Gallery Diego Sanchez def. Michel Pereira at UFC on ESPN+ 25: Best photos view 8 images LAS VEGAS – Diego Sanchez wasn’t able to effectively execute his gameplan against Michel Periera , but he’s happy to explain where it all went wrong. Sanchez was awarded a win over Pereira via disqualification earlier this month at UFC on ESPN+ 25 in Rio Rancho, N.M., in a fight that he was en route to losing before he got struck with an illegal knee and was rendered unable to continue. He wasn’t able to mount a lot of offense in the contest and struggled to get the fight to the ground, but Sanchez says there was a lot more that he had to deal with than meets the eye
