The night before the UFC hosts the “biggest fight of the year,” a some MMA legends will be competing on the mats.

UFC officials recently announced that UFC Hall of Famer Kazushi Sakuraba’s Quintet grappling organization will make its U.S. debut Friday, Oct. 5 at Orleans Arena in Las Vegas, one night before UFC 229 is headlined by a lightweight title fight between champion Khabib Nurmagomedov and Conor McGregor.

Sakuraba launched Quintet earlier this year in his native Japan. Company officials describe their approach as “a unique team-based format sees teams of five face-off in single matches until all the members of one team have either been submitted or eliminated from the match by means of a time-limit draw (where both competitors are eliminated). Four teams will compete at the event, with the two winning semifinal squads then meeting in a finale match to decide the Quintet 3 champions.”

The four teams involved at Quintet 3 include Team Sakuraba – where the PRIDE favorite will be in action alongside Josh Barnett, Marcos Souza and Roberto Souza – as well as Urijah Faber’s Team Alpha Male, Quintet 1 champions Team Polaris, and Eddie Bravo’s Team 10th Planet, who claimed victory at Quintet 2.

For Faber, a UFC Hall of Famer, competing against Sakuraba is nothing short of a “dream come true.”
