Diego Sanchez Pays Respect to Daniel Cormier

UFC veteran Diego Sanchez has gone to Instagram to share his thoughts on the light heavyweight champion.

Daniel Cormier currently wields the UFC light heavyweight belt. The fighter will be looking to defend it in the main event of this weekend’s UFC 210 in an epic title fight rematch against Anthony “Rumble” Johnson.

With the main event only days away, fighters are beginning to toss out their thoughts on the two competitors. For one, UFC veteran Diego Sanchez had plenty of great things to say about the champion over Instagram.

UFC 210 goes down April 8 inside the KeyBank Center in Buffalo, New York.

See Sanchez’s remarks on Cormier in the post below:

@dc_mma is with out a doubt my favorite champion and fighter in the @ufc why???so many reasons he defies the average age of a fighters prime that inspires me! He carries himself with dignity & respect! He's family man!! A kids wrestling coach! a predator in the cage he comes forward and fights doesn't run from any battle! Good sense of humor, a great fight analyst second to @dominickcruz ??!!! he's the best in the world right now! #atruechampion can't wait to see him do battle this weekend I like @anthony_rumble also a very dangerous guy but D.C. is the champ and you gotta beat the champ to be the champ! I know everybody will bring up my teammate @jonnybones I support him thru thick and thin that's what team is all about! I'm just saying the champ is doing a amazing job in and out the cage he's a inspiration to me and millions keep it up Daniel!
