Helwani had Diego and his crazy ass coach on yesterday, can't find a clip of it but it's fukking insane :mjlol:
His coach was saying Sanchez showed Mayweather-like defense :ohhh:
Sanchez talking about how they met for 20 minutes, talking bout he was checking his ass out or some shyt :ohhh:
Sanchez saying Peireira is the most explosive athletic dude in the UFC:ohhh:

His coach HAS to be trolling.

The Ultimate Fighting Championship and Diego Sanchez are fully immersed in the Joshua Fabia era.

According to a report from MMAJunkie on Thursday, the coach of Sanchez warned the Nevada State Athletic Commission that Michael Chiesa's life may be in jeopardy in their UFC 239 bout. According to Fabia, the submission he taught Sanchez, which was explained as a standing guillotine choke that transitioned into version of the “Stone Cold Stunner” from pro wrestling, was a lethal one. Fabia claimed that he learned this maneuver during his training in South America.

Given Fabia’s claims, the commission and UFC officials debated the veracity of his statement, and determined, “the likelihood of Fabia and Sanchez executing some type of unknown fatal maneuver seemed negligible.” Following this decision, the commission reiterated to Sanchez and his coach that was was a sporting contest, and not one resulting in life or death as if it were taking place in “Mortal Kombat.”

Ultimately, the move feared by Sanchez and his coach did not come to fruition, as he dropped a one-sided unanimous verdict to his opponent. Throughout the bout, Sanchez was bullied to the canvas, and even gave up a 10-8 third round on all three scorecards. Sanchez spent the majority of the bout playing defense and fighting off choke attempts, and was never remotely in position to pull off his dangerous move.

This was not the only moment the commission took note of Fabia at that event, as he also burned incense in a group locker room. The commission requested that he stop. Additionally, an inspector from the NSAC reportedly noticed Fabia inserting a Q-tip into Sanchez’ nose coated with an unidentified -- at the time; it was later determined to be peppermint extract -- substance. Although it briefly drew the commission’s concern, the officials determined it was not worth stepping in.

Sanchez last competed at UFC Fight Night 167, and took home the win by disqualification when Michel Pereira landed an illegal knee in the third round. The gameplan of Sanchez criticized or questioned by the likes of commentator Joe Rogan, analyst and coach Trevor Wittman, UFC Hall-of-Famer Matt Serra and many others in the community; Sanchez and Fabia replied with a series of statements and interviews to push back.

Potentially, but I doubt it.

MMA fighters have been known to hire some of the most obvious conmen for coaches. Cain hired Joe Grasso, who claimed that from age 8 and onward, he lifted weights up to 10 hours per day. He'd post videos of Cain's training, and his methods made everyone instantly realize why Cain was chronically injured.

We can't forget about Conor's new age guru touch butt trainer Ido Portal :dame:

Report: UFC's Abdul Razak Alhassan indicted for alleged sex assault while working as bouncer

Report: UFC's Abdul Razak Alhassan indicted for alleged sex assault while working as bouncer

Five months before Abdul Razak Alhassanknocked out Niko Price at UFC 228, the welterweight fighter was freed on a $20,000 bail bond for a sexual assault charge.

Alhassan might not have even made the fight had a judge not granted a request to modify the terms of his bail so he could train and fight outside his hometown, according to the Fort Worth Star-Telegram.

The newspaper, citing court records, reports that Alhassan, 33, was indicted Monday on two counts of sexual assault. He is accused of driving home two intoxicated women and raping both of them inside one of their homes.

MMAjunkie was unable to reach Alhassan or his management. A request for comment from the UFC went unanswered.

An arrest warrant affidavit obtained by the Star-Telegram said the alleged victims – ages 20 and 22 – were friends who attended a birthday party for a Fort Worth police officer at the Varsity Tavern bar, where Alhassan worked as a head of security.

The 22-year-old asked Alhassan to get them in, and Alhassan agreed in return for her phone number, which she gave him, the 20-year-old said. After the two “consumed a lot of alcohol,” the 20-year-old lost sight of her friend and found her later in a utility closet making out with Alhassan. She said her friend was heavily intoxicated and didn’t remember what had happened.

The next thing the 20-year-old alleged victim remembers is arriving at her home in nearby Saginaw, Texas and Alhassan carrying her friend into her bedroom. She believed Alhassan had left, but when she returned from getting a glass of water, he was standing in the corner of the room. It was then that Alhassan allegedly grabbed her from behind, shoved her face first into the bed and raped her.

The 20-year-old alleged victim said she couldn’t scream because her face was in the bed. She claims Alhassan then moved on to her older friend and also raped her. After the alleged assault ended, she went to her mother, who was also in the house, to report something was wrong with her friend. The friend was vomiting and partially undressed.

According to the report, the mother found a used condom on top of the 22-year-old’s purse and placed it in a zip-lock bag, which was then given to police.

On March 24, the Fort Worth police interviewed the 22-year-old alleged victim, and then were called back the following day to interview the 20-year-old after the 20-year-old alleged being raped. The mother told police that her daughter remembered more details from the assault when she sobered up.

The police officer hosting the birthday party claims he danced with one of the alleged victims and found one of them in the bar’s alley after they called him. The officer said Alhassan claimed he only took the victims to their car.

In May, Alhassan’s attorney filed a successful motion to modify the terms of his release, arguing he would lose his livelihood if he could not train.

The owner of Varsity Bar told the Star-Telegram that Alhassan quit “months ago,” claiming he was going through personal issues.

Corner is stupid for not stopping it when she had double vision after the 1st round, an MMA corner is gonna get someone killed one day with their refusal to stop fights.
