When a bloodied but unbowed Diego Sanchez had his hand raised in victory on Saturday March 3rd after his bout against Martin Kampmann it was hard not to look at Sanchez and recall his loss to B.J. Penn at UFC 107.
Penn and Sanchez met on that December 2009 fight card to do battle for Penn's UFC lightweight title.
Penn dominated the action in this fight, but Sanchez refused to quit, showing great heart over the course of the five round fight.
When Penn delivered a kick to the head of Sanchez in the fifth and final round a deep cut opened up on the forehead of Sanchez.
The cut was severe enough to warrant a visit from the cageside doctor who called a stop to the fight at the 2:37 mark of the fifth round.
