Damn that is a tough first fight for Held. Diego ain't getting subbed and he can go a full 15 minutes no problem. Unless Held can beat him in striking I can see Sanchez sqeaking by with a UD here

 

[beephin]

Diego will be fighting at UFC 300.

WAR DIEGO!

 

[Dyno-fists]

I will take Held in this one. Diego hasn't been the same since he became the Dream from the Nightmare. Dude is old and probably has brain damage from all the wars he has been in.

 

[Cry0Therapy737]

Diego is done.

Held by whatever he wants.

 

[Tamriel Terror]

hopefully held wins via sub. Pretty tough first fight, but Diego isn't exactly in his prime.

Would've prefered Lauzon for Held.

 

[Arm Barbarian]

Held gonna turn Sanchez Patellas into

 

[Just Creed]

I'm not so convinced Diego carries on surviving for 15 minutes anymore. Lauzon has maybe cracked that chin

 

[Natesblackshirt]

Much better than that Masvidal Gastelum fight. Sanchez has never been subbed in MMA so this should be interesting.

 

[sonhow]

I think Held by dec

Translation from Spanish

The legendary Diego Sanchez will finally fight in Mexico City and will welcome Marcin Held at UFC Fight Night Dos Anjos vs Ferguson event will be held next Saturday November 5 in Mexico City Arena. Diego Sanchez participated in UFC 200 but could not get the win against Joe Lauzon, and seek to return this way in Mexico. Diego won the show The Ultimate Fighter in 2005 when he beat Kenny Florian, and since then has been an icon of the Octagon.

His opponent Marcin reaches the UFC with a spectacular record of 22-4-0 in which include 12 wins by submission and it's up debut against an experienced Sanchez, who has waited long for fighting in the capital of Mexico, after failing he could do the first time. This will be a fight at lightweight.

 

[GrAtI]

Held UD

 

[Chramelated]

Rip Sanchez, first time tko'd his last fight, first time sub'd this fight.

 

[ga_ninja]

Why is Diego still in the UFC, he wouldn't even be top 15 in Bellator.

 

[KhabibTheBeagle]

hopefully held wins via sub. Pretty tough first fight, but Diego isn't exactly in his prime.

Would've prefered Lauzon for Held.

Held vs. Lauzon, holy fuck, that would be insane

Held does not need to submit people to win anymore. If you've seen him in recent years he can win on the feet or win with wrestling and control. Held is the clear favorite in this matchup.

 

[EndlessCritic]

hopefully held destroys him, although diego is a tough matchup for anyone with a grappling heavy style.
