OMAHA, Neb. – There will be a page in Diego Sanchez’s life story that’s marked by a long, black smudge.
This is the time from late 2009 to early 2011 where whatever internal
rudder he had in place was thrown so out of whack that he returned to
God with more fiery dedication than ever. The time he became addicted to
drugs and women and the lifestyle of a famous fighter.
Sanchez is clean now, and he talks about his next opponent, Jake Ellenberger, as the kind of guy who will bring out his best.
