Three weeks ago it was flyweights headlining the action, but now we hit the opposite end of the spectrum as heavyweights Josh Barnett and Roy Nelson get set to throw hands for our enjoyment in the UFC Fight Night 75 main event.
Barnett hasn’t seen the inside of the cage since December 2013, and Nelson is just 1-4 in his previous five outings. Nevertheless, they sit as the No. 8 and No. 11-ranked contenders in the division, respectively. A win on Saturday puts one of them right back in the mix.
But that’s not all that’s happening in Saitama this weekend.
The UFC main card features five more contests. There will be plenty of fisticuffs for our pleasure on this main card, and it should be a night filled with action. Each of the bouts offers something of note, but who do the Bleacher Report experts like to win? Let’s take a look.
