Every fighter in his division should be put on notice, this man is special. He will never be an easy win. The guy is so well rounded and he has that charles thing when he gets taken down he immediately start attacking chokes and subs. Suerte Diego!

[@puntsize]

He's been a bit susceptible to people taking him down and laying on him though. Pat is obviously going to try to do that; he's a bit chinny though, so I'd favor Diego in this one.

[@motheo278]

Definitely right he does have that Charlie Olives thing about him

[@alexhudson-]

DIEGO!! Bro I've been following your career. You are an amazing fighter and you will be champion one day. God bless you and your family and thank you for all your talents.

[@hugoalvarado6936]

This guy is doing amazing he went from having an incredible debut, to winning his first fight in exciting fashion and now he’s fighting in MSG can’t estoy for the rest of his career PS I met him at UFC X he was cool I mistook him for Ricky Simon (haircut) but he just smiled and took a picture with me, I’ve felt like an idiot ever since but he was great

[@LuisHernandez-ke1hz]

how the hell you mistake him for ricky simon lmao

[@hugoalvarado6936]

Lmao I know it was dumb I just saw the hair said “Ricky can I get a picture?!” Then I looked it and realized he’s too tall that’s when I feel dumb 😂

[@BBD-JITZ]

[@Bence9122]

[@economiadefato]

[@Kamui29]

@@titomoura7014 I'm guessing it's to Diego's team understand as well because they are Mexicans

[@oakword3236]

happy for Diego. it's cool to see that despite he lost his first fight, he immediately gained fans. and some fighters think the only important thing is winning. nope. it's how you win and how you fight.

[@pr0cs]

Why is the guy that picks up the fighters shoes and sweats before they get in the cage being interviewed?

[@Blackreapxr]

Because he did well against Movsar, an undefeated prospect and finished Tucker in an exciting fashion? Are you dumb? Lol everyone loved this guy ofc he’s gonna get interviewed
