From ‘Nightmare’ To ‘Dream’ To… Diego Sanchez Changes His Nickname … Again

Diego Sanchez has always been, and will always be, a fan favorite whenever he steps inside the octagon due to his heart. No matter how much punishment he absorbs or energy he expends, you can never count Sanchez out of a fight. The Ultimate Fighter alumni made his way into the octagon as “The Nightmare” for his nickname, but that would only last a couple years before he made it a switch to the more positive “Dream”.

Now, ahead of his fight with Al Iaquinta at “UFC Fight Night 108” in April, Sanchez has undergone yet another nickname change. Introducing to you… Diego “Lionheart” Sanchez:

“THE NIGHTMARE IS NO MORE!!!!!! “Diego Lionheart Sanchez” era starts right now 2/26/2017 there is no going back it is finished”
