Diego Sanchez is about to fight at Eagle FC against another former UFC fighter in Kevin Lee. Both men had a very awkward split with the promotion and now find themselves fighting each other in Eagle FC.

There were many feelings for Diego Sanchez after getting released from the UFC but he's not holding a grudge. That doesn't mean the now Eagle FC fighter sees the promotion as doing business the right way.

“There’s no reason to hold a grudge,” Sanchez said on Just Scrap Radio on BJPENN.com. “A grudge will only kill you, a grudge will only hurt you, a grudge will only put you in the chains in the shackles of hatred and that isn’t Diego Sanchez’s positive energy. I have no resentment over what has happened and transpired at the end of my career in the UFC. With that being said, I do think there are a lot of things that can be improved in the UFC that they aren’t putting effort into improving.

“It’s just a business, and it’s just about money. Fighting is a different sport as combat is where people get injured and bleed and sacrifice their bodies for the entertainment of the fans and the building of the company,” Sanchez continued. “With that being said, this ain’t some normal business, you need to give some care and some love… I just let it go and I’m happy and grateful to be in a new organization that values me and recognizes me for the legend that I am even if it is a pay cut, it’s about the values.”

Diego Sanchez has been very vocal about fighter pay and he knows the UFC won't be looking to make any changes. His opponent, Kevin Lee experienced that as well.

“I don’t see it changing, I see it going under before it changes, I see something newer and better that takes it out or it goes bankrupt. In the end, UFC they have done a great job of expanding the sport but it’s a greedy organization,” Sanchez said. “How many billions do you have to get before you start paying the fighters more than 10 percent of the revenue? You have the NFL and the NBA are getting paid 50, other sports are getting paid 60%, UFC isn’t paying fighters. We are the fighters that get fucked up and they just throw you out like old trash.”
