Three fights deep at lightweight, "The Nightmare" has had enough and will be moving back up to welterweight. The latest message on his Twitter page reads:

"YES IM GOING BACK TO WELTERWEIGHT IM LOVING MY NEW DIET.I WANT KOS OR FITCH BUT ANY TOP GUY WILL DO JUST WANT TO GIVE U FANS THE BEST FIGHT"

Sanchez has also taken notice of Nate Diaz' decision to try his hand at 170 pounds, and politely offered to serve as his first welterweight opponent.

"@NateDiaz209 i agree you go robbed... i hear your going up too 170 too i would love to welcome you to welterweight lets make it happen."

Unfortunately, Diaz is already booked versus Rory Markham, so Diego will have to look elsewhere. Martin Kampmann comes to mind as an interesting "welcome back" for Diego.
