Snapshot of the Day: Zuffa’s Japanese Contingent

The UFC, THQ and WOWOW held a joint press conference today in Tokyo to promote the Japanese broadcast of The Ultimate Fighter 9 (not 10) and release of “UFC Undisputed 2009.” A couple interesting notes came out of the session, which was attended by Zuffa’s top Japanese stars, as well as Tony Loiseleur, who gives us this via Twitter:

[Caol Uno] just announced he’ll be fighting Fabricio Camoes at UFC 106. Welcome to the UFC, “Morango!”

Furthermore, the [Yoshihiro AkiyamaWanderlei Silva] bout will likely happen @ UFC 110 or 111, Las Vegas, NV or Sydney, Australia, respectively.

Meanwhile, Takeya Mizugaki is still waiting for his next WEC opponent, and Yushin Okami fights Chael Sonnen at UFC 104 on October 24th. All four fighters have been training together at Akiyama’s recently-opened Team Cloud Gym, which houses a full cage.
