Gegard Mousasi may be nearly six thousand miles from his home in Leiden, but when he steps into the Octagon at Saitama Super Arena on Saturday to face Uriah Hall, it’s as close to a home game as any non-Japanese fighter is going to get.
“I always enjoy fighting in Japan,” Mousasi, a veteran of 14 bouts in the Land of the Rising Sun, said. “I’ve had good memories and great experiences there, and it’s where my career took off. So I’m more than ready. I know I’m going to put on a good show and get the win.
