Former light heavyweight champion Gegard Mousasi will make his return to the ring after his loss to King Mo Lawal in April, taking on Jake O’Brien at DREAM.15 from the Saitama Super Arena In Saitama, Japan. The bout is scheduled for July 10, this according to MMAFighting.
Mousasi is coming off a tough loss to King Mo, his first after having amassed 15 consecutive victories. Look for Mousasi to make a strong statement against O’Brien.
O’Brien, a former UFC fighter who last lost to UFC top prospect Jon Jones, is considered a very good test for Mousasi and has faced some big name fighters during his career.
This should be a good challenge for both fighters, with mixed martial arts fans sure to want to see if Mousasi can return to his winning ways.
Here’s the DREAM.15 card as it currently stands:
Lightweight Championship bout: Shinya Aoki vs. Tatsuya Kawajiri
Lightweight bout: Gesias Cavalcante vs. Katsunori Kikuno
Light Heavyweight Grand Prix semi-final: Melvin Manhoef vs. Tatsuya Mizuno
