On March 20, Beijing time, the UPcoming UFC Fighting Night 204 match was held at the O2 Gymnasium in London, the British capital, and Brazil's Claudio Silva regrettably withdrew due to a knee injury, and it has now been confirmed that Japan's Sato Ten will play against Iceland's Gunnar Nelson.
Sato Ten (16-4, 11 K, 2 S) is 31 years old and has a height of 178cm and an arm span of 185cm. He began his professional MMA career in 2013 and joined the UFC tournament in 2019 with a (14-2) result, the UFC debuted in the second set TKO Ben Saunders, and in September of the same year was defeated by Belal Muhammad in the third set.

He began his professional MMA career in 2007 and joined the UFC in 2012 with a (9-0-1) result, and has achieved a (8-5) result in the UFC so far. Among them, Santiago Ponzinibbio lost the first ko in July 2017, demoted Alex Oliveira in the second set in 2018, and suffered two consecutive defeats in 2019, losing points to Leon Edwards and Gilbert Burns. He did not compete for the next two years.
