In Saturday’s UFC Fight Night 120: Norfolk co-main event, TUF 1 winner Diego Sanchez returned to his division home in the UFC’s welterweight weight-class.
Things definitely didn’t go his way.
Instead of making a triumphant return to his original home that saw him defeat the likes of Nick Diaz, among other notable fighters, Sanches would get knocked out in round 1, in a highlight reel elbow K.O. that will live throughout the ages.
After the fight, UFC veterans and professional fighters took to Instagram with their reactions.
