Japan will host a smaller UFC event series in 2013.

The series likely will include four shows in 2013, Mark Fischer, executive vice president and managing director of the UFC’s Asian Operations division, told Nikkan Sports.

The shows are targeted for smaller 5,000-seat arenas and won’t use the UFC’s traditional event numbering, likely similar to UFC on FX and UFC on FUEL TV.
