Sanchez confident ahead of fight with Penn

Diego ‘The Nightmare’ Sanchez is confident ahead of his lightweight title fight with UFC champion BJ Penn.

Sanchez is confident he is the best fighter in the lightweight division.

“From the moment I stepped down to 155, I knew in my heart I was the best 155er in the world. I am still in the process of proving that. This fight with BJ Penn, I will prove to the world that I am the best at 155,” the former welterweight told Fighers Only Magazine.

“Penn… that guy’s a legend, the most dominant lightweight in the history of the UFC. My edge is to not fear. There is no doubt in my mind – I am the best and I am here to claim what is mine. I fight every fight like its my last fight, that’s why fans love me. I am going to risk it every time.”
