UFC veteran Diego Sanchez has signed his last contract with the world’s first premier MMA organisation, UFC. He wants to end his career against Conor McGregor in a ‘dream’ fight. Scheduled against Jake Mathew at UFC 253. Sanchez hopes on making some big bucks before he hangs up his gloves in the octagon. Diego Sanchez is the last active cast member from Season 1 of “The Ultimate Fighter” competing in the UFC. He said he intends on joining the rest of his fellow “TUF” cast members in retirement once his contract is complete.  

The 38-year-old veteran plans on finishing his storied career after honouring the latest contract he signed with the UFC. Sanchez signed a new four-fight deal after becoming a free agent in late 2019.
