Very experienced Rampage Jackson, with a long-standing Japanese fan base takes on a hungry and highly motivated Ryan Bader on Sunday, February 26th at the Saitama Super Arena in UFC 144.
And Yushin Okami will be surely eager to show the fans his strength following his title shot defeat in Brazil.
Looking forward to all the fights on this card.
