I don't understand why the UFC wouldn't employ a guy like Okami in the first place? He has name recognition and is cheap. Yeah he mostly grapples, but half of all undercard fights are garbage anyways. I'd rather see a guy I know than Joe Herzberger or some other random dude who'll be gone in a few weeks.
Okami basically saying he's gonna return to his blanket roots. He would stay in UFC longer losing by ko's than winning by lay and pray.
you can be my first pupil. We takin the belt.You would make an excellent coach.

Dhiego Lima has a UFC record of 1-5, if you can believe thats possible.
Everyone but Okami stopped him. Three of them Lima was KO'd in the first round. Dhiego Lima is not a UFC caliber fighter, and this shouldn't indicate anything about Okami's place in the sport.
I'm a long, long time fan of Yushin and he shouldn't be anywhere near ranked fighters. He's going to get hurt and I'd rather not see it. I honestly don't understand why he doesn't finish out the golden years of his career in Japan or even Bellator where he can fight people at his current level.

I don't know why, but Joe Herzberger seems like the most MMA name I've ever heard. Like I could hear that name and guess he's an MMA fighter...I don't understand why the UFC wouldn't employ a guy like Okami in the first place? He has name recognition and is cheap.

3rd round Videogame Boetsch is a beastI had money on that fight he was doing so well until Tim suddenly turned into a video game character with those Upper Cuts.
“Until this fight, I wasn’t really sure where I belonged,” “I have tried striking in my past fights, and it didn’t do too well,” Okami said. “So in terms of this fight, I decided I’m just going to do something I’m good at. And I wanted to show the fans that I’m here and that I’m pretty strong in this division.”
“To approach this fight, I was thinking that I could figure out where I belonged,” Okami said. “And I realized I was able to dominate the opponent, so I think I can do very well in this division. But I’m not young. I don’t want to take loo long to get there, so I want to try to fight a ranked fighter and get up to that ladder very quick to the title shot.”
“In terms of that fight against OSP, I consider it as God’s gift,” Okami said. “It would give me a chance to get back into the UFC. However, I’m a welterweight, so I consider this fight to be the real comeback fight in the octagon.”
“I actually thought I would never be fighting this old,” Okami said. “But I went through so many fights, I went through hardships, regret and also happiness. All these mixed feelings will give me motivation to keep on fighting and getting better.”
