Diego Sanchez promises to put "Pedal to the Metal" against Matt Hughes
Posted on September 5, 2011, 08:33 AM by Anton GurevichFormer UFC Lightweight title challenger Diego "Nightmare/Dream" Sanchez promises an exciting encounter with Matt Hughes in the co-main event of UFC 135 later this month. Twenty-nine year old Sanchez will look to extend his two-fight winning streak in the UFC Welterweight division, with sights on getting himself close to the title shot mix. In his last bout, Sanchez defeated Martin Kampmann via a controversial Unanimous Decision, that also earned the Greg Jackson product his fourth Fight of the Night award inside the Octagon.

i now realize that this guy is the mexican justin timberlake... even in his way of speaking!! they should change nightmare for that
Matt Hughes in his prime would have eaten diego like a mean dreamcatcher. Unfortunately gotta say I've got Diego taking this by pretty fast TKO. Matt's chin isn't what it used to be...
I don't understand your analogy about the dreamcatcher, but it probably is likely that hughes in his prime would have won.
Now, probably not.
Diego gets a second "vag_na" on his foerhead
Dreamcatchers are meant to catch bad dreams/nightmares (Diego's nickname), kind of like a fly in a spider web.
Oh ahaha lol.
I was like "dreamcatchers being edible?"
he pulled out of the fight btw.
I don't know, I got Hughes taking this one but whenever Diego fights its usually a pretty good show. If he explodes like he did with Guida that would be awesome.
YES!
Neither Hughes nor Diego have the skills to compete in the UFC anymore at a high level.
Diego's striking is terrible .. run in throw 2 or 3 wild strikes and go for a takedown (wash, rinse, repeat) .. if Hughes can't beat him he is indeed washed up (IMO)
someone get this guy some valium j/k
Diego Sanchez will retire Matt Hughes.
Diego is hurt :(
