Kevin Lee vs Diego Sanchez just finished up . More than likely 30-27 Lee . But I’m impressed with the evolution of Diego at 40 years old . Very crafty #EagleFC46

I've said this many times. There's no doubt Diego Sanchez has taken a ton of damage, but he's not nearly as washed as Twitter makes him out to be. You just have to look at the tape.

Whether it's advisable or not to keep fighting, Diego is not an easy fight. #EagleFC46

The fight was pretty much entertaining and delivered the hype that it created. Diego had Lee hurt with his calf kicks in first round but Lee overall managed to dominate him for entire fight.
