In an interview with MMAWeekly, Sanchez addresses Diaz supporters.
All you little people out there that are Nick Diaz groupies: I beat him then, I’ll beat him again, Sanchez told MMAWeekly Radio Weekend Edition. I don’t know why you guys say this crap. ‘Oh, that was a long time ago! Nick Diaz has gotten so much better.’ You know what, man?! Everybody’s gotten better! That’s what happens!
I commend Nick Diaz for everything he’s done, and he did take it to B.J., but the B.J. that fought Nick Diaz was not the B.J. that fought me. I wish I could have fought that B.J.
However, Sanchez has a fight scheduled with with Jake Ellenberger at UFC on Fuel TV Wed night (see video below).
A big win in this fight I think (will) put me in line for a shot at (Carlos Condit). That’s what I would want, said Sanchez. Get that interim belt and fight ‘GSP.’
I’m not looking ahead of Jake Ellenberger. He’s a champion.
Still, Sanchez wants a Diaz fight.
The guy is the most negative guy in the sport, and I would love to put a whooping on him again, Sanchez said. I’m still the Diego Sanchez who can take down Nick Diaz and his ‘blanky’ legs.
