Rib Posted August 28, 2009 Report Share Posted August 28, 2009 No doubt Diego is a fireball and totally exciting to watch. How do we all feel about his Tony Robbins YES chant as he makes his way to the octagon? is it Bad A** or is it just straight goofy? Sounds like he will be taking on Penn for the title, the only question remaining seems to be where and when: http://bumpyknuckle.com/2009/08/28/diego-sanchez-title-shot-likely-coming-in-november/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
armbarvictim Posted August 28, 2009 Report Share Posted August 28, 2009 He can be as positive as he wants. Ain't gonna help him against Penn. But nonetheless a positive attitude is the first step to greatness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But nonetheless a positive attitude is the first step to greatness. Well said. I don't think Diego is as strange as people make him out to be. Yes he's a little weird but he's really into the whole mental cultivation, visualization etc. He seems pretty normal to me in interviews away from the octogon. Diego "YES! Im gonna be the new champ"...when BJ retires:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mtx Posted August 28, 2009 Report Share Posted August 28, 2009 I just see it as goofy and dont see it as a positive attitude at all. Diego always had this kind of mojo. First he did his "ninja stuff" with all the crazy faces, he lost twice in a row, decided the ninja stuff wouldnt work anymore so he changed it for the YES! entrance. I dont buy it and i dont like it. But thats just me and im a bit byased since I really dont like Diego. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptainSuperman Posted August 28, 2009 Report Share Posted August 28, 2009 Ah, reminds me of Howard Dean when he was running for president. 'Were gonna take this, this, and take back the White House!

Rib Posted August 28, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 28, 2009 Well my vote is that he's got a few lose screws!! Which may in fact be the reason he's got a shot at BJ's belt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RollingStoned Posted August 28, 2009 Report Share Posted August 28, 2009 I personally love the 'yes' thing but... I'm a BJ fan... Sooo you know where I think that's gonna get Diego... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stripling_Warrior Posted August 28, 2009 Report Share Posted August 28, 2009 For me the Yes thing drives me crazy. I really don't like deigo sometimes on how he acts sometimes but I think hes a great fighter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Little_Kang Posted August 28, 2009 Report Share Posted August 28, 2009 I think if Diego needs all this positive movitation help from someone that he isn't very confident in himself and his skills. That doubt will always be with him no matter how much positive feedback he gets from Robbins or how much stevia he takes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StompGrind Posted August 28, 2009 Report Share Posted August 28, 2009 I think Diego's Yes!!! is funny as hell. He really believes he's the engine that could. I think I can, I think I can, I think I can His pre-fight staredown is pretty funny too. When he fought Guida he looked like he had Royce+Wanderlei's stare down on crack. I think he even told Guida your dead from across the cage then immediately did his calm yoga thing and then the prayer in the name of the father the son and the holy ghost with his hand. Guida your dead...Praise the lord. LMAO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joshdfs Posted August 28, 2009 Report Share Posted August 28, 2009 I would like to know why everyone hates on Rashad because he is "****y" but everyone loves Diego because he is "confident"? I personally can't stand the little **** and can't wait for BJ to further prove that Diego is just a flash in the pan! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I personally can't stand the little **** and can't wait for BJ to further prove that Diego is just a flash in the pan! They're both ****y and annoying, the only reason more people like Diego over Rashad is his style. He goes balls to the wall and keeps up a fast pace, whereas Rashad, dances around like a fairy till he eats a straight left! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not that I love Rashad or anything, just curious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Def got a chuckle out of me!! I think some of it also has to do with how Rashad dances around like a geniune Jack A** when he wins his matches compared to most others that simply celebrate with genuine joy!

1fan4fun Posted August 29, 2009 Report Share Posted August 29, 2009 Diego Sanchez sounds very Spanish. I don't know if he speaks any Spanish, but I'd love to see him come out to the ring, yelling "S?!" "S?!" "S?!" "S?!" "S?!" "S?!" "S?!" "S?!" "S?!" "S?!" "S?!" "S?!" "S?!" "S?!" "S?!" "S?!" "S?!" "S?!" "S?!" "S?!" "S?!" IMO, it would be WAY more epic than simply saying "Yes!" "Yes!" "Yes!" The power of positive thinking won't be enough to handle BJ Penn though. BJ is going to slap him around like an ugly kid from Hilo, who stole his bike. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not cropping on the guy for wanting to better himself, but it sometimes comes off as over the top, or even phony. Either way, he's a badass and deserves his shot.

brewster Posted September 1, 2009 Report Share Posted September 1, 2009 Any news on what network it might be? Probably not eh? Either way I can't miss this fight... No' date=' no news yet, Dana apparently had a meeting yesterday. UFC president Dana White said a third event was in the works for November, featuring a headlining bout between B.J. Penn and Diego Sanchez. The event’s broadcast platform was neither a pay-per-view nor a Spike TV event. “Wait and see boys... if I can pull this one off,” White told reporters. At the post-fight press conference for UFC 102 in Portland, Ore., White told MMAWeekly.com that he was flying to L.A. on Monday for another meeting with an undisclosed network. When asked if he was finalizing a deal, White said, “I hope so... I really hope so.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
