There’s at least one person in the MMA community who believes Diego Sanchez’s fears for his life are warranted. Yesterday, it was revealed that Diego Sanchez is concerned that the UFC might murder him and make it appear to be an accident. This is because of Sanchez being critical of the organization after his release in regards to their allegedly autocratic and cutthroat business practices. Former UFC fighter Leslie Smith has long echoed such sentiments, which is what led to her beginning Project Spearhead, an organization that looks to finally unionize MMA fighters. In fact, Smith filed a legal complaint against the UFC regarding employee rights back in 2018. So while much of the world may have found Sanchez’s comments to be more concerning for his mental health than his physical health, Smith believes he has good reason to be afraid. She even has a story about a dead prostitute to help back up her reasoning.
