Thin Nakai? Bulky bug lady drops weight following UFC goose eggs, eyes Tokyo tussle on July 24

UFC roster? Rin there, done that.

Longtime Japanese mixed martial arts (MMA) fighter Rin Nakai, 29, is shedding some of her trademark bulk (sample) after coming up empty in a pair of trips to the Octagon. Unfortunately, she won't be doing it under the ZUFFA banner now that her contract is complete, but no worries, she already has a new fight lined up in Japan.

Who says you can't go home again?

Nakai will make her flyweight debut against an opponent to be named at the upcoming Pancrase 279 event, taking place on July 24, 2016 inside Differ Ariake arena in Tokyo, according to Sherdog.
