Former UFC champion and current commentator Michael Bisping has lashed out at Diego Sanchez’s former coach Joshua Fabia.
Over the course of the last few months, it became evident to MMA fans and pundits that Fabia and Sanchez’s relationship wasn’t a straightforward one.
From chasing fighters with knives to hanging them upside down before slapping them, Fabia was clearly using some unconventional methods.
“It just shows this guy is a real piece of sh*t.”
Sanchez, who won the first season of The Ultimate Fighter, is still considered to be a fan favourite amongst the UFC faithful to this day. That loyalty was tested courtesy of his association with Fabia but after news broke regarding their split, for many it was a relatively welcome development.
In the wake of Fabia launching his own accusations towards Sanchez, the aforementioned Bisping couldn’t help but weigh in during a recent episode of his podcast.
“He’s sitting there, he’s trying to be passive-aggressive, he’s talking about basically saying that [Diego’s] got a one-bedroom apartment but he’s got a child, so he’s making little connotations there about him as a father, which is disgusting.” Bisping said.
“He’s talking about substance abuse issues and if he has a problem—Again, that’s disgusting. That’s private information between them two, never gonna share that. Talking stuff about him having special education needs and things like that, I don’t know,
“What this guy did to Diego’s career and to end up losing him his job and then for him now to come out and talk all this sh*t when Diego was so loyal to him and had his back and even cut off members of his own family and lost his place in the UFC that he had for a long time. And for him to come out there, do this, so quickly as well? It just shows this guy is a real piece of sh*t.”
Sanchez was released by the UFC earlier this month after pulling out of a scheduled fight against Donald Cerrone.
