If your going to quote what someone said. It has to be exactly what they said word for word. Young man? He doesn't say that, nowhere in there did he say young man. What he had said was " young Diego Sanchez"

It's Weird how Diego Sanchez was one of the fighters that got me hooked on MMA. A lot of people don't even know who he is but they know who Nick Diaz is, feel bad for him really. He didn't win fights the crowd won the fight.

I'm rooting for you Diego. Not only because I've been a huge fan of yours since I've first seen you fight in the UFC but also because I know what it feels like to lose control of one self and wake up at the bottom again. Wish you the best of luck to you in this fight with our brother Melendez. ..the rest of your MMA career and most importantly your personal life. You make us latinos proud. Go Diego!!!!
