On the evening&#8217;s main card, <a href=\"http:\/\/staging.tcpcharms.com\/bjpenn\/mma-news\/marcin-held\/marcin-held-signs-ufc\/\">Sanchez will welcome former Bellator title challenger Marcin Held to the UFC&#8217;s Octagon<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>When Sanchez and Held were squared up for the media, Sanchez resorted to the kind of crazed bravado that is generally reserved for a fight&#8217;s weigh-in ceremonies. Fists up and jaw clenched, The Ultimate Fighter 1 veteran got right in the face of his opponent and immediately the words began to fly.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><em>&#8220;Let&#8217;s get it, homie,&#8221; Sanchez said as he grilled his opponent. &#8220;Let&#8217;s get it, dog. It&#8217;s a fight. You&#8217;re going down, you&#8217;re going down, you&#8217;re going down.&#8221;\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>&#8220;Yeah, there it is,&#8221; Sanchez said when Held returned fire with a glare of his own. &#8220;There it is. That&#8217;s what&#8217;s up, that&#8217;s what I want! Give me some!&#8221;\u00a0<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Safe to say that Sanchez is attempting to get into his debuting opponent&#8217;s heads in advance of their Saturday night showdown. Based on the press conference footage at the top of this post, however, it&#8217;s hard to say if he was successful in this effort.<\/p>\n<p>Sanchez will enter this bout as the underdog, with a tough 2-3 record in his last 5 fights. In his most recent outing, he succumbed to <a href=\"http:\/\/staging.tcpcharms.com\/bjpenn\/mma-news\/ufc-results\/ufc-200-results-diego-sanchez-vs-joe-lauzon\/\">a first round TKO dealt by Joe Lauzon<\/a>. Prior to that, <a href=\"http:\/\/staging.tcpcharms.com\/bjpenn\/mma-news\/ufc-results\/ufc-196-results\/ufc-196-results-diego-sanchez-vs-jim-miller\/\">he took a competitive decision from fellow veteran Jim Miller<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Held, meanwhile, will enter the Octagon with a solid 22-4 overall record. The Bellator veteran was last seen in June when he defeated Dave Jansen by unanimous decision. Prior to that win, he gave up a decision to former Bellator champ and current UFC contender &#8220;Ill&#8217; Will Brooks.<\/p>\n<p>The UFC&#8217;s return to Mexico will be headlined by <a href=\"http:\/\/staging.tcpcharms.com\/bjpenn\/mma-news\/rafael-dos-anjos\/video-former-champ-rafael-dos-anjos-breaks-fight-tony-ferguson\/\">a lightweight contender bout between former champion Rafael Dos Anjos and the streaking Tony Ferguson<\/a>. Other highlights of the card include a featherweight bout between Ricardo Lamas and Charles Oliveira, a lightweight showdown between Beneil Dariush and\u00a0Rashid Magomedov, and the UFC debut of <a href=\"http:\/\/staging.tcpcharms.com\/bjpenn\/mmanews\/invicta-fc-10-results-alexa-grasso-vs-alida-gray\/\">Invicta star Alexa Grasso<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Do you think Sanchez can spoil Held&#8217;s debut?
