Yushin Okami vs Anderson Silva Live: Watch Yushin Okami vs Anderson Silva Live Match: Anderson Silva is the finest. That’s really all you can say about the guy. He’s the finest fighter in MMA ever and later tonight, there aren’t any true competitions for him at 185 outside of the Chael Sonnen rematch should he defeat Brian Stann at UFC 136. Fights against Brian Stann, Mark Munoz, and Chris Leben do not truly seem all that interesting and the longer he fights the more upset I’m that somebody will pick up a win because he got old and not because they were the superior fighter.
Editorial aside, tonight’s performance is finest described as Anderson Silva being Anderson Silva. He took his time in the 1st round as he often does in order to get Yushin Okami’s timing. When Okami clinch up versus the cage, he was battered with a few knees to the body that caused his ribs to bruise a shade of pink showing the damage that Anderson can do. He took his time, maybe savoring the moment of having an arena full of Brazilians cheer and sing for him.
It felt much wish a soccer match. The round finished with him almost finishing the fight with a head kick. In the 2nd, we saw what makes Anderson the finest fighter ever. His ability to slip punches is stuff of legend with his head movement keeping Okami at a distance. He dropped Yushin with what looked to be a jab but let the Japanese fighter back to his feet. He then dropped Okami again and this time he did not give Thunder any time to recover.
Battering him with punches, knees, and elbows to the body, the referee was forced to stop the fight for the sake of fighter safety. There’s not much else to say truly. Anderson is the biggest UFC fighter in the history of the organization. He’s the most decorated champion and the winningest fighter. He’s undefeated in the promotion with a record of 14-0. His overall fight record is 31-4. He’s defended the middleweight belt 9 times. Yushin Okami was supposed to be a legitimate challenger for Anderson. Massive for a middleweight, he had the tools to make tis an interesting fight. Unfortunately for him, he just Is not on the same level as the Brazilian fighter. At 10-3 in the company, he’s one of the top middleweights in the sport. The loss definitely drops him down the ladder and he needs to build his way back up in the division.
