UFC Japan prelims results: Nakamura comeback win saves underwhelming undercard

Keita Nakamura picked up a huge come-from-behind submission win in the featured preliminary bout of UFC Fight Night: Barnett vs. Nelson.

The first three preliminary bouts of UFC Fight Night: Barnett vs. Nelson didn't exactly get the crowd out of their seats, but the last one sure did. After enduring some plodding kickboxing and weak grappling for a while, Keita Nakamura and Li Jingliang took the fight all over the cage and just when one man seemed to be doomed, he pulled off a fabulous comeback and got a submission win out of nowhere.
