Longtime Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) veteran and winner of The Ultimate Fighter (TUF) season one, Diego Sanchez, will make his featherweight debut against former division title contender Ricardo Lamas at UFC Fight Night 78 on FOX Sports 1, which goes down later tonight (Sat., Nov. 21, 2015) inside Arena Monterrey in Monterrey, Mexico.
Sanchez (25-7) hasn't been seen since capturing a highly-controversial split decision win over Ross Pearson in mid-2014, one that snapped a two-fight losing streak. "The Dream" was expected to return to the Octagon later that year; however, a broken collarbone gave him pause.
Lamas (15-4) is looking to rebound from his technical knockout loss to top title contender Chad Mendes, who put him on ice last April.
