Poor, poor Yushin Okami. Despite being the logical number one contender for Anderson Silva’s middleweight championship, Okami hasn’t come anywhere close to actually getting a title shot. 95% of that can be blamed on the fact that Okami isn’t a draw and doesn’t have the most exciting style in the world.
Okami was scheduled to face Dan Miller at UFC 98 in May, but not any more; he’s been forced to withdraw from the bout due to a leg injury. Ed Herman has agreed to replace Okami against Miller.
