Voted Melendez, but all are great fights. However Diego needs to pick up his game if he wants these three after the Gomi fight (which IMO he lost)

I always like to see fighters coming off losses fighting each other and vice versa, that being said both coming off wins Josh Thomson vs Diego Sanchez is a good fight.

With the way Melendez & Thomson looked in their last fights Sanchez shouldn't want any part of them. Diaz would be very interesting.

I think Diego matches up with Thomson very well. Both are scrappy guys and Diego's pretty good in a dog fight. Melendez, yeah I agree, he's a bit out of Diego's league when it comes to boxing/takedown defense. I don't know if he finishes Diego (not easy to do), but he wins a decision quiet easily. I think Diaz takes it also but Diego will make it a really good fight.

To be honest, all 3 of them would beat Diego pretty badly imo. A month ago I would have said Josh was the weak link, but he looked great against Nate.

Very true. Finishing a Diaz is always a respectable feat.

I would rather see Sanchez vs Melendez headlining a fx or fuel card making it 5 rounds

Yes, as a Nate Hater, I had been waiting since the Manny Gamburyan fight for this to happen!

I think Ross Pearson vs Diego Sanchez would be a really good fight.

This match would clearly have the best trash talk,quotes and sound bites leading up to the fight, which probably turns out to be an entertaining scrap

I think match makers should move forward on the assumption that Diego lost his last fight. He looked like crap, was a boring fight and Gomi beat him up. Diego should be fighting George Sotiropoulus or Thiago Tavares, not guys in the top 10.

All of them, but for now Nate would be my choice. The mean mugging from each other at the weigh ins will be the ugliest ever.

Diego is just trying to keep his name relevant...........when in reality he has pretty much phased himself out
