anyone hear of how he is doing? he did show a lot of heart against Penn but damn... this only shows how scary Penn is getting and easily cementing himself as the greatest of all time. he is in my opinion the great LW who ever graced the Octagon.
"He took some big shots tonight. Stayed in there... hung in there and I think Herb Dean did a fantastic job in the first round -- it's not often you get a shot to fight for the title and he was watching close and let that thing continue. Diego was ok and did recover and I think Diego showed a lot of heart tonight. He got busted up but he hung in there and kept coming forward. He's about as busted up as I've ever seen a guy." -Dana White
UFC President Dana White commented on Diego Sanchez's health after losing to the reigning lightweight champion B.J. Penn. Doctors called an end to the bout at 2:37 in the fifth round as Sanchez's forehead was split wide open from a head kick Penn had landed.
White spoke briefly with Sanchez inside the Octagon before he was taken to the hospital but was unsure of his current health status. On the surface, Sanchez suffered a split lip, bruised face and Abe Wagner-esk gash on his forehead
I bet Diego has some good pain killers, if not then I really feel bad for him. I just think the really messed up part is how it is only 1 side of his face that is wrecked.
That pic is classic. BJ should have that framed and hang in on his wall
