Isaac Marquez came into the JacksonWink MMA gym earlier this year, walked two inches from the mat there and that’s when he met Diego Sanchez.
Sanchez told Ariel Helwani on Monday’s edition of The MMA Hour that he never expected his relationship — and eventual fight — with Marquez to go viral online. That, the longtime UFC fighter said, was never the intention.
“I didn’t plan any of it at all,” said Sanchez, who appeared on the show with Marquez via Skype. “There was no plan to it. It was just me meeting someone, sharing love, sharing the mixed martial arts.
