Joe Lauzon And Diego Sanchez Grapple With The Troops In Iraq

UFC fighters Joe Lauzon and Diego Sanchez took some time out of their training to spend some time with our brave troops over in Iraq.

Both fighters are widely lauded as two of the most exciting fighters in UFC history. Joe Lauzon, for instance, is tied with Nate Diaz for the most Post-Fight Bonus awards in UFC history and has the most Post-Fight Submission awards.

Diego Sanchez’s fight against Gilbert Melendez is widely considered one of the best fights in UFC history. He will be fighting in the main event of this year’s Chokes By The Ocean on Saturday, July 29.

Check out some Instagram videos of the two grappling with the troops below:

What a honor to come out and boost the moral of the troops with old fashion grappling! 🇺🇸 🇫🇷
