Diego Sanchez Responds To Guillard’s ‘Fake Stories’, Melvin Says Media ‘Twisting’ Words

While promoting his upcoming co-main event against Ross Pearson, Melvin Guillard gave up some training room secrets about his former teammate Diego Sanchez during a media event in Manchester this week.

“I used to drop Diego Sanchez in practice all the time,” said ‘The Young Assassin’. “When I hit people, I hurt people. That’s just what I do.”

Coming off his ‘fight of the decade’ performance against Gilbert Melendez, Diego Sanchez wasn’t feeling the comments by his former training partner and took to twitter with the following:

Since Melvin’s comments have come to light, he has issued a bit of a retraction, stating that the media has taken his words out of context:
