News Kevin Lee vs. Diego Sanchez set for March 11

[Safton]

What a ridiculous squash match.

Yeah. I'll be surprised if this is even remotely competitive. Even before his terrible COVID infection, Diego looked awful in his last few fights. Like a shadow of a husk of his former self: as if his mind had some vague idea of what he wanted to do (even if was sometimes ill-advised), but his body was physically incapable of executing the movements. And so brittle, too. I would struggle to find many guys on the UFC roster that I would confidently favor him against at this juncture, whether at 155 or 170.

Conversely, even when Kevin got cut -- while he was rather mediocre in the grand scheme of things -- he was still a fighter who appeared to have all the tools to potentially be a fringe Top 15ish guy in the UFC if he could have put it all together intelligently.

Diego retired in order to achieve his final form: scum bag fight promoter/

You mean Khabib?

 

[RizinSon88]

Rashad and Diego running neck and neck for who gets a life-altering beating at this org. (I can't imagine who they could put Evans in against who wouldn't be as bad a match up as Lee/Sanchez...outside of Chuck or Tito).

 

[Michael Linger]

I’ve always been a huge fan of Diego, but he’s going to get wrecked in this fight.

 

[thelovacluka]

Wow, Kebab makes it more and more difficult to respect him.

As a fighter that retired too soon, maybe because he wanted to preserve his health and didn't want to get smahed in the future, and that eventually would happen, this looks like a sleazy moneygrabbing move.

wtf lmao

 

[Dog Gynecologist]

Scott Coker already looking like an honest and thoughtful promoter in comparison with Khabib

This is very out of character coming from someone who tried to book Big Foot vs Tyron Spong

 

[glavinator]

Lol
Fucking khabob, with this shit.

 

[kekiss]

Knowing FKL, he somehow would end up loosing to this brainwashed version of Diego

 

[Classic White Belt]

Wow. This is... nuts?

 

[CasualBot]

... thought Diego died on his anti-vax fabia shield

 

[GIBLERTBAPTISTA]

If Covid didn't kill Diego, Kevin Lee will

 

[SKITZADACTYL]

this org will be like D-tier lmao, and probably won’t even last like 2 years unless the people backing khabib keep pumping unnecessary money into it.

 

[Garnet_StrongerThanYou]

Khabib is just as ruthless as Dana.

actually I doubt even Dana would do this

 

[Simple Southerner]

 

[LeBron]

Disgraceful stuff from The GOAT..

 

[Sickbro69420]

Merry Christmas!

 

[StoneWT]

Diego is going to Fabia FKL. He'll make a new man out of him.

 

[Pharenheit]

Wasn't Diego going to bareknuckle?
