Diego Sanchez has been forced to withdraw from his upcoming fight against Donald ‘Cowboy’ Cerrone at UFC Vegas 26.
Carlos Contreras Legaspi first revealed the news on Twitter. Details regarding Sanchez’s withdrawal have not yet been announced, and the UFC is yet to make an official announcement.
Cerrone (36-15, 2NC) last fought to a majority draw with Niko Price at UFC Vegas 11. ‘‘Cowboy’ hasn’t won a fight since defeating lightweight contender Al Iaquinta in May 2019.
Sanchez (30-13) was hoping to get back in the win column against Cerrone after losing his last fight in one-sided fashion to Australian welterweight Jake Matthews at UFC 253.
