May 5, 2021
UFC Hall of Fame member, winner of the inaugural season of
The Ultimate fighter, and former lightweight title challenger Diego Sanchez continues to display alarming behavior after being released by the UFC.
The 39-year old Sanchez displayed a state of mind filled with paranoia and irrationality during a Tuesday appearance on

The Ultimate Fighter, manipulates social media, and may murder him for speaking out.
Jiri Prochazka knocks out Dominick Reyes to earn title shot
Dominick Reyes rocked Jiri Prochazka and the Czech fighter returned the favor, all inside of the first two minutes of the UFC Vegas 25 main event. Reyes recovered and took Prochazka to the canvas.
It didn’t take Prochazka long to return the fight to the feet, where he unloaded on Reyes, hurting the former title contender. Reyes wasn’t done, though, landing several combinations in the final moments of the round. Prochazka ate the shots and kept combing forward, bloodying Reyes’s nose.
The American answered with several more punches, but Prochazka seemed to take the shots better than Reyes and again answered with a blistering combination that shook Reyes before the round ended.

Former middleweight champion Chris Weidman suffered a horrific leg injury in the first exchange in his UFC 261 rematch against Uriah Hall on Saturday.
Reminiscent of former middleweight champion Anderson Silva‘s leg injury against him at UFC 168 in 2013, Weidman’s leg snapped when Hall checked a leg kick. Weidman didn’t realize that he was so badly injured until he tried to step back and put weight on the leg. He immediately fell to the canvas in agony and disbelief. He was removed from the Octagon on a stretch after his leg had been stabilized.
