The event will be headlined by a light heavyweight clash between Brian Stann and Wanderlei Silva. Stann, who has been competing as a middleweight, says the move up a weight class is only temporary due to a lack of available fights at 185lbs.
The co-main event will feature a heavyweight battle between Stefan Struve and Mark Hunt. Both fighters are riding winning streaks as they look to solidify their position in the heavyweight ranks.
UFC Managing Director Mark Fischer commented on the quickly filling fight card, “We’re delighted to bring a world-class card with a distinctly local flavor back to Japan. This exciting mix of former Pride champions, contenders from various weight divisions, and up-and-coming stars from the region is sure to entertain all our fans here – whether old or new to the sport.”
