John McCarthy believes Kevin Lee vs. Diego Sanchez is a mismatch, but he does see one way that Sanchez could win. Lee (18-7) and Sanchez (30-13) are expected to square off in an Eagle FC event on March 11, which will mark both men’s first fight since parting ways with the UFC. McCarthy’s concern mainly lies with the fact that Lee is still only 29, whereas Sanchez turns 40 on Friday and has suffered quite a bit of damage in his recent losses. Sanchez’s departure from the UFC was sparked by his former manager, Joshua Fabia, requesting his medical records, which prompted the UFC to pull Sanchez from a May 8 fight against Donald Cerrone due to concerns over his health . “Diego’s been just a warrior, he’s an incredible guy, I love him, but here comes the speed,” McCarthy said on his “Weighing In” podcast.
