UFC Fight Night: Hunt vs. Nelson (also known as UFC Fight Night 52) is an upcoming mixed martial arts event to be held on September 20, 2014 at Saitama Super Arena in Saitama, Japan.[1] Initially, the UFC stated that this fight would be held on Sunday September 21,[2] though this was later corrected.
Background
The event will be the third that the organization has hosted in Saitama, following UFC 144: Edgar vs. Henderson in February 2012 and UFC on Fuel TV: Silva vs. Stann in March 2013.
The event is expected to be headlined by a heavyweight bout between Roy Nelson and Mark Hunt.[3][4]
Tatsuya Kawajiri was briefly linked to a matchup at the event with Darren Elkins, but the bout never materialized as Kawajiri was sidelined indefinitely with a detached retina.[5]
Chris Cariaso was originally scheduled to face Kyoji Horiguchi at the event.[6] However, Cariaso was pulled from the bout with Horoguchi in favor of a matchup with current flyweight champion Demetrious Johnson at UFC 177.[7] Horiguchi is now expected to face Jon Delos Reyes.[8]
Kyle Noke was expected to face Yoshihiro Akiyama at the event, but eventually was forced out of the bout with a knee injury.[9] Akiyama is now expected to face Amir Sadollah.[10]
Urijah Faber was briefly linked to a bout with Masanori Kanehara at the event. However, before the bout was officially announced, Faber was removed due to injury and Kanehara will now face Alex Caceres.[11]
