No longer a UFC fighter, Rin Nakai is heading home for her next bout.
Japanese promoter Pancrase on Tuesday announced that Nakai has been booked to compete at Pancrase 279, the company’s July 24 card at Differ Ariake arena in Tokyo.
Nakai, 29, completed the second and final fight on her UFC contract in March, when she came up on the wrong end of a three-round decision against Leslie Smith. The loss moved Nakai’s mark to 0-2 in the UFC women’s bantamweight division, having previously dropped a unanimous nod to current champion Miesha Tate.
