This Saturday, the UFC returns to the Japan for the first time in over a decade, as a lightweight title tilt pitting champion Frankie Edgar against Benson Henderson is set to rock the Saitama Super Arena.
Thought the 155-pound class is eclipsing the talent-laden event, many notable matchups deserve to garner high praise, most notably a heavyweight collision pitting touted striker Cheick Kongo against Pride veteran Mark Hunt.
Both men have produced tantalizing knockouts over the years and are widely regarded as two of the best strikers in their division, though many other combatants deserve that same distinction.
