Diego Sanchez has been giving Jose Aldo tips on how to beat Conor McGregor

Picking sides

Take one wild guess as to who Diego Sanchez is rooting for in the main event of UFC 194…

Ding, ding, ding.

You’ve guessed correctly and Sanchez’s seemingly perennial rivalry with The Notorious has continued with his latest piece of advice for Jose Aldo.

Many have outlined a leg kick-heavy gameplan as being the key for Aldo to beat Conor McGregor when the pair finally get their hands on each other on December 12.

And the TUF 1 middleweight winner, who fell victim to a pretty lopsided unanimous decision defeat to Ricardo Lamas at UFC Monterrey on Saturday night, is advising Aldo to follow the same gameplan that Lamas did by using the power leg kick below the knee to wear on the movement of McGregor.

And who could have guessed that the McGregor fans who follow Sanchez on Twitter were not happy to let that slip by.
