There are just some people who cannot be convinced of anything, no matter how much evidence you show them.
Diego Sanchez is one of those people and he is not changing his mind on the vaccine, despite him fighting for his life as we speak. Sanchez, a UFC Hall of Famer, posted an update last week, saying that he was doing better after qualifying for Regeneron monoclonal antibodies.
However, things took a turn for the worse and it’s left him with low oxygen levels, blood clots in both legs and pneumonia that has attacked his respiratory system.

One fan sent him a message asking why he didn’t get the vaccine.
“Big fan Diego. Why didn’t you get the vaccine, please use your platform to advise people how serious this is and to get the vaccine”
Despite experiencing severe symptoms from COVID-19, Sanchez said he hasn’t taken his vaccination shots yet because he’s not entirely sold.
“I’m going thru it but I can’t say I’m sold on the vax at the current moment in time”
Sanchez, who parted ways with the UFC earlier this year, is currently a free agent.
Bare Knuckle FC president David Feldman told MMA Junkie that a deal to sign Sanchez was almost finalized but not until he was medically cleared to compete.
Hopefully, he makes it out of this and does the right thing for his health going forward.
