After title loss, Diego Sanchez returning to UFC’s welterweight division

After winning the first season of “The Ultimate Fighter” as a
middleweight, emerging as a top contender at welterweight, dropping to
lightweight and losing a title shot to champion B.J. Penn in December,
Diego Sanchez is apparently ready for a change.

On Monday the fighter said he plans to return to the welterweight division.

In a series of Twitter messages, “Nightmare” welcomed fights with everyone from Josh Koscheck to Jon Fitch to fellow weight-class jumper Nate Diaz.
