Josh Barnett is set to make his triumphant return to Japan this weekend as UFC comes back to Japan! “The War Master” and “Big Country” Roy Nelson will clash in the main-event of the card which is set to take place in the Saitama Super Arena.<\/p>\n

Barnett has not fought in the octagon since his loss to Travis Browne in 2013 and will be looking to prove he is still one of the best fighters in the world today. Nelson is looking to turn around a two fight losing streak in the heavyweight fight by sending Barnett to the mat with his big right hand.<\/p>\n

Gegard Mousasi will also be fighting in Japan for the first time since his last fight in DREAM. Mousasi held the light heavyweight and middleweight championships in the promotion and will be a good step up in competition for Uriah Hall.<\/p>\n
