Too many excuses for one fight and i hope we see evidence of this staph infection, just like Forrest did.

damn the dude should have asked him about the lw grand prix, i wonder if the staff infection would keep him out of that…either way i’m glad he wants to get back into the octagon asap, and it sounds like he’s taking this loss like a professional and it sounds like he’s gonna look forward instead of backward and thats good, i can’t wait to see who he’s fighting next and when…

He said he videotaped it.

He said he videotaped it.

During the fight, there was some "mental block’ that he felt he was going to end the bout with one punch. He said it was some sort of daze. As a result, Sanchez let the fight get away from him. He feels that he beat himself and didn’t get beat by Koscheck.

Hmmm I wonder if that has any relation to his getting busted for mary jane :)

What ever, hes still a dip $hit. I like him as a fighter but his image is tarnished now. Hes not the “good guy” everyone used to think he was.

Hes in the same ballpark as hughs as far as image goes.

He will “let Koscheck have the win” give me a g*d damn break, he can’t “let” Koscheck “have” anything. Koscheck TOOK the win, he freakin won, he BEAT DIEGO….Diego can try and believe he beat himself or whatever helps him wake up in the morning, but it doesn’t sound like he learn a damn thing from this loss. His freakin Myspace page has is record as 20-0. Can we say denial? After the weigh-ins and then his post-fight whinning, I think he hasn’t learned anything and will NEED to lose more fights until he can grow from the experience.

I still wanna see his next fight.

Diego let kos “have” the win in the sense that instead of coming out ferociously like he usually does, he pretty much stood there. I agree however, it is his fault, and KOS rightfully deserves the win. However, I do feel that Sanchez is still a better fighter than KOS and that should they rematch in the future, KOS should be defeated as long as Diego sticks to his gameplan.

fightfan51 and the Purple Nurpler…I couldn’t agree w/ya more. Diego didn’t fight like he usually does, but I’m glad you agree, bottom line….he lost. He should admit to it instead of making up all the excuses.

IM A HUGE DIEGO FAN… BUT I WAS A LITTLE DISAPPOINTED IN HIS LACK OF SPORTSMANSHIP AFTER THE LOSS, AND THE FACT THAT HE WAS MAKING EXCUSES. HOWEVER, I DO FEEL THAT HIS LOSS WAS AN EXTREMELY GOOD THING. THE AMOUNT YOU LEARN ABOUT YOURSELF AS A FIGHTER AFTER 19 FIGHTS AND NEVER LOSING DOESN’T COMPARE TO WHAT YOU LEARN AFTER A LOSS. IM HOPING DIEGO WILL TAKE ADVANTAGE OF HIS LOSS INSTEAD OF SULKING AND MAKING EXCUSES. HE NEEDS TO RETURN TO THE WARRIOR SPIRIT HE IS KNOWN FOR, ACT LIKE A MAN, AND COME BACK STRONGER THAN EVER!

Diego needs to man up and stop making excuses. I’ll give him a pass this time, but he better bring it his next time out.

“After the weigh-ins and then his post-fight whinning, "

where did you see post fight whining? i didn’t think he was at the post fight press conference and i’m sure he left the octagon before joe rogan could ask him anything…when was he whining???

excuses,excuses

Heh funny that all the fighters with the smart mouthes who got owned over the past week or so are claiming all sorts of excuses. Buck up and Shut up boys

Well the fight went just the way I expected. Diego said he wasn’t afraid to get hit but I saw something else. I believe that he should have tried to take KOS down and put him on his back. That is Diego’s strongest assest, and he did not use it. When the first round had ended and Diego had taken Kos back, I thought it was Diego’s fight if he kept doing that, But he turned it into a Box match and Kos stand up wasn’t bad as expected. Can’t wait to see Diego’s next fight, I wonder who he’ll fight next Fitch? and Kos Matt Hughes should be very interesting!

I too will give him a pass but one more fight like this and he’s off my list

At least he’s not denying the loss, as many of us had previously thought. To me, that changes a lot, it means he is still sane. I hope he comes back on fire for another 19 straight wins.

I thought he was a “warrior” and a “animal”??!! Maybe he should go hand out with Hughes & Sherk on the farm.

Full of excuses…..BE A MAN.

DID ANY ONE SEE A LIST OF EXCUSES FROM GSP?

“I was beat fair and square. No excuses, I trained hard and I just made some mistakes”

Diego should have said something along the lines of “I suck and I am not as good as I made my self believe. KOS beat me fair and square and I was afraid he would knock me out”

What ever, hes still a dip $hit. I like him as a fighter but his image is tarnished now. Hes not the “good guy” everyone used to think he was.

Hes in the same ballpark as hughs as far as image goes.

I think Hughes is in a whole other category on his own.I don’t think Diego ever had a “good guy” image,he WAS a focused fighter that lost his concentration one time.Nobody goes undefeated forever.Only time will tell if he’ll ever hold a title,but I for one am looking foward to seeing him fight again.If you’re saying Hughes is an arrogant prick, then we see eye to eye.

too bad his best strike of the fight came durring the wieght in! Dude,you lost,you blew the fight,get OVER it!!!!

all he said was he was too relaxed and he had the wrong strategy going into the fight, i don’t see those as being whiny excuses like you guys keep saying, honestly i think ufcmania could put up a post saying today gold rained from the sky and starving children everywhere were no longer hungry and there was world peace and some of you guys would still find something to complain about…he said he had a great camp and was in great shape and he even credited koscheck for a good fight, he said he’s gonna take it as a learning experience and can’t wait to get back in the octagon, i don’t see anything in there for you guys to be saying some of the shit you’re saying, if you don’t like the guy thats fine, but c’mon he’s not whining or making excuses, he’s trying to be professional about his first loss and to a guy he hates none the less and i think he’s showing a lot of class, i see no whining or excuses from him, again i don’t know how a guy can win 19 fights in a row in a sport where i don’t know of anyone other than fedor thats won that many in a row and then lose one damn fight and have a bunch of so called mma fans say he’s not a warrior anymore and he’s done and all this, you guys need to go back and watch the karo fight and the diaz fight and the florian fight and the gassaway fight and all tuf fights and the riggs fight and all the other 19 fights he won that had everyone on his dick again because some of you have a very short attention span and seem to forget that this guy is a serious dude and a badass fighter…nobody wins them all, your guys golden boy koscheck lost to drew ficket, DREW FICKET, gsp lost matt hughes lost cro cop lost chuck liddell lost everyone loses its part of the game, cut the guy a little slack for fucks sake…

Thats what happens when you play “patty cake” during the fight with KOS. Homeboy’s lackluster performance speaks for itself. I dont recall him even touching KOS’s face during the match.

tha spida, u and i think a lot alike…2 bad we can’t c eye to eye on Tito

I sure made alotta money from you Diego fans after that fight! Thank You All! Diego was & still is overrated. He’s a very good fighter but definately wont be able to hang with the likes of Hughes whom I cant stand or the ever-loved GSP. Diego needs to finish a few more fights before I’m willing to change my mind. He may be 19-1 but he has alot left to prove.

true he does have stuff 2 prove and yeah Hughes will handle him, but what if he goes 2 155?

well said spida!

Going undefeated is over rated really, I don’t honestly believe that you can be great at anything without first knowing what failure is. Diego could have said a bunch of bull shit and blamed his loss solely on the staff infection alone but he didn’t. I think it’s natural when things go wrong to anylize what happened in order to correct the mistakes. Mentioning an injury hasn’t faired to well for fighters in the past but at least he didn’t grab the mic and inform the whole crowd of his reasons at the moment of defeat. Just like the new bread of MMA fighters, he’s still young. I believe Sean Sherk went 19-1-1, I researched it a while ago, so don’t hold that too me, all i know that sherks only two loss came to Matt Hughes and GSP, Kos, and Diegoe have a long way to go both in their career just like GSP. These guys will find their niches.

He was too relaxed before the fight and didn’t fight with tenacity. His mind wasn’t where it needed to be — he wasn’t prepared to kill.
During the fight, there was some "mental block’ that he felt he was going to end the bout with one punch. He said it was some sort of daze. As a result, Sanchez let the fight get away from him. He feels that he beat himself and didn’t get beat by Koscheck.
Sanchez had a great camp and was in great shape for the bout. His timing was just off and he wasn’t himself. He feels good that he didn’t get knocked out or submitted. HE HAS NO EXCUSES.

He has no excuses, then what are the 3 paragraphs above about. If Sanchez could have been has tuff as he acted at the weigh in he might have won the fight or if he actually tried to do something during the fight he could have won. That was one of the worst fights I’ve see in awhile. That was less entertaining than the Sylvia vs Monson fight and that one was bad.

spida is the man. Agree completely.

spida is the man. Agree completely.

true dat

The Diego/Kos fight was horrible. I can’t believe people are waisting their time talking about it. Diego flopped, big time! He may have missed his opportunity – the division is stacked (and getting better). When Swick arrives it won’t take long before he takes the belt. Kos’s cockiness after the fight was ridiculous – the fight was the worst ever and he sucked too (just not as bad as Diego).
To you all you Hughes bashers – eat it. He’s gonna take “his” belt back in a matter of months. Who cares if you like him or not – he’s a fighter. He’s kicked EVERYONES ass. Don’t you watch mma for the fights??
Hughes, GSP, Fitch, Diego (if he fixes his problems), and hopefully Swick. What a great division!

Fighters need to watch GSP’s post fight interview and learn something from it.

Everyone will lose you cant be scared.

well i don’t care about all of you that are insulting Sanchez but he is talking too much. if i were him i would admit that i lost, shut up, and get back to training!! I really do want to see his next fight though. hope he brings back that warrior spirit.

It is BULLSHIT ! That fight was fixed!

It is BULLSHIT ! That fight was fixed!

Crack is too cheap.

diego is a tuf version of tito; a 1 dimensional ground and pound fighter. and they will always be outskilled by true athletes. koscheck is 10 times the wrestler diego is and that completely eliminated any chance he had at ground and pound. sure u could say he knocked out joe riggs, but come on. it was the knee that put him out, i give him credit for perfectly timing it tho because riggs was about 3 inches off the ground when he did it. but anyways i hope hughes and koscheck fight now and koscheck takes it.

I think BJ Penn won that fight

He needs to be in that LWGP and start taking names. Diego can defintely find himself in semi’s or the finals

Kos will not beat Hughes and Diego/Hughes would be a much better figt as long as the Yoga guy doesn’t show up there. Yoga guy will find himself in a lot of trouble against a healthy Hughes. Although Lytle put on a great show.

Diego is a great fighter, but like hughes he went away from his strengths and both hughes and diego had a false sense of there stand up abilities based on there last fight. Humiliating and learning for both of them, diego looked like he was too worried about koschecks wrestling and should have went for it anyway, he reversed koscheck at the end of round one. Koscheck was asked why he only had one take down attempt and he said something like there was no point to future take downs because he didn’t need to or something like that. I believe the real reason was because sanchez reversed him when he took him down and was afraid he would do it again and was just trying to out point diego for the win. Koscheck did a great job of playing it safe and out point diego but diego didn’t seem his aggressive self and was too worried about his perfect record.

Quote " I am where I am because I’m exciting and put it on the line, you are where you are because your boring" diego sanchez.
  I hate to say it but I actually thought koscheck was underestimated by most and had improved more than diego and thought it was a very good possibility than koscheck would win either a split or a majority decision. I also thought if serra had a chance it would be with a lucky punch not a submission but thought gsp would easily get the tko within 3 rounds. I really doubt anyone could have predicted the gsp/serra fight, or randy stunning big tim in the first few seconds of round one. Gonzaga has a real chance of catching cro cop early on if he just rushes in and suprises cro cop, after the gsp/serra fight nothing would suprise me in the ufc.

Quote " Gonzaga has a real chance of catching cro cop early on if he just rushes in and suprises cro cop, after the gsp/serra fight nothing would suprise me in the ufc.

Your right after last 2 events nothing would suprise me. Although I feel Cro Cop would never let him in and he has the speed to back that up.

“After the weigh-ins and then his post-fight whinning, "

where did you see post fight whining? i didn’t think he was at the post fight press conference and i’m sure he left the octagon before joe rogan could ask him anything…when was he whining???

He was whining in the first interview after the fight…the story that started this thread. Excuses in my book is the same as whining. And making some dumb a** comment like he’ll “let Kos have the win”…. he needs to step off his high horse and learn something from that fight.

Kos is a boring fighter and Diego will learn much from that fight. 19 straight wins in MMA is very good, who knows maybe 19 more straight wins is in the making. 38 – 1.

The “Nightmare” will be back.

Kos is a great wrestler. Ill give him that, but what he showed at UFC 69, it didnt look like he was much of anything. To me, he will still be the mop headed blond tool, that has a record of 11-1. Can Kos win 8 straight fights? Doubt it.

Kos won the fight buy points but he did not defeat Diego. Niether of thewm should ber proud of that fight especially Kos. He won the fight selfiously. He was not there to put on a show for the fans or proof he was the better warrior he did it stagically totally for himself. Yes Diego lost, yes it was not his best preformance but if you watch that fight again he pushed the pace much more then Kos. Kos based on that fight will never be champ, and is a much more boring fighter then Deigo the only thing he has going for him is his mouth. I can’t wait to see him fight GSP.

Sanchez came into that fight overconfident,that is where he went wrong.I have seen numerous interviews with him saying it is his destiny to retire an undefeated champ,now all he is is a loser.Out of everyone he could of lost to it had to be Koshcheck the fukin gollywog twat.I HATE KOSHCHECK,but he beat Diego in every aspect of that fight and deserved the unanimas desicion entirely.Its a shame when Diego pushed him at the wiegh ins that he didnt fall off the stage and land head first on a steel spike that just happened to be there,then they could of used his hair to fill a pillow and his body to feed peasants.Thats about the only use for the blond haired nignog waste of blood and organs.

Two clear and distinct thinks came out that fight. First, Koscheck cannot beat Diego Sanchez, even while stronger than Diego. Second, if Diego Sanchez was to evolve into a striker, he has to diversify his striking techniques.

If Diego would actually read this blog, I would suggest:
1) A cardiovascular program that included muscular endurance training. This would serve to bulk him up just slightly so that he would not get man-handled by guys like Koscheck or Alessio. Also improve muscle density and tenacity, thus improving endurance. Diego needs to be stronger.

2) Muay Thai and kick boxing. Diego needs to have better balance and repertoire of striking arsenal.

3) Evolve into new techniques as long it’s optimal to improvement. Try new things all the time. Stick to the ones that seem to work. Diego needs to try new things but stick to what has worked in the past.

QED

I believe Diego will never go lose again, especially to the judges. Hes a badass, and Will murder everyone infront of him for the next 10 fights. How much you want to bet? Koscheck doesnt stand a chance in a rematch, I got money on it.

Diego let kos “have” the win in the sense that instead of coming out ferociously like he usually does, he pretty much stood there. I agree however, it is his fault, and KOS rightfully deserves the win. However, I do feel that Sanchez is still a better fighter than KOS and that should they rematch in the future, KOS should be defeated as long as Diego sticks to his gameplan.

Diego will never beat kos again. Kos is a way better striker and Diego will always be wary of the take down. Not to mention who the hell wants to watch that snooze fest again.

all he said was he was too relaxed and he had the wrong strategy going into the fight, i don’t see those as being whiny excuses like you guys keep saying, honestly i think ufcmania could put up a post saying today gold rained from the sky and starving children everywhere were no longer hungry and there was world peace and some of you guys would still find something to complain about…he said he had a great camp and was in great shape and he even credited koscheck for a good fight, he said he’s gonna take it as a learning experience and can’t wait to get back in the octagon, i don’t see anything in there for you guys to be saying some of the shit you’re saying, if you don’t like the guy thats fine, but c’mon he’s not whining or making excuses, he’s trying to be professional about his first loss and to a guy he hates none the less and i think he’s showing a lot of class, i see no whining or excuses from him, again i don’t know how a guy can win 19 fights in a row in a sport where i don’t know of anyone other than fedor thats won that many in a row and then lose one damn fight and have a bunch of so called mma fans say he’s not a warrior anymore and he’s done and all this, you guys need to go back and watch the karo fight and the diaz fight and the florian fight and the gassaway fight and all tuf fights and the riggs fight and all the other 19 fights he won that had everyone on his dick again because some of you have a very short attention span and seem to forget that this guy is a serious dude and a badass fighter…nobody wins them all, your guys golden boy koscheck lost to drew ficket, DREW FICKET, gsp lost matt hughes lost cro cop lost chuck liddell lost everyone loses its part of the game, cut the guy a little slack for fucks sake…

I’ll tell you how a guy can win 19 fights in a row. Other than eeking out a decision against 4 or 5 half decent fighters in the UFC the rest of his fights were below cans ,I mean 0-1, 0-2 ,0-1 ,1-1, 38-61, 15- 17, 9-11, these are some of their records.(not much to be proud of beating these winners). Go to sherdog and look them up. Now I no Fedors the real deal but, he has a few easy wins also (0-2, 1-3, 0-1, 24-22, 7-10, 14-14, 0-2, 2-3). But the rest of his record are wins over some great fighters. A good record isn’t how many win you have, it’s who you beat. Now that Diego will be fighting the top guys, get used to him losing because it’s going to happen. Diego has no class whatsoever.

Diego ,like Matt Hughes will never be a good striker. They can practice all they want and their progress will be so slow you won’t even notice a difference. Striking has to be a fluid motion and these two are jerky as hell. BJ Penn and Rich Franklin are natural stikers.So is Kos but, he’s still a dickhead.

damn the dude should have asked him about the lw grand prix, i wonder if the staff infection would keep him out of that…either way i’m glad he wants to get back into the octagon asap, and it sounds like he’s taking this loss like a professional and it sounds like he’s gonna look forward instead of backward and thats good, i can’t wait to see who he’s fighting next and when…

He sounds like a proffesional??? What professional fighter makes that many excuses about one fight where he didn’t do a thing?

“Kos won the fight buy points but he did not defeat Diego. Niether of thewm should ber proud of that fight especially Kos. He won the fight selfiously.

Well said! Who would be proud of winning that fight? I sure wouldn’t. Neither of them fought so actually nobody deserved to win!

These are my comments about what things some say Diego should have done.

Nothing would have probably gone Diego’s way in that fight if, as he said, he ‘held back’. The only reason for this is because he might be a little nervous of Josh and the latter’s capabilities/impromvements.

During the fight, many were saying that Diego should have aimed for the ‘shoot’. Well, he did not. Probably out of his brain’s respect or fear of Josh’s wrestling tools which involve a lot of anti-shoot/takedown maneuvers. Diego may have also felt that Josh was accurate with his punches, enough to deliver a counter-shoot punch ala Liddell. In their short distance exchanges, Koshcheck made more profit than losses. This is an area where his training’s with boxer Dela Hoya really did not earn him well.

Koshcheck was also quicker on his feet. He could go in and out faster. Diego may have noticed that he can’t be aggressive against an opponent who is more athletic, able to reposition quick enough to avoid rushes. And able to kick or knee (via AKA).

Further aggravating Diego’s resolve is that in long distance fights, he can’t simply cope up. In their exchange of straights, jabs and overhands, Koscheck had the better and accurate punches. In kicking Diego may have realized or discovered that Josh seem to deliver dangerous kicks well – to either lower or upper body. This could have probably weakened Diego’s will to seek refuge, and be aggressive, in distance fighting.

So what’s left for Diego? It was to wait for a counterstrike opportunity – like making a move after being taken down or doing something after being grappled, whatever…
But Koscheck seemed to realize this as well. That’s why for most of the fight he just went in and out for short exchanges, and from a distance, just chose to pick his punches and kicks well.

Based on the physical and mental condition of both fighters during the match, I can’t think of a better strategy which Diego could have done to help him win. A scene like that in the weigh-in is not enough to overcome any mental negatives that were weighing on him. These appear to be more of doubts and nerves as gleaned by the totally opposite demeanor (about aggression) before and during the fight.
 And the inability to even attempt to be more aggressive in the latter rounds (or to sustain it, if there was any).

Koscheck for his part improved a lot since TUF. He added more arsenal to complement his athleticism, which was and is far more advanced than Diego’s.

This is an opportunity for Diego to re-tool mentally and physically.

I wanna see KOSCHECK vs HUGHES, 2 great wrestler going at it

Diego is dumb ass! He could have won that fight but instead he decided to stand and wait for that one big KO punch, which never came. Diego is known as the “nightmare” because of his intensity, and he’s relentless when he gets an opponent on the ground and pounds them.

Diego’s strength is on the ground. One would argue that he’s even better that Koscheck on the ground, because at the end of round one Koscheck took Diego to the ground and Sanchez immediately countered and got Koscheck’s back for a rear naked choke. But it was little too late.

Diego should’ve went for the shoot, but instead he decided to stand the entire 3 rounds. I mean chuck liddell is a great wrestler but he is famous for his striking, you never see him take any of his opponents on the ground.

The KO with riggs got to his head. I hope this was his wakeup call and he can get back to his winning ways. And do drugs.

THERE IS NO TEST FOR MUSHROOMS! That is such a stupid statement!

diego is a tuf version of tito; a 1 dimensional ground and pound fighter. and they will always be outskilled by true athletes. koscheck is 10 times the wrestler diego is and that completely eliminated any chance he had at ground and pound. sure u could say he knocked out joe riggs, but come on. it was the knee that put him out, i give him credit for perfectly timing it tho because riggs was about 3 inches off the ground when he did it. but anyways i hope hughes and koscheck fight now and koscheck takes it.

Are you kidding me? Koscheck blows and hughes will dominate him. That was the worst performance I’ve ever seen. Koscheck didn’t win $hit, he just happened to not suck as much as diego did.

He will “let Koscheck have the win” give me a g*d damn break, he can’t “let” Koscheck “have” anything. Koscheck TOOK the win, he freakin won, he BEAT DIEGO….Diego can try and believe he beat himself or whatever helps him wake up in the morning, but it doesn’t sound like he learn a damn thing from this loss. His freakin Myspace page has is record as 20-0. Can we say denial? After the weigh-ins and then his post-fight whinning, I think he hasn’t learned anything and will NEED to lose more fights until he can grow from the experience.

I was one happy man when I heard that Sanchez got beat. I hate this guy. U never beat yourself. Other people’s fist in your face usually is what beats you. Sanchez is a fucken tool.

I don’t know how you guys can dog Sanchez without dogging Kos too. I was at the fight, and happen to be a huge Sanchez fan. I unimpressed with both fighters, however, I don’t see how this was a “fight” at all. I think Diego’s quote about the knock-out was probably truthful. If you remember he trained with De La Hoya in Puerto Rico before the fight, and he attempted only a few takedowns, which had no way of working on a vastly superior takedown artist such as Kos, but also, Kos didn’t do anything either. He pussy-footed around and scored fights. I’m disappointed. It proved that Kos came into the fight knowing that Sanchez would never pursue a full-fleged stand up attack, but he also knew that had he taken Sanchez down there was know way he could have survived. Kos is a better wrestler, but is not even half the “grappler” that Diego is. Just watch the first round again, Kos took Sanchez down with ease, and in a matter of seconds Sanchez flipped it. Bottom line, if Kos uses his ability on the ground to win, He wouldn’t have won, Diego has to fight his fight, and unfortunately he didn’t do that, he waited and there wasn’t 12 rounds to win, I wish De La Hoya could have reitterated that.

I was really surprised about Diego…Especially when I heard he had been sparring w/De la Hoya.. But what fuk…Diego looked really slow when he stood tot-toe with KOS!!?? KOS definitely out boxed him.

I will be reall curioud to see Diego fight again because I still think he is one of the BEST MMA fighters out there.

look dude, im gonna need you to leave the weed to me. let me be the f—cked up one.

See him knock out “Da Diesel” joe riggs

“Nightmare” is an animal he beat kos before and wasnt feelin the fight at 69. be good to see some “bad blood” and see these two fight again, be good for TV and entertainment. plus i want to see who knocks who or who submits who…in the 1st round

leave diego alone…hell learn from this…and hell be champ one day youll all see..he just got sick and wasnt himself. Hell b back garenteed.

Yes… there’s no test for ’shrooms. And yes, Sanchez defeated himself. And yes, he will be back.

dieago is a looser the unsportsmenlike nonsense that he pulled at the weigh ins was bullshit I don’t know why they would premote that sort of behavior he is an ediot I don’t know why dana white allows that kind of behavior from his athletes why the hell was koscheck gonna be suspended for that incident he did not do anything

What he said is basically meaningless and only has political value. A value which is basically equivalent to nothing. We’ll just have to see if he finds that urgent frenzy, that “edge”, again now that he’s been kicked off of Mount Olympus.

Also I’m not surprised that he lost to the fighter he did. I think Josh Koscheck is an effective contrast as far as style and physical talents are concerned. I think Koscheck is much more of a bulldog and a wrestler, with a more powerful lower body than Sanchez.
