Diego Sanchez made it quite clear leading up to his fight with Michel Pereira at UFC Fight Night 167 in Rio Rancho, New Mexico that he would not compete should Pereira miss weight. It didn’t matter if it was by several pounds or an ounce.
“If he misses weight for this fight,” Sanchez said, "there will be no fight.”
Fortunately for everybody watching this weekend’s card, Michel not only made weight, he came in one pound lighter than required at ‘championship weight.’
“I have a message regarding Diego Sanchez," Michel Pereira said. "I could see the fear in his eyes, and I knew fear was in his head & heart all week because I know he said that if I didn’t make weight, he would not take the fight, regardless of any extra financial benefit. To me, this is the sign of someone who is scared, or is a coward. I don’t believe Diego to be a coward; however I know he is afraid of what is going to happen on Saturday night.”
“I promise that every time you see me step in the cage, you’ll witness a spectacle that you will not forget.”
