WOW!
I am a huge Diego Sanchez fan and now I am convinced that he will become the Rocky Marciano (undefeated boxing career - 49W,0L,0D, 43 KO's) of the MMA world. Diego currently has 19 wins with no losses in his MMA career and sets out to make that an even 20 wins with an unblemished record after fighting Josh Koscheck at UFC 69 on April 7.
I am convinced that Diego can achieve this undefeated record because of his intensity, intelligence in the fight and now and probably most important, the people he chooses to train with that can help him evolve as a bulletproof mixed martial artist.
Before Oscar de la Hoya, Diego Sanchez was set to train with Pride FC Heavyweight Champion and pound for pound toughest fighter in the world, Fedor Emilianenko before Diego went to battle with Karo Parisyan at Ultimate Fight Night 6.
Unfortunately, Diego did not get the chance to train with Fedor as Fedor himself stated in a recent interview for his fans at his website that he did not train with Sanchez:
Q - Young undefeated UFC fighter Diego Sanchez trained with you. What do you think of him and of George St. Pierre?
FE - We never trained together, but I saw his fights. I think he is a good, promising fighter.
Training with Oscar is sure to help Diego improve upon his stand-up skills and give him the added technical & psychological advantage going into his fight against Kos... as if he really need it anyway. It's great to see good fighters doing everything they can to become great by constantly striving to reach their own undiscovered MMA potential so expect Diego Sanchez to impress us once again and again, and again, and...

Fedor has denied to ever trained with Diego and I don't remember Diego talking about training with him. Only talking about how he was going to. Maybe it fell through?
ReplyDeleteFedor said that he had seen tape of Diego though, and complimented him.
Good catch Sebastian.
ReplyDeleteSanchez was set to go to Fedor's training session however, Fedor did not train with Sanchez.
I verified this on Fedor's site in a recent interview he had with his fans.
The translated question (from Russian ) is here:
Q - Young undefeated UFC fighter Diego Sanchez trained with you. What do you think of him and of George St. Pierre?
FE - We never trained together, but I saw his fights. I think he is a good, promising fighter.
I'll make the adjustment in the post to be factually accurate.
Thank you!
