The UFC is going international with two of its latest signings. French heavyweight Francis Ngannou is set to debut in December and Japanese lightweight Yusuke Kasuya debuts in Saitama on September 27.
Something seems to have clicked lately with the UFC and its desperate need for more talent in the heavier divisions. They've brought in three new light heavyweights in the last month and now they've got a new heavyweight talent coming over from the well regarded French Crossfight camp. Ngannou's signing was announced via Facebook and reported on MMADeferlante.com. From the sound of it, the heavyweight is on a 4-fight deal and is expected to make his debut sometime in or around December of this year.
