If you’re not too familiar with Riki Fukuda, that’s OK.
His opponent, Nick Ring, doesn’t seem to be a huge Fukuda fan, either.
And yet Ring – himself still a bit of a mystery –
welcomes Fukuda to the octagon on the preliminary card of this weekend’s
UFC 127 event in Australia.
Ring admits his Japanese opponent is a bit of an unknown commodity, but
as his first official bout in 16 months on the horizon, the Canadian
middleweight is more worried about imposing his own game than reacting
to Fukuda’s.
