Looking for his third straight win in 2015, Gegard Mousasi will return to the Octagon at UFC Fight Night 77, event scheduled for Sept. 27 in Saitama, Japan, against Roan Carneiro. Sources told MMAFighting.com that the bout is agreed but contracts are yet to be signed. MMA Planet first reported the match-up.
Mousasi (37-5-2) bounced back from a third-round submission loss to Ronaldo Souza with a pair of wins in 2015, stopping MMA legend Dan Henderson in 70 seconds and scoring a unanimous decision victory over Costas Philippou.
