How is Diego?

Twitter is bringing us closer to our favourite fighters. Now, on your Iphone or Blackberry you can read tweets all day from any number of BJJ players or MMA fighters. You get to feel closer to them during their training camps, their weight cuts, their weigh in's and warm up's and then straight after the fight they are back on Twitter talking to all their 'tweeps and tweople'

As you know Diego Sanchez is part of Saulo's Team and really..I have always liked his BJJ when he takes his fights to the ground. Actually his fight with Nick Diaz was one of the fights that made me really get fascinated with Jiu Jitsu. (Go to Youtube and watch Marcelo Garcia VS Diego).

So I started following him on Twitter @Diegonightmare.Sure it's weird that he Tweeted during a Colonic Irrigation (You thought all BJ Penn's Breakfast Tweets were bad right?). But he was also talking the morning after the fight and has kept us up to date with his mind frame after the loss to BJ Penn..and what he didn't tweet his Boss did @danawhiteufc and that was - the state of his face.

The fight didn't go so well for Diego. He suffered a beating by BJ Penn but you cannot question his spirit as he kept coming forward. That Tony Robbins seems to work for The Nightmare.
