The UFC heads to Japan this Saturday, September 26 for UFC Fight Night 75.
The event is headlined by a heavyweight tilt between Josh Barnett and Roy Nelson.
Barnett, a veteran of the defunct Japan-based Pride FC organization, has posted a 1-1 record in his latest UFC stint. He has been out of action since December 2013 but retains the No. 8 ranking in the heavyweight division.
Nelson, ranked No. 11 at heavyweight, is in need of a victory after earning just a single W over his last five bouts. During that time he has dropped three decisions and suffered a knockout loss.
In the co-main event of the evening Gegard Mousasi will face off against Uriah Hall. Mousasi has won back-to-back fights, most recently decisioning Costas Philippou. Hall is also coming off a win and has been successful in four of his last five matches.
