For Pearson, who returns to the cage following an injury layoff, his introduction to Sanchez was in 2009 at The Ultimate Fighter 9 Finale, where the inaugural “TUF” winner fought Clay Guida. The fight made quite an impression. “That was like, ‘S–t, these guys are for real,’” said Pearson, who that night won the Season 9 reality-show tourney and kicked off his octagon career. “This is what I worked to, and finally, I’m here.” For Sanchez, the acquaintance is more recent.
