For now, Diego Sanchez must keep those thoughts at bay for he returns to the Octagon in an undercard bout at UFC 253 this Saturday on Yas Island in Abu Dhabi. Sanchez will take on Australia’s Jake Matthews in a welterweight clash. It is important to mention here that Sanchez has four fights remaining on his latest UFC contract and this is the first one.
Speaking to the media on Yas Island ahead of his fight, Diego Sanchez revealed that he is planning on pulling the curtains on his pro-fighting career after the expiry of his current contract with the UFC, and if that’s the case, he wants his last dance inside the Octagon to be one that people remember for ages. Diego Sanchez said that he is looking for a legendary fight to cap off his career inside the Octagon.
Diego Sanchez named a few high-profile opponents he’d ideally like to face in the last few fights of his career and the names include future hall of famer Nick Diaz, whom Sanchez defeated by decision in 2005, as well as “The Notorious” Conor McGregor.
