Diego Sanchez and Clay Guida stole the show at the Ultimate Fighter 9 Finale last night – not an easy feat considering the other amazing bouts on the card. In the first round Diego was absolutely slaughtering Guida, boxing him up against the cage and landing a direct kick to Guida’s face that no doubt knocked the taste out of his mouth.

Diego Sanchez has dropped down to the 155 lightweight class and will face Joe Stevenson at UFC 95 in London, England.
During The Ultimate Fighter Season 1 I didn’t like Diego Sanchez. He had this certain cockiness about him, but they also made him look very unintelligent during the season. Sanchez proved that he was in it to win it during the show and came out on top with his win over Kenny Florian in the Ultimate Finale. Diego’s last fight was a win over Luigi Fioravanti at The Ultimate Finale 7.
