(UPDATED @ 12:25 a.m. ET confirming Sanchez’s UFC release) Very little about the news Diego Sanchez was out of his next UFC fight seemed like a normal fight withdrawal. That news came Wednesday when it was revealed Sanchez (30-13 MMA, 19-13 UFC) was out of his welterweight co-main event against former teammate Donald Cerrone (36-15-1 MMA, 23-12-1 UFC) at UFC on ESPN 24 on May 8. Thursday, Sanchez posted on his Instagram stories that he was “free at last” and tagged Bellator, ONE Championship, BKFC and others – implying he no longer is with the UFC and is a free agent. UFC officials later verified Sanchez’s release to MMA Junkie. Those who follow Sanchez on social media may have seen some things brewing between the longtime UFC fighter and the promotion and president Dana White.
