#4 Diego Sanchez vs Gilbert Melendez
UFC 166 witnessed the return of the debatable Godfather of bloodbaths: Diego Sanchez. And with Gilbert Melendez standing across from him, it's no surprise the viewing world got exactly what it wanted and expected.
The ever-swinging Sanchez was the first to feel the wrath of this fight from hell as Melendez put on precision striking to draw first blood. The Mexican American continued to blast wayward combinations as Melendez picked him off from distance. Sanchez, however, continued to soldier on with his face now pouring blood almost walking into combinations.
The highlight of the fight has to be a bloody Sanchez calling for more as he hunted his retreating opponent down only to get blasted in the face repeatedly. All credit to the warrior who pushed and pushed until he finally connected hard enough with a huge uppercut to drop the now lightly-bleeding Melendez.
The warriors exchanged for the whole allotted fifteen minutes, which Dana White said later was a case of bad refereeing, and the decision went to Gilbert Melendez.
