Two of the biggest stars in the MMA world reacted to the bizarre training video of Joshua Fabia and Diego Sanchez. 'Notorious' Conor McGregor went on a rant on Twitter, blasting at Joshua Fabia for possibly injuring Diego Sanchez. He wrote:
“This is just madness. I’ll break this things nose in half. This not the move Diego, my bro. I been with ye the whole way, and still am. But this is not on. It was unfair treatment by commentary and fans on your last performances imo, for sure. But not on this guy, 0-0. Ditch. I’m actually on the side of body hardening work also. Working the body etc. But doing it hanging upside down, and getting the dome of the head struck repeatedly, while covering vision, is preposterous! Grab this guy by the ears and head butt him at his front door first thing. I watched the engagement with the broadcast team with an open minded judgement and an understanding that there was disrespectful comments made against you. You were right to pull this up. But the other guy took over the convo. Made it all about him. This is not his story Diego.”
Jon 'Bones' Jones, too, took to Twitter and advised Diego Sanchez to steer clear of Joshua Fabia.
