When and why did you start training for fighting? I started at five years old in BJJ because my dad and my brother were involved in the sport. At 17 I did my first MMA fight in my hometown of Amazonas. Since then, I haven’t stopped, and that’s why I’m here now.
Who are your main training partners? Alessandro Costa, Austin bashi and Jake Hamiti.
What professional titles have you had? Champion of 3 regional promotions in Mexico: JFL MMA, XFL MMA, Lux Fight League.
Any achievements in amateur combat sports? Jiu Jitsu Worlds runner-up
Do you have any belts/ranks in any fighting disciplines? 2nd-degree Jiu-Jitsu black belt
What has been your most difficult fight to date and why? My most difficult fight to date has been the fight with Dan Ige, because it was a surprise fight where we basically had to fight on instinct, without a complete game plan. Not the fight itself, but having the confidence in myself that I was capable of winning.
What fight do you consider to be the key fight in your career and why? Definitely the fight against Movsar Evloev. That fight made me known worldwide, because I was a nobody when I accepted the fight. And then my fight against Sabatini, where we fought in a big arena like Madison Square Garden.
Who is your favorite fighter and why? Cowboy Cerrone; he’s a person that I admire for his courage to accept fights in any circumstance and for having had the opportunity to train with him long before I was in the UFC.
Do you have any heroes outside of fighting? My dad and my brother.
Beyond a championship or money, what motivates you? What motivates me is being able to support and encourage many people to achieve their dreams and goals, and to show them that with hard work, anything is possible.
Tell us about your life outside of fighting: My life outside the fighting world is simple. I teach jiu-jitsu at my gym when I'm in Mexico and I train my fighters.
What is one thing that you want UFC fans around the world to know about you? What I want them to know about me is that Diego is a fighter who always gives his all in fights to entertain them.
What was your job before you started fighting? I used to teach at my dad’s gym, it was for love, not a job at all. And I still teach Jiu-Jitsu and MMA in my gym in Mexico
