Ahead of his bout with Cerrone, Sanchez had passed the mandatory medical tests.
The promotion was not willing to let Sanchez fight despite these results as Fabia and attorney Charles N. Lakins refused to clarify if the UFC legend was suffering from either short-term or long-term medical issues.
According to Yahoo Sports, Fabia asked a UFC medical coordinator for all of Sanchez’s medical records, dating back to 2004.
Several UFC employees complained to the UFC’s Chief of Business Officer, Hunter Campbell, after being berated by Fabia.
Fabia later told Campbell about short-term and long-term medical issues Sanchez may have experienced.
