Diego Sanchez and his coach blast media for ‘smear campaign’ following UFC Rio Rancho

Diego Sanchez and his head coach had a lot of problems with the comments made towards them following the co-main event at UFC Rio Rancho this past weekend.

The former Ultimate Fighter winner was down 20-18 across all three scorecards going into the third round where he ultimately was unable to continue after Michel Pereira hit him with an illegal knee late in the fight.

While he scored the win via disqualification, Sanchez and his lone cornerman, Joshua Fabia, took serious issue with some of the comments made about them from the fight.
