UFC Fight Night 98 video recap: Diego Sanchez upsets Marcin Held

The original The Ultimate Fighter winner is still kicking.

Diego Sanchez walked into his co-main event fight against newcomer Marcin Held at UFC Fight Night 98 on Saturday night a man on a mission. Coming off a devastating stoppage loss from this past summer, "Nightmare" was a sizable underdog against the former Bellator MMA contender, but picked up a very impressive victory.

In the early going, Sanchez vs. Held was very back-and-forth; both fighters looked decent on the feet and mixed in a couple takedown attempts. But in the second and third rounds, the high elevation of Mexico City, Mexico got to Held, as he tired badly.
