Former UFC star Diego Sanchez was arrested in New Mexico on September 7 on an aggravated DWI charge, an unfortunate headline for one of the sport's most beloved veterans. On a lighter note, Jean Silva said his only UFC loss, to Diego Lopes, is still his favorite fight of his career, an interesting mindset. Over in Dubai, PFL tournament winner Oleg Popov has been matched with an unbeaten finisher in a heavyweight showcase that should bring some serious power to that card.
