UFC heavyweight Roy Nelson speaks to Inside MMA about his search for food in Japan.
An American fighter competing in an MMA event across the world in a foreign land can present its own unique sort of challenges. Consider the dietary concerns: Can one maintain the correct caloric intake while abroad? How about sodium intake during the hellish weight cutting process? Are all the necessary ingredients available?
While all those are legitimate concerns that worry combatants ahead of fight week, Roy Nelson is simply searching for good places to eat.
The UFC heavyweight is scheduled to headline the promotion's latest venture in Japan against Josh Barnett on Sep.
