Promotion officials announced the featherweight clash, which will be part of the main card, on Wednesday. Bellator 149 takes place at Toyota Center and is headlined by a trilogy bout between Royce Gracie and Ken Shamrock. Meanwhile, Kimbo Slice and Dhafir "Dada 5000" Harris will square off in the co-main event. The main draw airs on Spike TV beginning at 9 p.m. ET/8 p.m. CT.

Anchored at Roufusport, Sanchez has established himself as a person of interest in the Scott Coker-led promotion with victories in four of his first five appearances. Most recently, “El Matador” took a hard-fought split verdict against ex-UFC talent Justin Lawrence at Bellator 145 on Nov. 6.

A seven-time UFC veteran, Pineda enters the matchup on a three-fight winning streak, with all of those triumphs coming under the Legacy Fighting Championship banner. Pineda had a brief two-fight stint in Bellator from 2009 to 2010, losing both of his appearances.
