The main event for Eagle FC is official.
Former UFC headliners Kevin Lee and Diego Sanchez will square off in the 165-pound main event of Eagle FC 46, which takes place Friday at the FLXcast Arena in Miami, Fla and will stream on the FLXcast app.
Lee tipped the scales at 165. 8 pounds for the matchup, for which he is favored as high as a -800 on the current betting lines. “The Motown Phenom” will look to snap a two-fight skid and get back on track after losing four of his last five bouts prior to his release from the UFC.
Also,
Sanchez will make his promotion debut and try to rebound from the three-fight struggle inside the Octagon. “Nightmare” weighed in at 163. 2 pounds, and ended his UFC run with losses to Jake Matthews and Michael Chiesa, along with a DQ win over Michel Pereira after eating an illegal knee in February 2020 in a fight he was in jeopardy of losing on the scorecards.
