Sanchez versus McGregor will always be in the ether! HMU in the dm I might Have a bone for you.“

Diego Sanchez has been with the UFC, since 2005. He has the longest uninterrupted tenure in the UFC’s active roster. No other fighters has been involved in more ‘Fight of the Year’ bouts than Diego Sanchez has. With a record of 19 wins and 13 losses in the UFC, Sanchez is coming off a loss against Jake Matthews at UFC 253. Since his fight against Cerrone, is expected to be his last, he will be looking forward to going out with a bang.

His opponent, Donald Cerrone, on the other hand, is another long serving fighter in the UFC. He has the most wins and finishes in the history of the UFC. However, he has hit a rough patch of late. With no wins in his last five matches (4 Losses and 1 NC), Cerrone might call time on his career soon, as well.
