Welcome to Midnight Mania!
Have we seen the final of inaugural Final Fighter (TUF) champion and former title challenger Diego Sanchez contained in the Octagon? “The Nightmare” has been vocally complaining about his remedy from UFC, claiming they left him on the airport and disrespected him via commentary.
At present, he posted “FREE AT LAST, FREE AT LAST” on his Instagram story, tagging a number of different promotions within the publish (together with Bellator and Naked Knuckle Combating Championship). Whereas UFC has but to launch an announcement or take away Sanchez from the roster, it’s laborious to interpret the publish in every other manner.
Occasions have actually been powerful for the 39-year-old veteran. He’s misplaced two of his final three bouts, and the sole victory was a disqualification. In fact, Sanchez has been dropping most of the time courting again to 2013, so a launch wouldn’t be surprising, notably when his coach is regularly getting in arguments with UFC staff.
That stated, Sanchez seems happy with the result. Hopefully, it opens up a brand new alternative for “The Nightmare,” who can be ending his 16-year UFC stretch with a 19-13 report contained in the Octagon.
