The world-famous Octagon returns to Mexico this evening, as UFC Fight Night 98 emanates live from Mexico City, airing free on FOX Sports 1 (FS1) with a fight card headlined by Rafael dos Anjos vs. Tony Ferguson.
RDA makes his first Octagon appearance since losing the UFC Lightweight Championship to Eddie Alvarez earlier this year. Ferguson, meanwhile, looks to secure a much-deserved opportunity at the same UFC 155-pound title that he has been itching closer and closer to with each fight.
In the co-featured bout, Ricardo Lamas makes his fighting return against highly-regarded contender Charles Oliveira, who missed weight by an astonishing nine pounds. Regardless, the Lamas-Oliveira bout is still on, and should be a crowd-pleasing semi-final bout on tonight’s card.
Additionally, former Ultimate Fighter season one winner and longtime contender Diego Sanchez makes his return against up-and-comer Marcin Held. Below is the complete lineup for tonight’s show. Make sure to refresh this page often to view the latest fight results.

If the whole Hollywood thing doesn’t quite work out for Ronda Rousey after her UFC days are done, the WWE is definitely interested.
Stephanie McMahon, a minority owner in the pro wrestling promotion, recently told TMZ that they are very interested in acquiring Rousey after she hangs up the gloves.
“I certainly hope so,” McMahon said of signing Rousey. “I gotta get her back from when she put me in that armbar. I’m certainly going to try (to sign her).
“I’ll just leave it at that.”
Rousey, who is set to face Amanda Nunes at UFC 207 in December, has appeared at a handful of pro wrestling events. She was also at WrestleMania 31 with Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson in a segment with McMahon and her husband, “Triple H.”
