Diego Sanchez has been in the UFC since 2005, and is known as one of the pioneers of Mixed Martial Arts.
He is coming off a loss to Jake Matthews in September, but before then he was adamant that a fight against Conor McGregor was around the corner. McGregor had expressed an interest in fighting Diego in Dublin to Dana White earlier in the year. However, this received criticism, as Diego is unranked and 38 years of age.
Last night, Diego Sanchez tweeted around 20 times in the space of one hour. The series of tweets included a number of call outs of fellow UFC fighters.

Dan Hardy has not fought in several years due to health issues, but had expressed an interest in returning to good health and the UFC one day.
