UFC Fight Night 75 Weigh-in Results: Barnett vs. Nelson Good to Go
The Ultimate Fighting Championship returns to Saitama Super Arena in Japan for the first time in a year this week with UFC Fight Night 75: Barnett vs. Nelson, after Friday's (Saturday in Japan) weigh-ins made the bouts official.
The card is headlined by a five-round heavyweight showdown between Josh Barnett and Roy Nelson.
Barnett rose to prominence fighting for numerous Japanese organizations, most prominently as the King of Pancrase and during his time fighting for Pride FC, but also forged a strong fan base in professional wrestling.

Nelson, however, is not stranger to Japan either. In fact, the last time the UFC held an event at the Saitama Super Arena, last September, Nelson headlined the card opposite Mark Hunt. This time around, he'll be hoping for a much better outcome, as Hunt knocked Nelson out in the second round.
