Diego Sanchez targets Matt Hughes or rematches with Jon Fitch or B.J. Penn next

“Ultimate Fighter” season one winner, Diego Sanchez has been throwing a few names out there as to who he’d like to face next inside the octagon once he’s fully healed up from the last hilarious battle he had earlier this month, with current top contender, Jon Fitch topping his list.
Posting via his Twitter page, Sanchez said:
“I would have to see my options. it’s in gods hands!! I need to talk to Dana White soon, I want to coach TUF so bad; that’s my roots. Was kinda thinkin maybe @matthughes if I can’t have @fitchfighter or @bjpenndotcom.”
When asked whether Fitch would be the fight that interests him the most, Sanchez said:
“That would be my number one pick.. Our fight was a close spilt decision where he didn’t put me in danger at all.”
Sanchez has put together back-to-back wins since returning to the welterweight division, impressively slugging it out with Brazilian submission artist, Paul Thiago and experienced striker, Martin Kampmann. Can he make it three from three and put himself into title contention at 170 pounds?
