UFC veteran and current lightweight lost this past Saturday at UFC 171 to Myles Jury. The fight went the distance but Jury was clearly the winner after three rounds. Sanchez allowed Jury to bust up his face and get multiple takedowns. Although Sanchez seemed himself during the walkout, sporting his signature mean face and unleashing his crazed yelling, he failed to perform inside the cage.

Well, according to Sanchez via his Twitter, we now know why.

This was my own mistake I ordered it thinking I need red meat but raw was the wrong choice, I threw up first at at 2am & all day fight day.

I was weak and my performance showed it if you notice I don’t go for one takedown because I just didn’t have the strength,

People can talk all the shit they want. I didn’t bitch out. I chased him around and fought hard even at my worst. It just wasn’t my night.

So next time any of you guys want to enjoy some raw meat…just don’t.
