Diego Sanchez’s work with School of Self Awareness gym owner Joshua Fabia has been one of the stranger stories in MMA over the past several months. Footage and stories of bizarre interactions between Fabia, UFC officials, other fighters, and even media members have been finding their way into the public discourse with greater and greater frequency surrounding the recent decision from the world’s largest MMA organization to buy out the rest of the ‘Nightmare’’s contract and release him to the open market.
One of the stranger things to come up has been a video of Sanchez training with Fabia, where Fabia appears to be using the former TUF champ as a makeshift heavybag, slapping his head and throwing light kicks to his body as Sanchez hangs, suspended upside down.
