Is Diego Sanchez Looking To Transition To Boxing?
Diego Sanchez may be hinting at trying his hand at the sweet science. Sanchez has been undergoing some changes as of late. First, he was released from his UFC contract. The former UFC title contender hopped on Twitter to hint at making the transition to boxing. I built my name, I built my skill set, I built my legacy and I will finish my fight career on the confidence I built in my self! Not a coach not a team but blessings from God! #boxing  Diego Sanchez UFC (@DiegoSanchezUFC) June 10, 2021  I built my name, I built my skill set, I built my legacy and I will finish my fight career on the confidence I built in myself! Not a coach not a team but blessings from God! #boxing  One thing appears to be certain, it looks like Sanchez has no plans of ending his fighting career just yet. If he does indeed end up boxing, it would be a first for him. It may not come as a surprise either as weve seen numerous MMA stars such as Conor McGregor, Ben Askren, and soon Tyron Woodley, enter the boxing ring for a big payday. Sanchezs 16-year run with the UFC ended back in April. The news came less than 24 hours after word broke that Sanchez had been pulled from a planned matchup with Donald Cowboy Cerrone. Shortly after his UFC exit, Sanchez terminated his working relationship with Fabia. Oftentimes, the MMA community accused Fabia of taking advantage of Sanchez. Fabia has also been criticized for his training methods, such as chasing fighters around the cage with a knife. Fabia has shared his side of the story, claiming it was actually Diego who manipulated him. UFC President Dana White hasnt committed to bringing Sanchez back despite dropping Fabia.
