Emil Meek is one of just a few fighters to experience the methods of Diego Sanchez’s controversial coach Joshua Fabia first-hand.<\/p>\n
He opened up on those methods in a recent interview with South China Morning Post<\/a>.<\/p>\n \u201cOriginally, I was trying to get a fight with Diego,\u201d Meek said of his work with Fabia. \u201cThen he got a different one and I got a different one. Then he wrote me on Instagram and asked if I wanted to work out when he was in Vegas, and I figured, hell yeah, let\u2019s do it. Then I asked him if his ninja coach is going to be there with him on he\u2019s like, \u2018yeah, there’s no other way\u2019.<\/p>\n \u201cHow can I put this,\u201d Meek continued. \u201cI went in full-belief mode: everything they tell me to do, I\u2019m going to do it 100 per cent.<\/p>\n \u201cMan, it was the craziest s**t I\u2019ve ever done. At one point, Joshua, he was running after us in a locked cage with a real, sharp blade, to make us move.\u201d<\/p>\n During an appearance on The Schmozone<\/em> with The Schmo and Helen Yee<\/a>, Fabia responded to these comments from Meek. As you probably predicted, he was not happy.<\/p>\n Joshua Fabia defends his training methods and criticism from @emilvalhalla<\/a> #TheSchmozone<\/a> @TheSchmo312<\/a> @HelenYeeSports<\/a> Full episode here \u2014-> https:\/\/t.co\/JbgIxoX1nt<\/a> pic.twitter.com\/qbQ5KCRHbJ<\/a><\/p>\n — The Schmozone (@TheSchmozone) March 1, 2020<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n
