This event features two heavy weight sluggers, Josh "The Warmaster" Barnett against Roy "Big Country" Nelson. The other interesting match up is Kyoji Horiguchi versus Chico Camus.
Josh "The Warmaster" Barnett has a record of 33 wins and 7 losses. The Warmaster has 2 wins and 1 loss in the last three matches. In January 2013, Barnett caught Nandor Guelmino in a Triangle Choke. In August 2013, Josh Barnett Tko'd Frank Mir. In his last fight almost two years ago, Barnett was knocked out by Travis Browne.
Rory "Big Country" Nelson has a record of 20 wins and 11 loses. Big Country has 1 win and 2 losses. His story of the last three fights, he defeated Antonio Nogueira by Knock out in April, 2014. Then Nelson was knocked out by Mark Hunt in September of 2014. In his last fight, Big Country was defeated by Allstair Overeem by decision.
Whew, this is tough call. I definitely believe it will be a rumble between the two. I believe Josh Barnett will make a come back and knockout Roy Nelson in the first round. But I wouldn't be surprised if it turns out to be the other way around.
The other match up I am interested in is Kyoji Horiguchi versus Chico Camus. For some odd reason, I want to call Camus, Chico Camel. Don't know why maybe to amuse myself. Anyways, Horiguchi has a record of 15 wins and 2 losses. Horiguchi has 2 wins and 1 loss in his last three fights and here is how it played out. In 2014, Horiguchi TKO'd Jon delos Reyes. In January 2015, Kyoji defeated Louis Gaudinot by decision. Horiguchi in his last fight, got caught in an armbar submission by no other than the Flyweight Champion Demetrious Johnson.

Chico "King" Camus has a record of 14 wins and 6 losses. Camus has 1 win and 2 losses in his last three fights and here is how the story went. In May 2014, was defeated by Chris Holdsworth by decision. Then in November 2014, Camus won a split decision against Brad Pickett. Then in Camus's last fight he lost a ddecision to Henry Cejudo.
It doesn't appear that Camus has been doing too well. I am expecting Horiguchi to bounce back and knock out Camus in the second round. These match ups should provide some solid mixed martial arts action in the Land of the Rising Sun.
