Diego Sanchez believes his May 8 fight against Donald Cerrone will be “Cowboy’s” retirement after he beats him up.<\/p>\n

The fight is expected to serve as Sanchez’s retirement fight<\/a>. With that, he’s very motivated to beat up his former teammate in Cerrone.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou\u2019re just going to see me at my best, and I don\u2019t know what Cowboy is going to come, but you\u2019re going to see me at my best,\u201d Sanchez told Mike Swick on the \u201cReal Quick with Mike Swick\u201d podcast <\/a>(h\/t MMAJunkie<\/a>). “I\u2019m going in there with everything that I have, all my skills, everything that I\u2019ve learned over the course of this career and at the end of the career, really sharpening that blade. I\u2019m going to take care of myself, and I\u2019m going to move correctly.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m going to move in there so smooth. We\u2019ll make this sh*t look easy,” Sanchez continued. “Cowboy, he might be planning on finishing out those five fights he signed when he signed the Conor McGregor deal, but as I\u2019m ready for retirement, Cowboy\u2019s ass better get ready for retirement too. He don\u2019t know, but this is probably going to be his retirement fight, too.\u201d<\/p>\n

Diego Sanchez is well aware that many people are writing him off and they expect him to be part of Cerrone’s highlight reel<\/a>. However, Sanchez says he is super motivated to win his retirement fight and beat up Cerrone after he talked a bunch of trash.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo I\u2019m super excited for this Cowboy fight, and I\u2019m motivated as hell. I want to go out there and kick his ass,” Sanchez said. “I want to take it to him, I want to bring the fight to him. When you\u2019re training for your retirement fight, you just take sh*t more seriously because you know this is going be your last time that you make the walk.\u201d<\/p>\n

Who do you think will win, Diego Sanchez or Donald Cerrone<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
