The fight seemed set up. Either that or Sanchez was high. The dude pretty much jumped around the entire fight, jumped back and forth and PRETENDED like he was going to do something. What's the point? If you aren't going to try, why show up? But, they will probably be the TUF coaches for season 7. I can hear Dana White now. "These guys really hate eachother..."

Wow, that does make sense. Dana White thinks that way.

nope... i kept saying that... diego looked and moved like a boxer... he never got hit hard, had great defense, but didnt fight like himself at all.. the training with de la hoya killed him in that fight... its NOT boxing

It looked to me like Diego Sanchez was making a classic rookie boxer mistake. It seemed like he was throwing arm punches. Not every time, but most of the time it just did not look like he had his body in his punches. Kos, by contrast, seemed to really get his weight behind the few shots that connected. But, they were both too timid and afraid to lose. It made the fight boring. For me, it was the first time that Diego bored me.

Here we go again, a conspiracy post. What exactly did Kos do in this fight? Land 3 punches in the round to Diego's 1? Kos just backed up as fast as he could when Diego feinted. I never thought I would boo a fight in person, but I basically booed for the last 2 rounds. The fact that both fought not to lose was lame. Kos got booed not cause he won, but cause of the crappy performance by both. If Diego had won, he would have gotten booed too. This was considered the main event to the people in attendance and we just got finished seeing a war in the Huerta/Garcia fight, then we get subjected to that. The fights in the stands during the Sanchez fight were more interesting than the fight in the cage.

O man that Huerta/Garcia fight was great, I liked that one alot.....I even said here at my house when Diego and Kos was coming out, They better bring it after those dudes did what they did or people will be mad.

Props to Garcia even though this isn't a thread on them LoL that guy was great and Huerta too GREAT FIGHT !

That was a great fight. It is weird to have the boring fight sandwitched between two truly classic fights like Huerta-Garcia and GSP-Serra.

Flying Triangle Choke · 04-08-2007, 03:05 AM

Boring fight indeed. I was expecting it to be like their fight on the show. One thing I noticed...Diego needs to get back to his ground and pound style, and get out of this wanna-be boxer mode.

I agree. Diego Sanchez should only use boxing to set up a takedown and then do what he does so well on the ground. Sanchez is a state champion wrestler and a gaidujutsu black belt. He has some good submissions. It just seemed to me that he would have went for TD after TD on Kos. The boxing was a bad mistake. I hope he learns from it.

Seems like both guys wanted to prove their striking was better, and Kos happened to be the one who improved more.

I totally agree there. The fight was boring and too safe but as long as the greaser lost I was happy. I was expecting a war similar to the Huerta fight.

WarDawg · 04-08-2007, 08:22 AM

Nothing like sunday mornings armchair quarterbacks. Kos fought a boreing but smart fight. His pace was determined by DS . But DS pace was stopped and slowed dramaticly when he felt the pop in Kos's punching . He got nailed by some hard shots. I really think it surprised him totally. Kos was ready to counter punch and sprawl the whole fight. He showed great quickness in slideing back away from DS in his few forward scurries toward Kos. DS tried but couldn't get the job done. Your correct it was a slow fight. Kos did what he needed to do to move up the ladder. He did that. DS just took a small step back.Not a big step .He's a very good fighter.But style makes fights. Kos had speed.Speed is a great neutralizer . DS couldn't do nothing with it or with a fighter that wouldn't stand in front of him. Kos did what GSP did to Matt Hughes. Stayed away from his power and refused to get taken down. While GSP finnished the job at hand , Kos did not. But same game plan or similar was used. KOS did a good job on getting the first loss for DS. But this should make DS a better fighter. He ought to now know he isn't superman and can be beat and that should make him hungery and train with a different mind set and move up the ladder toward the belt. IMO WarDawg

Yup, not an exciting fight.

But a CLEAR win for Koscheck.

Greenman · 04-08-2007, 09:12 AM

I was actually pretty impressed with Koscheks fight, he out struck Sanchez easily, kept his game plan, and used the fact that he knew Diego couldn't take him down, knowing he could shoot on Diego anytime to win.

I wasn't even that upset about the end show antics, especially after the weigh in crap. The look on Diegos face ws priceless.

I hate when people say **** like this. You're accusing two contenders and maybe the UFC of fixing fights, based on absolutely nothing but your own twisted opinion. Or maybe Diego was on recreational drugs when he virtually knows he's going to be tested? Man, cut it out with that crap.

Harms · 04-08-2007, 10:59 AM

At least we know there will be a rematch since UFC seems to love them. I think losing this fight was the best thing that could have happened to Diego. Hopefully it will give him some perspective and humble him a bit. I'm still a huge Diego fan, just a little disappointed he didn't press the action.

The only problem with that is Diego never went for any takedown. And, Kos only did one takedown. Neither of them wanted to go to the ground. It was a mistake for both of them. It was a boring fight. Kos won. But, like GSP said to Matt Hughes, "(Kos) I am not impressed with your performance." The same goes for Diego Sanchez. This was the worst fight for Sanchez in that his fights tend to never be boring. So, even if Diego won, we would all be saying this fight stunk on ice. And, I am a Diego fan. He lost and he deserved to lose.

I think that plays into it. Diego may have taken Kos too lightly and not trained more for it. Maybe he was looking beyond Koscheck to that dream title match. Well, I heard that Diego considered himself the uncrowned champion. If that were ture, then he just lost that (phantom) title to Kos.

i was watching a video on Sherdog and Sherdog was interviewing Josh and he kept it cool, he didn't talk trash, well just a little bit, but i heard that Dana was not impressed with the fight(it said in the video), who cares, he beat Diego and that is his night not yours.

Diego and Kos fought a boring fight, and Dana White is now in a position to get rid of the boring fighters. Diego, in his six UFC fights, has had two fairly boring fights. Kos was just turning his boring fights into eciting fights, but this is a set back despite the win. Both of them might get dumped to undercrad status or maybe be forced to fight on an UFN rather than a PPV for their next few fights. That is the power Dana White has. Diego might be particularly hurt by this fight because his contract will be ending soon. It's not a good bargaining position to come off a boring fight.

Yes indeed that was a lame display. To me it looked like boxing sparring 101, you know the kind of thing they show you the first day of boxing class.

Diego was just too damn passive. You cant just wait around and waltz with your opponent and wait for a mistake. Hell, your opponent did his homework, he's there to knock your head off. What makes you think he's going to let you in. If anything Josh kept Diego's right hand occupied with his left arm stuck out there the whole fight. Hell if that's all it takes to beat Diego let me dance with him. Needless to say I was not impressed with Kos either. Neither fighter displayed any of they're talents. I should have just stayed home and watched my locked gun cabinet with all of my guns loaded. So much talent in the octogon and such a waste of time.
