Diego Sanchez

By FCF Staff

Following Myles Jury’s decision win over Diego Sanchez at UFC 171, the rising lightweight said he had won the fight “easily”, and the rugged vet says a pre-fight meal was one of the reasons.

Sanchez (24-7) took to Twitter after the defeat, which followed a UD loss to Gilbert Melendez in October, and stated the following:

I wasn't my self last night I sustained Food poisoning from eating a beef tar tar with raw quail egg as a appetizer at dinner

This was my own mistake I ordered it thinking I need red meat but raw was the wrong choice, I threw up first at at 2am & all day fight day.
