ll certainly be looking for a statement win in this fight, but depending on which Naoyuki Kotani shows up, that could be easier said than done.

The Kanagawa, Japan, native recently defeated Katsuhiko Nagata with a second round submission at a small show in Tokyo. It marked the 14th time in his career that he was victorious with a submission. Before that, however, he was on a four fight winless streak, which included dropping back-to-back contests in the UFC to Thiago Tavares and Dennis Siver at UFC Fight Night 9 and UFC 75: "Champion vs. Champion," respectively.

"War at the Shore" will also feature former Elite XC featherweight champion and Brazilian jiu-jitsu stud Wilson Reis (6-0), as well as highly regarded female fighter Tara Larosa (15-1).

Reis will take on Josh Ferguson (6-1) who is also a solid submissions artist, claiming all six of his career wins by way of tap out. It should be a very technical fight, and Reis is always a treat to watch.

Larosa's opponent is yet to be named. On fight night it will be a day short of 14 months since the last time she fought. At one time she was widely considered to be the top female mixed martial artist in the world, but in her absence we've seen the emergence of other stars such as Gina Carano and Cris Cyborg who have filled her void just fine.

She'll no doubt look to bring the attention back her way with a strong showing in this fight. Expect a big performance from her regardless of who they announce as her opponent.

Tickets for the event can still be had through the usual outlets such as Stubhub.com. If you live in the Atlantic City area you might want to check it out ... it's looking like a solid lineup of mixed martial arts action.
