A lot went down this weekend and — as is the usual — some controversy arose.

Specifically, Diego Sanchez’s split win over Clay Guida at the “TUF 9″ finale has set the blogging world afire (if I can use the term ‘afire’ with you). Whichever side you are on, both fighters had great things to say about the other…if having blood drip on you, like Sanchez had, could only speak(via MMAJunkie):

“The guy has a tremendous chin,” Sanchez said. “There’s a reason he hasn’t ever been knocked out. I hit him with that kick right there, and I thought for sure he was done. He’s a machine. He is an animal.”

“I love it when the guy is bleeding on top of me,” Sanchez said. “Call me weird, but it means battle. It means war, and that’s what the UFC is all about.”

Meanwhile, a battered Guida refused to stop bouncing energetically even as he accepted the loss.

“You can’t hurt this guy,” Guida said. “I’m here for days. I come for days.”
