Filed under: Featured , News , UFC Yes, everyone’s looking forward to Nov. 12, when the UFC makes its long-awaited return to New York and its debut at Madison Square Garden. But before the promotion hits Midtown Manhattan for UFC 205, it’s in Mexico City for Saturday’s UFC Fight Night 98 event. In the main event, highly ranked lightweight contenders Rafael dos Anjos and Tony Ferguson face off in a bout that means a lot to the 155-pound division. Just how much it means will become more evident after UFC 205 plays out and we find out if lightweight champion Eddie Alvarez retains that title or if featherweight champ Conor McGregor leaves New York City with two UFC belts over his shoulder. In UFC Fight Night 98’s co-main event, Diego Sanchez welcomes former Bellator title contender Marcin Held , who was 12 when Sanchez won the first season of “The Ultimate Fighter,” to the UFC.
