    Glad to see he's back and in great form. Loved that he utilized his great stand-up techniques, but got him with 'The Nightmare's' Ground & Pound! To me, it was the best and most exciting fight of the night. Team Sanchez all the way babeee!

    I agree, great to see The Nightmare back and always improving. His standup was phenomenal in this fight and you could tell Luigi was surprised by it. I hope there's another rematch between him and Josh Koshcheck in the future, that could well be won in Diego's favor. Great job Deigo, keep training and doing the things you're doing!

    He's so mercilous. I watched the fight for the finalists and when he was up against Luigi you could see the bloodlust in his eyes. If I was fighting him -and they could fight against women- I would've had to ask for a hammer for protection. Great job though. He's gorgeous :3
