Diego Sanchez hopes to finally throw down with Nate Diaz – without gloves.
Sanchez makes his bareknuckle boxing debut against Austin Trout at BKFC: KnuckleMania 3 on Feb. 17 at Tingley Coliseum in Albuquerque, N.M, which is Sanchez’s home city. The main card streams on BareKnuckle TV after prelims on YouTube.
Although they never crossed paths, Sanchez and Diaz were longtime UFC fighters before each recently parted ways with the promotion. Sanchez does, however, have a 2005 win over Diaz’s brother Nick.
