There’s also a report that FightOpinion.com picked up that Sanchez might participate in the upcoming PRIDE FC Lightweight Grand Prix. I’m not sure about the credibility of the source (it appears to be in Japanese) , but it is
intriguing to say the least — can Sanchez cut to 155 pounds or will the tournament be at the 161-pound PRIDE FC limit that is supposed to be nixed?
We’ll keep you posted.

If he is an animal,he better prove it in the cage against Koscheck…
Agree that he better rip Kos apart,if its a close fight I may stop being such a big supporter of his
Diego is sounding way too over confident, what will he have to say for himself if he comes up short?
Can’t wait until this A-hole wakes-up on his back inside the octagon and asks, ?Que Paso?
Diego is a cocksucker i hope he gets knocked out by koscheck then gets his ass whiped by the light weights im a animal yeah fuck off!!!!!!!!!!!!
I can’t wait to see him take on Koscheck. It should be an awesome fight. Does anyone know what weight he walks around at. Cutting frome 170 to 155 is a big jump. But he always looks like he could cut some weight.
its gonna be hard for anyone to just go in there and rip koscheck apart, the dude is a good fighter, he just needs to win anyway possible, he just needs to outwork koscheck and stay focused and he’ll come away with the win, kos is a tough dude and if he takes diego the distance thats not gonna prove diego is a bum, diego is going to win, he doesn’t need to make it look convincing or any of that bullshit people keep saying, he’s the one with everything to lose, not koscheck, all diego has to do is win, it doesn’t matter how he does it…as for the lw grand prix, every japanese lw and pride fans better hope he doesn’t try to make 155, or he’s gonna go over there and dominate that tournament and come back and be the most dominate 155er ever…everytime he fights the haters come out so if by some crazy miracle he loses they can all say i told you so, the bottom line is the guy IS an animal and IS going to beat anyone he fights, eventually he’s gonna lose thats a given in this sport, but he won’t ever have a loss he won’t avenge, he’s too good, he’s too focuse, he trains too hard, and in my opinion he’s the best, get used to diego sanchez, he’s going nowhere…
You know Kos is a champion wrestler, so imagine if Kos managed to pull out a win on points via the blanket. I wonder if Diego would still talk smack if he lost.

Ok guy. You’re an animal. what do you want to be called?

I’m guessing he walks around @ 180. Yeah, he does look like he could cut some weight but looks can be decieving.

I think he would, I would talk still, after all Kos lost the last fight and he never stopped talking…. Y not?
I like deigo but i still think he needs to win in exciting fashion because he talks too much bull. BUT, I guess its really not considered bull because he backs it up with his fists.I just want to see him beat the living snot out of KOS because KOS hasen’t proven himself in my opinion.
I hate Koscheck! I hated him on the show. I hate his cocky attitude. I hate his gay blonde hair… etc etc. I hope diego pounds the crap out of him…. He thinks hes so hard!
GO KOS! Kick Diegos ass!
I think he could cut and make 155, but I dont know how dominant he would be against PJ Benn, Sherk, even Kenflo.. 155 fighters are FAST.. just the standup alone is worlds differnt. But make no mistake his ground and pound would dominate everyone outside of Gomi, Penn, Sherk…

He already destryoed k flo and yes, he would dominate everyone at 155 but Penn!
i really dont think he could make 155…he’s got a little chub around the midsection, but not enough, who knows though, tough telling…he would be dominant…although like you said, penn would still be there and so would sherk…he has already dominated Kenny though…He beat diaz and diaz beat gomi, not that that means anything, but he seems like he would be a very good tournament fighter
kos is gonna kick his ass man!!!
its a sure win for kos
its gonna look like gsp vs hughes 2
goo kosss!!!
yo luppers, he already dominated ken flo once, and i mean dominated…
dont forget about Ishida’s GnP

His fight with Riggs he weighed under, no saturation to make weight.
I believe sanchez would beat all the 55ers except penn ( for obvious reasons) and sherk. Sherk is very fast and a sanchez-sherk fight would be better than most seem to realize, sherk also beat karo twice. I think penn could beat sanchez and think it would be too close to call with sherk. For some reason I think sanchez is looking past koscheck as he was calling out hughes again, big mistake. I think koscheck has all the tool to pull off a close decision if sanchez doesnt arrive april 7 at the top of his game. I know koscheck will be fighting like his life depends upon it and so will diego = one hell of a fight.
yea, he’s going to the hospital after he fights GSP and gets KTFO
Kos is gonna kik ass!!
Blah, blah, blah. Ya’ll kill me. If you are a Kos fan, then you must love guys with bleached blonde curls. That is way too gay for me.
Oh, yeah. In my book, you also have to back up what you say, or been there done that to say it. Kos is a joke, and the punchline will be Diego’s. What has Kos ever done to even be on the same page as Diego? Nothing. Nothing, again. And nothing one more time. Oh, he ate Fickett’s knee in impressive fashion, I forgot about that….
Anyway, I am hearing the Pride LWGP will be at 161. The Japanese dont cut weight, and the Pride fighter rebellion has already begun starting with this tourney. They wont fight at 155. The UFC is caving this one time, but next time in 4 years it’ll be at 155. Who knows what will really happen then, t
Back to shooto and pancrase for me to see the real lightweights fight. Asking a 25-35 year old man to be 155 is a joke.
“What has Kos ever done to even be on the same page as Diego? Nothing. Nothing, again. And nothing one more time. Oh, he ate Fickett’s knee in impressive fashion”
hahahaah, nice
personaly i think Diego is to cocky, and KOS is an idiot…
i just want to see these guys tear each other apart…actually im starting to dig sanchez more, for the simple fact that KOS thinks he can beat Matt Hughes…dont call out “former UFC champions” when your still working your way threw lower level fighters. thats shows major disrespect.
on another note, i think if there were a hand full of current UFC fighters tossed into the next pride grand prix…it would be a for sure sell out!!!
i cant wait!!!
Kos does look like a chia pet with that hair.
Hey guys! Seems like you love him or hate him. Well personally I do not like neither of these guys. They both think there shit don’t stink. I am not here to say “I told you so” but I am here to say that I do not want to see either of these guys at the top. If I had to pick a fighter, it would be Kos, but only because I dislike Sanchez more. Sanchez is no animal, he is human, and when he does lose I hope he takes it to hart a decides to act like a man, and not a god. Sanchez thinks that his fight with Kos will be an easy one, and in the world of MMA it could be just that, but he should not expect it. I like this fight because it could be a recipe for one of the best fights this year. As far as what puts him on the same page, Nothing really, but I do believe that the fight on the ultimate fighter showed that Kos has a chance. Everyone likes to talk allot about these two, me I am just ready to see Sanchez lose and see Kos get his ass kicked.

I’m tossed on whether Sanchez truly is arrogant, or just cocky like a great fighter needs to be. Kos IS COMPLETELY ARROGANT. I dont think there is any denying that. Calling out Hughes, claiming he is world class, always putting himself in the top five though he has never actually beaten anyone in the top five….
Diego has beaten then all so far and some great fighters at that. I sure hope he knocks out a few teeth in this one again. Diego “The Latino Dentist” Sanchez… I like that. Scares the shit out of me just thinking thinking about it.
The one thing that if it happens will make me frigging puke is, if after the fight they hug and kiss and congradulate one another. At least with Tito and Shamcrock, we knew they hated one another. If this is another Tanner\Baroni BS feud, I am gonna hate both of these mfers.
MTUFC and Mr.Murda- i got to agree with both of ya, i really want 2 c these 2 go at it with no BS getting in the way- no early stoppage,bs cuts over the eye,etc… if these 2 truley hate each other – no huggin and shit… if they r friends that just make all this hype just 2 sell the ppv cause GSP and Serra can’t(my opinion), then y not congradulate each other. If I hate ‘em or not, they were friends on TUF 1 until they had 2 fight. I guess Kos took that ass-whoopin personally. Diego sent Kos 2 the hospital with black and blues all over his 4head! And Diego couldn’t even train 4 the fight(dislocated shoulder falling out of bed) What do u think he’ll do now that he’s possibly pissed?,and healthy!!!??? GONNA B A “GOOD NIGHT”!!!
It’s funny how people can like and dislike people from the same camp… Mike Swick has plenty of fans but everyone hates Kos including me … how can the 2 b friends?
I don’t like either of these guys but I’m pretty sure it won’t be a one sided victory like most on this page think. Sanchez will probably win but I wouldn’t be shocked if koscheck pulls off a split decision via lay and pray. I will be utterly stunned if serra gets past gsp though, and if by some miracle it happens I guarantee serra won’t be champ after his next fight.
haha ibread good point…everyones different….i like swick and Fitch…not Kos so much….I like Randy couture and Dan Henderson….not Matt Lindland…..but then again people change, on tuff 1 Diego and Kos were friends, but swick and Kos werent really….also just becuase you train with guys and are even friends with them doesnt mean your personality is the same…and im sure they dont have to agree on everything

y not Lindland dude? He got screwed by Dana and never got his shot. Then he nearly got a w over Rampage. I agree with everything else you said about personalities and what not. But Lindland…. I don’t like the way he looks(silly hillbilly) but he’s a great fighter.
i dont know about great..i think he’s overrated…he seems like a nice enough guy,kinda too cocky, but also something about his fights…he’s a dominant greco wrestler but he’s boring and throws some goofy looking uneffective punches…plus he knocked himself out once, and got totally dominated in 13 seconds by Terrel/making his ufc debut….so people saying he is the #1 middleweight in the world makes me laugh
good points, but the KO of himself was against F. Vitale right?, that wasn’t his fault man… anyone could have slipped… but yeah you’re right
The one thing I just friggin hate about Lindland is that he doesnt shower. Rampage wasnt kidding about his odor. I think I read he does it to distract his opponents.
I dont give a fuck what he thinks it does for him. When I roll, everyone showers before and afterward. None of this 4 day old funk. The dude just disgusts me.
And Swick is about to get his ass kicked. I cant stand him either, I think its his lip. I know thats stupid, but he is the goofiest looking dude with a piece in.
Why are my comments always Awaiting Moderation? Is it the f—- word? Never was before….
HE LOOKS LIKE HE CAN POP A BLOOD VESSAL
EITHER U LOVE HIM OR HATE HIM HE STILL WILL WOOP KOS ASS
