Diego's dominance

Diego Sanchez made a seamless transition from welterweight to lightweight, you think? Sanchez dominated Joe Stevenson for three rounds Saturday in London to position himself into the division's championship division. His management team is working on getting me an exclusive for Junkie this week. I also hope to catch up with Josh Koscheck, whose UFC status is now tenuous after his controversial KO loss to Paulo Thiago. Koscheck and the fans in London were furious over what they perceived as a premature stoppage; UFC commentator Joe Rogan disagreed. It'll be interesting to see if the outspoken Koscheck is still steaming over this.

Also on tap is Mike Brown's first defense of the WEC Featherweight title Sunday night against Leonard Garcia, and his first right since shocking Urijah Faber in November. Junkie ran a poll on February 14 in which less than 10 percent thought Brown wouldn't last the year as champion. I am amazed he's being treated like another Buster Douglas. Brown took advantage of  a rare Faber mistake and caught him flush with a right cross. A win over a good fighter in Garcia and it'll be interesting to see if he gets a rematch with Faber or tackles a deep division. Lots of interesting topics to explore here.

Thanks to everyone who checked out the new YES Blog. I've been keeping tabs on the Yankees and their routine down in Tampa, with my colleagues Joey and Glenn soon to follow. It'll be read and react until the team makes its way up north and into the brand new Yankee Stadium, and that will be when the real fun will begin.
