To celebrate, a star-studded fight card is being put together for the Yokohoma Gymnasium on Sept. 29, which will feature two title fights and the return of Marlon Sandro . Pancrase 252: 20th Anniversary will see Sandro (24-5) return to the organization after a five-year absence to face ZST veteran Yojiro Uchimura (11-6-2).  The Brazilian’s initially won the featherweight title in 2008 but vacated it last year. Since winning that title, Sandro has made a name for himself fighting for Bellator. He reached the final of three successive 145-pound tournaments, only to lose out at the expense of Pat Curran in 2011, Daniel Strauss in 2012, and Frodo Khasbulaev in 2013

But come fight night, Fabricio Werdum thinks fellow heavyweight Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira will be the clear crowd favorite. “For sure, the fans will be divided since we’re both Brazilian, though without a doubt, ‘Minotauro’ has many more fans in Brazil due to his storied career,” Werdum told MMAjunkie.com (www.mmajunkie.com). “He started well before me and had many excellent victories while representing Brazil.” Werdum, who headlines Saturday’s FUEL TV-televised event at Paulo Sarasate Arena in the city of Fortaleza, specifically points to Nogueira’s time in PRIDE. Like fellow Brazilian Wanderlei Silva , the since-shuttered Japanese promotion made an international star out of Nogueira.
