Diego Sanchez picked up one of the worst decisions in UFC history earlier this year when judges gave him the nod over Ross Pearson. Pearson's fellow UK fighter Norman Parke plans to get one back on Sanchez at UFC 180, but Sanchez thinks Parke's been putting more pressure on himself with his talk.

"Now, the pressure I feel is on Norman Parke, because he's the one who's been running his mouth," Sanchez said in an interview with Submission Radio. "You know, this guy has the nerve to say that he’s going to kick my F'ing head off, clean off. Clean off. He should have taken a line out of [Conor] McGregor's book, and I was like real original. But you know it's on him. He has to come and try to take my head off. Because as far as I'm concerned, from all the fight footage that I've been watching, this guy has pillow punches."

"I'm not concerned with his power at this moment, but at the same time I don't want to take hits that I don't have to take. And if I can get this guy down and beat him up, I'm gonn take him down and beat him up, and if I have to fight him standing, I'll fight him standing."

Penick's Analysis: Sanchez has an uncanny ability to just brush things off from fight to fight, and he's done that with the Pearson controversy. He's shrugged it off into this fight in Mexico in November, and he's placing all the pressure now on his opponent. He can also do that because he just doesn't keep the negativity on himself, and his history with the UFC allows him more leeway than others.
