Diego Sanchez promises to leave Michel Pereira in a ‘pool of blood,’ but won’t fight him if he misses weight

Diego Sanchez has a message for Michel Pereira before they clash this weekend in New Mexico.

According to the former “Ultimate Fighter” winner, Pereira needs to hit the welterweight limit at 171 pounds on Friday during the weigh-ins, or there won’t be a fight on Saturday night.

In his most recent fight in the UFC, Pereira came in at 172 pounds — one pound over the welterweight limit — and he ultimately lost a decision to Tristan Connelly.

“If he misses weight for this fight, there will be no fight,” Sanchez told MMA Fighting.
