It will not be a welcome debut to the Octagon for former Bellator title contender Marcin Held, as he meets Diego Sanchez in Mexico at UFC Fight Night 98.

UFC Fight Night 98 takes place November 5 from Mexico City and airs on FOX Sports 1. In the main event, Rafael dos Anjos fights for the first time since losing the UFC lightweight title against top contender Tony Ferguson.
