No dude but they could focus the fight promotion on him and not diego, that's all. They can build Diego up as a threat and still center the hype around Penn. they do it with all of their other champions.
They call him "NIGHTMARE" And give him a break against Stevenson. It was his first fight ad******g to a new weight class. And barely got by Guida? Are you mad? He whipped Guida's ass. [ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3VFpqP0fTcE[/ame]
I think they're just trying to hype up the fight. Everyone pretty much know who bj penn is and what he can do but diego is unknown to a lot of casual fans. They do try to make it seem like diego is some kind of beast but it's just part of the promotions to get people to watch the fight.
Thats because Clay laid on top him quite a bit in the 2nd and 3rd although he did nothing of note. 2nd round Diego actually cut him open and hurt him with elbows off his back, 3rd round Diego spent that round trying to choke him out or rip his arm off. http://www.mma-core.com/videos/_Diego_Sanchez_vs_Clay_Guida_TUF_9_Finale?vid=10005354&tid=100
MMA needs to stop having these stupid ass Boxing judges score fights. They know NOTHING about grappling. Sanchez should have won a UD.
