Diego Sanchez vs B.J. Penn

[vegasrocks]

This Saturday Diego Sanchez will be taking on B.J. Penn in the octogon at the FedEx Forum in Las Vegas for the right to be the UFC lightweight championship.

"Over the years, I've tried to find myself, tried to find out who I really was," Sanchez said. "I ended up coming full circle, a circle that took me back to that street fighter I started as: Diego Sanchez, from 'Burque,' New Mexico, fighting on the streets."

"I'm going into this fight thinking, 'B.J. Penn has a got a knife in his pocket, I've got to take him out,'" Sanchez said. "That's the mentality. I'm not thinking about maybe going after him the second round. I'm thinking I've got to take him out before he takes me out.

"When I flip that switch, there's no looking back. I don't see the crowd. I just see B.J. Penn in my cage."

I guess that mentality is what makes him so good at what he does.

This fight looks to be a good one.
