Following a 3-2 record in his last five bouts, ‘Nightmare’ parted ways with the UFC. However, there were rumors about his move to the new surging form of MMA bare-knuckle fighting.
Many other former UFC fighters like Mike Perry, Chad Mendes, Artem Lobov, Paige VanZant, Ricco Rodriguez, Chase Sherman, and Jason Knight have also turned their attention towards bare-knuckle fighting after UFC.
As per the reports, Sanchez was in talks with Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship this year. And was interested to face the former UFC welterweight Perry inside the BKFC cage.
However, there hasn’t been any official announcement so far. Also, considering Sanchez’s current condition, his fans will surely have to wait for him to recover before they get to see him back in action.
