Diego Sanchez Answers Demian Maia’s Call
When asked by Dan Hardy who he’d like to fight next during his post-fight speech, Maia said a bout with Sanchez could work.
“I wanna have two more fights. Of course, it’s my contract. Then after that, I have a lot of things that I want to do and retire. Diego Sanchez is somebody that has been calling me out for years and it’s like a veteran fight. Maybe you know, let’s see. If people like it, I can do.”
Sanchez is aware of the challenge and took to his Instagram account to respond.
“Let’s go [Dana White]. I didn’t get the go on the [Anthony Pettis] fight. I have paid my dues, only you know the truth of my last outing. Let’s put it together Jan 18th in Vegas!!! two legends want to dance let us dance!”
