Ufc Diego Sanchez Record
Why isn’t Diego Sanchez appearing on any UFC rankings?
Looking up rankings on sherdog, I am surprised to see that Sanchez, despite a 21-2 record isn’t listed among lightweights or welterweights.. not in the top 10 nor in the “other contenders” list at the bottom of the page.
Can anyone explain? Sanchez isn’t even in the top 15 Welterweights.. is it because of losses to top 10 guys (Koscheck and Fitch)?
The reason Sanchez isn’t listed in the welterweights top 15 is not because he was beat by two of the top ten, it is because he has dropped down to the lightweight division. Granted he has posted two very impressive wins in a highly stacked division but with the likes of BJ Penn, Sean Sherk, Kenny Florian, Tyson Griffin, Clay Guida, Hermes Franca, Frankie Edgar and others who have been building this division the last couple of years, it’s not quite fair to post Diego in the top ten with only two fights under his belt. That’s like giving someone a title shot after only three professional fights and one of those was a loss, wait, that did happen.
