First off I know it is subjective but the judges got it right giving it to Okami maybe not 30-27 but 29-28 definitely. Anderson Silva and Vitor Belfort would be a tough fight for anyone but Okami might be able to grind out a decision victory by playing it safe and wall & stall and lay & pray like what Chael Sonnen did. In fact he trains with Team Quest with Sonnen also trains. Okami is a strong and big middleweight and has excellent wrestling and judo. His striking has improved but not where close to Silva or Belfort. I don’t think he is a favorite but he has a shot unlike say someone like Demian Maia.
