UFC legend Diego Sanchez is currently in hospital with pneumonia. He has blood clots in both of his legs due to Covid.
The UFC's 39-year-old icon refused to be vaccinated and said, from his hospital bed, "Covid is not a motha f***in joke."
Mexican-Americans have spoken out about other treatments for the vaccine.
He was now seriously ill and he said that he would not give up on Pneumonia Covid.
"Blood clots on both of my legs.
"I have thousands upon thousands of prayers messages that I need to read while I am in the hospital again!" Very inspirational! I am receiving families, churches, and a lot more great people who put me in their hearts and take it to god the Father."
After feeling unwell, the ex-UFC star suggested alternative vaccines last week.
He stated that if you are eligible for regeneron antibodies, they work. It's been only 6 hours and I feel better.
"Do not wait to get the virus, it only gets worse. Get on it as soon as possible #covidmedicne.
"I'm going through it, but I can't really say that I'm sold on vax at this moment in time."
He added that he felt like a Navy SEAL during sleep deprivation hell weeks. My body is cleansing out all the poison, another sleepless night."
FANS SUPPORT
The UFC released Sanchez earlier in the year due to health concerns.
A record of 31-13-0 has been achieved by the lightweight and welterweight boxers.
Jake Matthews' 2020 defeat in unanimous decision was his last fight in the UFC.
Sanchez has received support from his fans who have taken the time and wished him well.
One said, "Heavenly Father, we ask for complete healing in Diego from top to bottom."
Another fan said, "You got this Diego!" Three rounds in the octagon filled with Clay Guida and covid pneumonia aren't bad, but it is nothing compared to having three rounds of Covid Pneumonia.
However, not all responses were positive.
One Twitter user joked that he could have prevented the situation by doing something.
