Two former “The Ultimate Fighter” winners lock horns this weekend at UFC 239 when Season 15 winner Michael Chiesa takes on Season 1 winner Diego Sanchez in a welterweight bout.
While the card at this weekend’s event is stacked from top to bottom to conclude the festivities of International Fight Week, the bout between Chiesa and Sanchez has been earmarked as a must-watch fight and is set to kick off the main card in style.
Many critics believed that Sanchez was past his best after being knocked out in back-to-back fights against Al Iaquinta and Matt Brown in 2017 but the veteran has proved the critics wrong and bounced back with two wins over Craig White and most recently against Mickey Gall this March.
