Daniel Bryan Meets Originator of YES! Chant

As successful and popular as Daniel Bryan’s “YES!” chant is in World Wrestling Entertainment, he wasn’t the first one to use it in a sports and entertainment setting.

UFC fighter Diego “Nightmare” Sanchez used it to pump himself up prior to fights. Bryan has even credited Sanchez in the past for coming up with it first.

The two finally had a chance to meet each other at a WWE Live Event in Albuquerque over the weekend, as Bryan mentioned on his Twitter account.
