Apart from his rather outlandish training regimes that fans disregarded, things got serious recently. Sanchez was supposed to fight ‘Cowboy’ Cerrone at UFC Vegas 26, however, Fabia’s intervention prevented that from happening. In a recorded call to UFC brass, he shared concerns over Sanchez’s health, and then there was a refusal to comply with requests to review Sanchez’s medical history.
The UFC didn’t feel comfortable going ahead with the proceeding and terminated Diego Sanchez’s contract. What’s more, in the wake of the cancelation, both men claimed that the UFC was out to assassinate them. The MMA community was largely of the belief that Fabia spurred these claims.
