“All you little people out there that are Nick Diaz groupies: I beat him then, I’ll beat him again. I don’t know why you guys say this crap. ‘Oh, that was a long time ago! Nick Diaz has gotten so much better.’ You know what, man?! Everybody’s gotten better! That’s what happens! … I commend Nick Diaz for everything he’s done, and he did take it to B.J., but the B.J. that fought Nick Diaz was not the B.J. that fought me. I wish I could have fought that B.J… The guy is the most negative guy in the sport, and I would love to put a whooping on him again. I’m still [the] Diego Sanchez who can take down Nick Diaz and his ‘blanky’ legs.”

-UFC on Fuel TV headliner Diego Sanchez talks to MMAWeekly.com about former foe and polarizing welterweight Nick Diaz.

Penick’s Analysis: Harsh words from Sanchez, and he may eventually get an opportunity to back that up. If Diaz doesn’t retire, he won’t be back in the UFC until 2013, and depending on what Sanchez does in the cage this year, his could be a name that works for a Diaz bout next year. He’s got more important things ahead of him this week, however, with a bout against Jake Ellenberger that will either bring him to the next level in the welterweight division, or keep him firmly in the middle of the 170 lb. pack.
