5 Toughest Fighters In MMA

#1 Diego Sanchez

Diego Sanchez may very well be the toughest man to ever lace up a pair of MMA gloves. The Dream aka The Nightmare aka Lionheart aka El Corazon de Leon has been around for so long, and taken ungodly amounts of damage. The vast majority of MMA fans and experts were strongly calling for the man to hang up the gloves -- particularly after he suffered back-to-back KO losses to Al Iaquinta and Matt Brown last year.

Nevertheless, Sanchez continues his fighting career -- most recently beating Craig White by way of Unanimous Decision at UFC 228. Sanchez is unanimously regarded as one of the most resilient fighters in MMA history, as the man -- whose defensive skills have been heavily criticized by one and all over the years -- simply keeps coming forward and fighting.

When it's all said and done, Sanchez may likely go down as one of the rare humans, to have scientifically proven that the human body is indeed capable of greater things -- including the ability to take seemingly unnatural amounts of damage, and recovering nonetheless.
