‘UFC left me at airport’ - Diego Sanchez says he got ditched by promotion after Matthews bout

It seems more than just Diego Sanchez’s last bout in the UFC didn’t go to plan for the longtime MMA veteran. The ‘Nightmare’ faced off against Jake Matthews, last September on the undercard of UFC 253 at the du Forum in Abu Dhabi, losing the bout by unanimous decision.

Adding insult to injury, after arriving back in the states in Las Vegas, Sanchez apparently got ditched at the airport. A recent post on Instagram included video from the incident, where Sanchez claims that he went to find a bathroom after disembarking from his flight, only to realize once he returned that the UFC bus had left for the hotel without him or his corner team, including UFC veteran Stephan Bonnar, on board.
