Diego Sanchez Fires Back at Fans Calling For Him to Retire
By FCF Staff
Diego Sanchez suffered a first round, KO at the hands of Al Iaquinta last weekend, but the 35 year-old vet has no intention of retiring, despite some calls for him to do so.
Sanchez faced Iaquinta in the co-main event of UFC Fight Night 108, which took place in Nashville, TN. The former TUF winner was rocked by a right hand not long into the fight, and then sent to the deck unconscious, from a follow up punch. Sanchez has been stopped twice now in his last three fights, but the loss to Iaquinta marked the first time in his career that he was knocked out.
Since the defeat, Sanchez posted the statement below, whereby the lightweight says he will continue to compete:
