Diego Sanchez brings the heat to faceoff with Michel Pereira

Heading into his 31st UFC fight, Diego Sanchez’s intensity levels have not dropped one iota.

Sanchez stared a hole through an energetic Michel Pereira, and “Demolidor” returned the gaze in kind, nearly going nose-to-nose with the original Ultimate Fighter at Friday morning’s official weigh-in staredowns for UFC Rio Rancho. The two meet in a welterweight bout in Saturday’s co-main event, which takes place in Sanchez’s home state of New Mexico.
