ABU DHABI – UFC president Dana White has a soft spot for Diego Sanchez but isn’t sure if he’s comfortable seeing the veteran fight out the rest of his contract. Sanchez (30-13 MMA, 19-13 UFC), 38, suffered a lopsided unanimous decision loss to Jake Matthews this past weekend at UFC 253, where he showed incredible heart but was ultimately overwhelmed for 15 minutes. Prior to this fight, “The Ultimate Fighter 1” winner said he planned on completing the rest of his four-fight deal with the UFC before calling it quits. Although Sanchez has officially won three of his past five appearances, White doesn’t know how much longer Sanchez can go on.
