Recently released UFC fighters Nam Phan and Will Chope will both be back in action at the Differ Ariake Arena in Tokyo on Feb. 1 when they take on Japanese opponents at Pancrase 264. Phan (20-14) has been rewarded for his submission win over Yuki Baba at Pancrase 261 last year with an immediate title shot and will be facing reigning featherweight King of Pancrase Takumi Nakayama (19-14-6-1) in the main event. Co-headlining the card will be another 145-pound bout, which pits the well travelled Will Chope (21-7) against Satoshi Inaba (14-8-3) with the latter on a fine run of form having won six out of his last seven fights and the former having won two out of three since his UFC release.
