Nate Marquardt and also Yushin Okami will get the spotlight of the Octagon on Saturday November 13th in Oberhausen Germany as the main fighters in the UFC 122 lines competition. Both of these men have viewed lots of MMA competition and have competed several UFC events.



However next Saturday’s bout at the UFC 122 betting event could be the most significant fighting contest of either man’s career. That these 2 fighters are main in the headline fight of a UFC Main Event is a bit of a nice shock for both of these fighters who have otherwise been forgotten by a lot of individuals in the sport.

With a career record of 30-9-2 Marquardt has been a testimony to toughness. Very few fighters attain the 40 fight level in their career and the fact that the Wyoming native, Marquardt, has reached that fighting landmark by the age of 31 says a good deal about his durability and toughness. His career record of 30-9-2 is a lot better than most fighters but it’s still not pretty excellent enough to distinguish himself from the remainder of the weight class and earn “elite” status in the UFC.

His UFC 122 lines opponent, Yushin Okami, is yet another experienced vet of MMA competition and at 29 years of age has thirty career MMA bouts under his belt. His record of 25-5 is impressive but he does not have any major victories over an proved competitor in the UFC. In fact, the largest name he’s competed since signing with the UFC is very likely Chael Sonnen, who defeated Okami pretty handily and won by unanimous decision in October of last year.

The main saving grace of this fight is the likelihood that the champ will go onto challenge Anderson Silva for the championship. However, both fighters have had their chance at Silva in the past, and both didn’t impress. Marquardt got his opportunity in July 2007 at UFC 73. He lost the tournament that night by technical knockout as a result of strikes. Okami was previously planned to confront Anderson Silva throughout UFC 90 but was forced to withdraw as a result of a broken hand. Either of these fighters taking on such a legend at this point will almost certainly be a let down, and not just because Silva will almost certainly wipe the mat with them. Even if one of them gets the possibility, and regardless if they are able to win the fight vs Silva, it will seem that the belt was taken from him by somebody who tripped into honor.

Neither one of these fighters is entering the UFC Hall of Fame and so for them to have a possibility at the championship at this stage in their career and headlining the UFC 122 lines competition is very likely over either would have imagined feasible.

In terms of matching up, Marquardt has played the hardest tournament in his career and he has victories over greater opponents. Okami has much better his striking and other sides of this combat, yet Marquardt has the advantage in durability and endurance.

Expect this fight to go the distance and for Marquardt to overcome in this UFC 122 betting game.
