Diego Sanchez

By FCF Staff

Diego Sanchez’s next Octagon appearance has been pushed back, as the veteran fighter has announced he broke his collarbone while training this week.

The 33 year-old fighter, who wasn’t booked for his next bout, recently tweeted:

Mma is a rough sport I sustained a broken collar bone Monday during mma training. Surgery was a success praying for a fast recovery.

Sanchez (25-7) hasn’t fought since last June, when he earned a controversial, split decision win over Ross Pearson at a UFC Fight Night card. Prior to the victory Sanchez had dropped consecutive bouts to Myles Jury and Gilbert Melendez.

According to a follow up report from MMA Junkie.com, Sanchez is expected to be sidelined 4-6 weeks.
