One of the UFC’s longest-tenured fighters will take on a top prospect at UFC 235.
Officials announced Friday that Diego Sanchez will fight Mickey Gall in a welterweight bout at the March 2 pay-per-view set to take place at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.
Gall, 26, first mentioned wanting a fight with Sanchez back in August and both expressed interest in making the matchup happen. In five UFC outings, Gall has gone 4-1 with notable submission wins over Sage Northcutt and CM Punk. All of Gall’s pro victories have come by way of rear-naked choke.
