Prediction: wrong Sanchez wrong Submission wrong Round 2
@P4p
No the fact Sanchez is better on top, off his back, in transition, at sweeps and submissions is why sanchesz is a better grappler. Gil is not better in every aspect. Stating such does not make it true. Gil however may be good enough to make the one advantage Sanchez does have irrelevant. That however does not in turn make Mel a better grappler. Think you misunderstand being better grappler with being more effective fighter. Mel TDD/skriking is likely to be more then enough to deal with sanchez. however you should not kid yourself that if they just grappled that Mel is by any means superior. Sanchez shows up with the right game plan this fight is a lot closer then you are making it out to be.

I don't think Diego ever submitted somebody in his 18 UFC fights, he was always a solid wrestler but there are much better pure BJJ guys everywhere you look in the UFC. ^^ and that's just the LW div. brah!

How about looking at this BJJ match between Diego Sanchez and Marcelo Garcia (a.k.a. one of if not the best grappler on planet ******' Earth) and then giving me your opinion?
Diego Sanchez did SIGNIFICANTLY better than most full-time BJJ guys. You think ************* Joe Lauzon would do that well? Please. (EDIT: Holy ****, I just realized that the finish was classic GSP/Matt Hughes 1...that's hilarious).
When I see that list, I think definitely Marcello, definitely Leo Santos, definitely Fabricio Camoes but when it comes to the rest, Sanchez has more accolades than all of those guys. His jiu-jitsu style has just not transitioned well into MMA, that's all.
Shame on you die for looking at the fighter's records and comparing submission wins between the fighters. Anyone can ******* count.

For someone who always corrects people here about their proper English/grammar, you obviously don't understand what debatable means.
While I felt that Diego won the fight 29-28, there are people who feel the 2nd round was closer... but that's fine, I'll say it's debatable that he is 1-5 in his last 6... because that makes it sound so much better.

Drunk at the MMA Awards acceptance speech (Video is a little small but this is the best one. Dan Henderson and Rashad Evans present the award lmao)
This is Diego Sanchez completely wasted on TUF 1 while Kenny Florian tries to calm him and and Josh Koscheck instigates
