If I were a superhero, there would be absolutely no sequels. I would fix everything imaginable the first time around, none of this coming back nonsense. Diego Sanchez reminds me of a guy that likes to get everything done at once. So it was no surprise that on the UFC 107 'Countdown' show, he created a hybrid cartwheel. Walking around San Diego, pumping his fists at strangers screaming 'Yes' just wasn't enough. He infused his 'Yes' chant with a cartwheel just because he could. It's like the MMA version of 'two-in-one' shampoo/conditioner. But before he became the person we all know and love, he was once a struggling MMA fighter getting ready for his first amateur bout. Fortunately for your retinas, we have now have this fight on video compliments of YouTube and ChinoV. Big thanks to Yotam for the tip.

wow, pretty low budget, and very low key. It's nice to have that for fighters to get used to the fight before a big show. In jersey the amateur fights are a pretty big deal, in an AC casino usually, tons of people there, full cage, walkout music, the whole deal... lotta pressure

This fight took place in 2000 or 2001, a Decade makes a big difference when it comes to regulating and sanctioning Ammy fights.

A decade didn't make a diffrerence in terms of his appearance - is it just me or does he look exactly the same?

This fight was around aug/sep 2001 in Las Cruces, NM in some school gym. It was a ghetto event called Mano a mano. I went to watch my training partner Jorge Ortiz (Bellator fight). They needed more fighters so I just did it. Crazy experience, it was something I wouldnt recommend to others. We used our own gloves, they had no EMT, or medical personel. It was oldschool, open mat, elbows, knees to down opponents, etc.

Jorge knocked his guy out with an Igor Vochanchin/Mark Kerr style K.O. The guy was on all 4's, & he landed knees to the top of his head & the guy was out cold. Nobody knew what the fuck to do.

Its good to see Ammy MMA fights come a long way from before.
