiez thru straws and wearing a poop-packed Depends, 24 / 7.
 
Of course he can keep fighting; no one is ordering him to stop. but people who are saying he shouldn't keep fighting are giving him good advice, he should probably take it.
 
I kind of understand him. You never loose the competitive edge. Point is other fighters can reflect and wage the negative effects on their health against that. Something Diego is not able to do.
Just watching one interview with Gary Goodridge should be enough.

The "Diego path" seems to be fighting till he is completely braindead. Knowing that most injuries start to show symptoms years after the impact he is on for serious brain damage but good thing he will not
recognize any of that if he keeps fighting. ;)
 
Hard to tell whether he is already punch drunk or whether he is just a really strange fucker or both.

Never really been a Diego fan, but since he stopped being a relevant fighter about 6 years ago I kind of enjoy watching him with a morbid fascination akin to slowing down for a car wreck.

Hope he fights till he's 70. It's not my grey matter.
