“I’ll say this in this interview right now: I have a 5-year old daughter, but I’ve given my life for this sport, and I’m ready to die in that cage,” Sanchez told MMA Junkie during a one-on-one interview. “I’m literally ready to die in that cage. If I was to die in the cage, that would be a good death for me, you know? That’s how much I love this sport.”
“I’m in this sport not to be a friend,” Sanchez said, moments after acknowledging he’s had a friendly relationship with Chiesa right up until they signed to fight. “I’m in this sport to dig a grave and to put Michael Chiesa in a body bag and, so, it’s like that. And Nate Diaz has said it before: Kill or be killed, and it really is, man. This is the gladiator (expletive). This isn’t a sport. Anybody who thinks this is a sport is a fool.”
“I’m a ruthless killer, looking to put body bags in the dirt,” Sanchez said. “And it is what it is, because they’re not thinking, he’s not thinking about me 20 years down the road and what my brain is going to be going through. They don’t think about that. Journalists, you journalists don’t think, what about this dude 20 years down the road? When he’s in the hospital getting a CT scan to make sure his brain ain’t bleeding. You know? People don’t understand, this is the real deal.”
Hespect to a true just bleed warrior.
