Waarom ging Diego ook alweer weg bij Greg Jackson?
Zie hier een ouder interview:
Feb. 2008 interview with the "Nightmare:" (http://www.mmamania.com/2008/02/08/their-worst-nightmare-mmamaniacom-exclusive-interview-with-ufc-welterweight-diego-sanchez/)
Jesse Holland (MMAmania.com): [Georges St. Pierre is] now with Greg Jackson and you're not. Based on what you've said thus far I'll assume that's more than just a coincidence?
Diego Sanchez: I have so much respect for the Jackson camp. Keith Jardine, Nate Marquardt, all those guys, they're still my boys. My loyalty was very strong. But GSP could have gone to any camp he wanted. He knew that place was my home, my dream. That took a little something out of my heart. He's training in the cage that I bled in, that I sweat in and cried in.
Jesse Holland (MMAmania.com): Did you feel pushed aside when he arrived?
Diego Sanchez: Put yourself there for a minute. You're an undefeated fighter coming off two of the biggest wins of your career (Parisyan/Riggs). Now they're bringing in the champion of your weight class to train with your guys? For three months I was telling Greg that my heart wasn't feeling it. Greg kept telling me "Trust me, trust me, you guys are going to make each other the best" but I kept feeling like their true intentions were to make me go down to 155. I mean most of the Jackson fighters cut a lot of weight and that's not me. I wasn't going to do it. I wasn't bowing down to Georges St. Pierre. I ain't riding nobody's coattails. I'm Diego Sanchez and just because I had two decision losses - one while I was sick and one controversial to a top five welterweight - does not mean that I'm gonna give up on my dream, my dream to be welterweight champion. Maybe me and GSP will throw down in Albuquerque somewhere in the future. Dana told me there is going to be a show in Albuquerque. I don't want to fight him unless it's for the title. I want him for five rounds.
"Rush" rebuttal from Aug. 2008 interview: (http://www.mmamania.com/2008/08/07/rush-to-judgement-an-exclusive-interview-with-ufc-welterweight-champion-georges-st-pierre/)
Jesse Holland (MMAmania.com): In my (http://mmamania.com/2008/02/08/their-worst-nightmare-mmamaniacom-exclusive-interview-with-ufc-welterweight-diego-sanchez/)interview with fellow welterweight and former Jackson pupil Diego Sanchez (http://mmamania.com/2008/02/08/their-worst-nightmare-mmamaniacom-exclusive-interview-with-ufc-welterweight-diego-sanchez/), the "Nightmare" blamed you for his split with Greg Jackson - that you kind of ran him out of town with your arrival. Your response?
Georges St. Pierre: (Pauses) Well, I don't think so. I thought that Diego left because of his kid in California and for his family. I don't know if it was for anything else.
Jesse Holland (MMAmania.com): Here is a direct quote from Diego: ‘GSP could have gone to any camp he wanted. He knew that place was my home, my dream. That took a little something out of my heart. He's training in the cage that I bled in, that I sweat in and cried in'.
Georges St. Pierre: Well...he's got to do what he's got to do. I don't have any angry feeling towards Diego Sanchez.
