I don't know how many have heard this. And would like someone to confirm this if true. If it's true it makes absolute sense why Diego did so shitty in his last fight.
According to the rumor, Diego was actually going to be retired the day before the weight right before the weigh ins, the doctors believed at the time that Diego contracted Hepatitis-C. They later did more test and decided it wasn't Hepatitis-C and cleared Diego to fight. However Diego the day after the fight showed what to be a very serious staph in infection in his thigh.
Rumor has it that Diego's next fight will be against Hayato “Mach” Sakurai in UFC 74.
