Hopefully he just retires.
Diego Sanchez has been forced out of his upcoming fight against former teammate Donald âCowboyâ Cerrone at UFC Vegas 26 on May 8.
Multiple sources confirmed the information to MMA Fighting on Wednesday following an initial report from reporter Carlos Contreras Legaspi on Twitter.
Details surrounding Sanchezâs withdrawal from the card have not been revealed.
With Sanchez out, the UFC has started a search to find a new opponent for Cerrone, who is still expected to compete on the upcoming May 8 card.
Must have been the airport vending machine food.
Is he still stuck there??
Shit
That dudeâs still fighting?
Bad news for sure.I really like that fight.
Dillashaw is off of the card also.
Chimaev??
Chimaev vs. Cowboy???
Hell nah!!! No need to keep feeding Cerrone to young lions who will destroy him. Letâs not sacrifice a legendâs reputation so Chimaev can continue to build his own.
Could Nick Diaz step in at 170?
I don`t think that Nick is even in the USADA testing pool.The UFC would have to find a loop hole.
Any reasons given for pulling out?
I have a feeling the video of Fabia bagging on the UFC at the airport didnât sit too well with the big dogsâŚ
I just went to Mccarran to check if he was still there, yep still there.
Donât pretend the UFC wouldnât just say âfuck itâ to get Diaz back. Cerrone wouldnât have an issue either.
Yessir, Troy.
Rude Boy!!!
Been a minute, good to see you and good to see you saying it out loud.
Was wondering if I was the only one that read it that way.
*Everything we believed in is over.
They did Diego wrong and donât like that he said something when they treat him like he isnât a money maker.
Its over.
Itâs not our toy anymoreâŚ
Seems almost obvious to me. Hope all is well! \m/
Shit. Did you drop a quarter for the vending machine?
Can we help somehow??
Theyâre not gonna bring Nick Diaz back for a free show
