Recent lightweight title challenger Diego Sanchez made waves in January when he teased a potential return to the
welterweight division, and now it appears he’ll make good on that
promise.
Sanchez today posted on his Twitter account that he will face 170-pound Brit John
Hathaway at the as-yet-unannounced UFC 114 event.
Although not yet officially announced by the organization, UFC 114 is
expected to take place on May 29 at Mandalay Bay Events Center in Las
Vegas in conjunction with the UFC’s second-ever fan expo. “The Ultimate
Fighter 10” coaches Rashad Evans and Quinton “Rampage” Jackson are
expected to face off in the evening’s main event.
