man, have I been pretty upset with UFC match ups lately… it should’ve been bisping vs okami and tim buetsch vs chris weidman.
They’re spreading themselves too thin. Okami will probably win this.
Man too bad UFC tix are so damn expensive or I’d def be at this fight for Bendo n Edgar.
BRING THE THUNDER YUSHIN OKAMI!!!
hopefully Luiz Cane doesnt pressure him… Okami is my fav fighter, has been for awhile.. but the dude does not react well when he gets pressured… dominated Boestch for 2 rounds… then he said **** this, and just steamrolled right through Okami… Lets go Okami, get some nice finishes, and ull be back in the title hunt in no time…
WAR OKAMI!!!!!!!!!!!!!
