Diego Sanchez responded to claims from many that he took the cowardly way out against Michel Pereira.
Sanchez has faced plenty of flak for choosing not to continue after receiving an illegal knee in the third round of his UFC Rio Rancho fight with Pereira this past weekend.
“The Nightmare” has already defended his decision as a veteran’s move but provided more insight in a post on Instagram:
“Notice the picture was the last picture before fight was ruled a DQ aside from the Cut sustained for the illegal blow my face looks clean as F, aside from the cut sustained by the illegal knee?! Maybe due to my opponents lack of awareness he lost control and did not recognize I went down from knee to the ribs that broke two ribs. He delivered a kill blow too my head with so much force! Who had to take that head damage me. It was not a glancing blow it was flush with full power and connection! It split my wig & The scar will be with me forever!
“So for me to continue to compete in this head space makes me a coward? No it makes me a #wiseman maybe you should rewatch the fight with no sound and witness the improvements in defense and movement when faced against the odds as is! fighting a 26 year old super athletic goliath that out weighs me by 20lbs has 5 inches in reach 5 inches in height, let’s add a uncanny ability to jump and deliver knees. This challenges my ability to get in for a shot, the game has evolved people it’s 2020 not 1996!”
Sanchez also hit out at commentator Daniel Cormier and Trevor Wittman for their analysis of the fight as well as the corner advice from Josh Fabia:
“@dc_mma 50 seconds in you and Trevor Wittman @twittman2 start poisonings the mind of the nation wide cast with your this is hard to watch and strange when I’m not taking damage. Protecting myself while still fighting a man who was not willing to stay the pocket and fight with me. I was sentenced to death in my own backyard, why isn’t anyone seeing this? Notice pereira got a three song custom champion only walk out song for his dance walk out? as if he was @stylebender or Jonathan Jones? This is not normal behavior by @ufc then @mikebisping hyping him up the dancing the flips OMG! Why the push is it @wwe now?
“All I know is the scar is for life and so is the Win! That makes 31 ufc fights in row why isn’t anyone saying that? It’s kinda some legend shit I’m doing.”
Finally, Sanchez responded to McGregor whose now-deleted tweet of a fight between the pair — which in all likelihood was a joke — went viral after the fight:
“Well at least the highest paid top tier fight IQ athlete and legendary champion @thenotoriousmma is not blinded by the smear campaign against me my coach manager and mentor @joshuafabiaknowbody & his company @schoolofselfawareness by the media and others?!
“Thank you @thenotoriousmma you are a wise man too. It’s been 6 years since we put each others names in our destiny.”

Diego Sanchez and his coach, Josh Fabia, have faced a lot of criticism coming off of UFC Rio Rancho this past weekend.
Sanchez’s corner audio was released and transcribed from his fight with Michel Pereira this past weekend, and Fabia was giving Sanchez some odd and unorthodox advice in between rounds. There didn’t seem to be any technical advice for Sanchez, who was losing the fight on the scorecards, but more spiritual-type advice.
With that being said, Sanchez went on to win the fight after Pereira nailed him with an illegal shot on the canvas. Sanchez took the disqualification victory and the criticism in the process. Now, the longtime UFC veteran has taken to social media to respond to the backlash his coaching has received. Here’s what he had to say:
“School of Self-Awareness is exactly why I have had a record low damage since he has coached. I guess you are just not aware enough to see the change in my movement?? Probably didn’t notice thee size difference or the age?? But hey maybe your a great coach or trainer. How many thousands have trusted you for their better wellbeing?
“My guy has trained enough to help anyone from me to you my friend. Maybe you could be ok with me being me and making my own decisions. Oh how come you all don’t attack any other coaches for the athletes performance @gregjacksonmma or @jacksonwink_mma never were blamed for my performance but they always got credit for any successes.
“Speak truth. The real question to all you haters is why does @joshuafabiaknowbody bother you…What’s you real problem??? Honestly you guys may need @schoolofselfawareness more than you realize #truth”
Longtime MMA coach Trevor Wittman, who was a part of the UFC Rio Rancho broadcast, was voicing his concern with Sanchez’s cornering throughout the fight. He was amazed that Fabia told him he won the first round, and was also shocked at the lack of technical advice being given in between rounds. Before the illegal knee, all three judged has Pereira up 20-18. It will be interesting to see if Sanchez sticks with his one-man corner moving forward.
