The September 27 event goes down inside Saitama Super Arena in Saitama.
In addition to battling inside the octagon, Barnett and Nelson will serve as coaches on the new television show, “Road to UFC: Japan.” The show features eight Japanese mixed martial artists competing against each other for the opportunity to win a UFC contract.
Sound familiar???
Road to UFC: Japan will air only in Japan.
Barnett and Nelson are both looking to get back on the winning track. Barnett hasn’t been seen since getting knocked out by Travis Browne in December 2013. He had won two strait prior to meeting Browne.
