âIt was a message saying, âDiego, you need to check your email, because Hunter sent you an email, and itâs extremely important that you read this email and respond to this email by tomorrow, or the fight is going to be canceled,’â Diego Sanchez said (via MMAJunkie).
âUFC wanted me to state that I am not experiencing any neurological issues and that I have no long-term health side effects from fighting a career of (16) years in the UFC,â Sanchez said. âMy advisers told me, âBasically what theyâre trying to do is, right before you finish your last fight, theyâre trying to make sure they have documentation of you saying that you never sustained anything. So basically youâre being forced, being bullied into waiving your medical rights, possible (UFC) medical liabilities.â With that being said, the email was sent to Hunter, and the response was very fast. ⦠The letter said they have chosen to pay me 100 percent for the fight, show money, win money, and sponsorship money.â
