On Wednesday, it was reported that UFC veteran Diego Sanchez will no longer be part of his scheduled May 8th bout with Donald Cerrone. No specific reasons were given, as Sanchez and the UFC kept mum about the entire situation.
A day later, the 39-year-old Sanchez posted an Instagram story to say he was “Free at last.” He also tagged other fight promotions namely Bellator, ONE Championship, Brave MMA, and Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship, which likely implies his release from the UFC.
Diego Sanchez’s Instagram story from 25 minutes ago makes it sound like he is no longer under contract with the UFC.
