Hmm… That sucks i was ready to see him fight again to. Shame really.
I read elsewhere that it will be Ed Herman. Not positive though. Wouldn’t mind seeing Kang again. Or Quarry.
could be gouveia. i’d too like to see kang or quarry again but not herman. Anyone know the status on goran rejlic?
man okami is never going to get a title shot at this rate oh and gouviea is fighting sonnen at 102
This sucks. I was really looking forward to seeing Okami come back.
Okami won’t be getting a title shot anytime soon, it sucks that he is injured.. I like Yushin but damn stop getting injured and ruining your oppritunities….. We shall see if he ever gets another shot at Anderson, and just to continue on that.. I like when people who have never seen the Anderson Silva v Yushin Okami fight, say that Yushin was whooping Silva’s assss… I find it rather funny, anyways I hope Yushin comes back strong and has a great fight when he returns
FR702 Yah I know those peeps, they are the same ones that think Fedor is overrated, and Machida is a runner.
