UFC veteran Diego Sanchez has released a statement following his lopsided unanimous decision loss to Jake Matthews at UFC 253, claiming that he fought with a torn labrum (shoulder injury) and will be undergoing stem cell treatment in Utah.
“Warriors don’t always win they do however always survive! I took a fight on the other side of the world on a months notice, fought my fourth primed 26 year old out of the last five opponents. With a torn labrum in my left hip! I positively pressed the fight with a streaking 5-1 welterweight prospect.
