| Former Lightweight title challenger Sanchez is eyeing one final title tilt: |
Regarded as two of the most popular Lightweight's in recent times, 'Raging' Al Iaquinta will battle against
The Ultimate Fighter season 1 winner Diego 'The Dream' Sanchez in the co-main event of UFC Fight Night Nashville. Sanchez has a phenomenal following due to his willingness to 'stand and bang' and his warrior esque mentality, and holds career defining victories over Jorge Santiago, Jim Miller, Martin Kampmann, Joe Riggs, former PRIDE FC Lightweight champ and Grand Prix winner Takanori Gomi, Stockton's Nick Diaz and a knockout win over Kenny Florian. New York wrestler Iaquinta, has himself beaten Kevin Lee, Ryan Couture, the son of UFC Hall of Famer Randy Couture, and in his last stint in the octagon picked up a decision win over Jorge Masvidal, and his appearance against Sanchez will be his first fight since 2015. A black belt in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, Sanchez has scored an impressive 9 submission wins, thus may force a cautious wrestling display from Iaquinta. In my opinion, the more experienced and active Sanchez will take home the victory against Al Iaquinta.
Diego Sanchez via split decision.
