Two of the hardest hitters in the heavyweight division are set to square off this September as Roy Nelson is expected to face Mark Hunt at an upcoming UFC Fight Night event in Japan.
The card is currently scheduled for September 20 at the Saitama Super Arena in Saitama, Japan with the show likely airing on the UFC's digital network, Fight Pass.
While the rumored fight has been talked about for weeks, the first official confirmation comes courtesy of MMAFighting.com.
Nelson (20-9) will get back in action after one of the biggest wins of his career back in April when he knocked out former UFC and PRIDE champion Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira in the first round of their fight in Abu Dhabi. The win snapped a two fight skid for Nelson, who now looks to pick up his second win in a row when he returns in September.
