Announced earlier today on Diego Sanchez's twitter, Sanchez (22-3) will take on John Hathaway (12-0) at UFC 114 May 29th in Las Vegas. In the main event for UFC 114 it is likely that Rashad Evans and Quinton "Rampage" Jackson will finally square off.
"Finally got a opponent John Hathaway, he's 12-0, tough kid from the UK. We will be fighting May 29 in Vegas. Get it on!!", Diego Sanchez stated on twitter.
Diego Sanchez is coming off a technical knock out loss to BJ Penn at UFC 107 back in december. This will mark Diego's first trip back to welterweight in almost 2 years. Sanchez will need to get the job done and make a statement with this fight, and get back to his winning ways.
John Hathaway has gone 3-0 thus far in the octagon, and has yet to suffer defeat. In Hathaway's last bout he scored a unanimous decision victory over the always tough Paul Taylor. Win or lose Hathaway has nothing to lose and everything to gain in this fight.
