Not impressive by Mathews but that’s Diego Sanchez fight. Pretty much what I expected. 30-26.

Of course a talk wouldn’t work for Diego, but being the veteran of the sport that he is I doubt Dana wouldn’t at least imply that a talk would take place first.

Time to give Sanchez a retirement fight where he can have a chance of winning and going out on a good performance. Not many people I can think of. Maybe Sanchez vs miller or guida. Melendez if he isn’t already retired. He can’t fight all these young people anymore

As much as Diego should retire, I wouldn't be opposed to seeing him in RIZIN for ****s and giggles.
