I agree it will probaly go to decision. I like Okami alot but he is normally content to just ground and pound and Tanner has a good chin so I don't know if he will finish him. I think this fight will spend alot of time in the clinch. Both guys are real strong and Okami likes to look for takedowns from the clinch while Tanner loves knees and elbows. I see Okami getting sometakedowns and winning by decision.

fighting Okami makes it hard for me to feel Tanner will win this fight. Tanner is damn hard to finish, but since he's been out for so long i can picture Okami actually finishing him. i wouldnt be surprised if he TKOs Tanner. ill be rooting for Tanner, but im predicting Okami.

Very rough return bout for Tanner.

Tanner was my favorite MW back in the day; I hope he can return to that glory but the odds are against it.

I'm not a big Okami fan, so this one is easy to decide who I'm going to root for.

Rogan also stated that the UFC has been talking with Hayato “Mach” Sakurai, Norifumi “Kid” Yamamoto and Takanori Gomi amongst others, but as far as he is aware nothing is solid with any of them.

Gomi in the UFC would be cool for more than just Gomi-Penn II, which yes would rule. Gomi would be an incredible addition to the already stacked LW picture, and the fight-of-the-year candidate fights we get would go up even another notch.

I pick Tanner by TKO late second round.

Not even a fan of Tanner but i think he takes it.

Also Tanner got this fight because if i am not mistaken he said he wants to fight top comp.
