Diego Sanchez Enrolling In Brain Study Partially Funded By The UFC
Diego Sanchez is still talking to the UFC. On Monday, he announced that he’s in talks with the UFC and has agreed (in principle) to participate in the Professional Athletes Brain Health Study.
The Cleveland Clinic’s Luo Ruvo Center for Brain Health in Las Vegas runs the study, with the UFC partly funding it. Sanchez will be joining approximately 100 current and former UFC fighters already participating in the study. Sanchez admitted that he’s coordinating with the UFC for his participation. However, he doesn’t plan on relying on them solely for his care. (H/T MMAFighting.com)

Diego Sanchez on Monday said he’s in communications with the UFC once again and has agreed in principle to enroll in the Professional Athletes Brain Health Study funded in part by the industry leader.
“We’re talking, man,” Sanchez told MMA Fighting. “We’re going to do some studies and get myself and my mental health and everything documented by the doctors at the Cleveland Health Clinic and a couple other places that they’re going to pay for me to go to. We’re going to see how that goes, and then we’re going to get a second opinion.”
