Diego Sanchez’s trainer on his credentials: ‘There’s no papers to justify real’

Their most recent collaboration took place at UFC Rio Rancho this weekend, where the TUF 1 alum picked up a disqualification win due to an illegal knee.
Fabia’s unorthodox corner advice that night was questioned by Daniel Cormier and longtime trainer Trevor Wittman, who were both on commentary duties. Both Sanchez and Fabia fired back, calling Cormier and Wittman’s criticisms a “smear campaign” and a form of “media bullying.”
