somthin tells me this is a good matchup for Tanner and somthing tels me this is a bad matchup. If he does win though, he'll jump right into contention for the title.

If he's prepared correctly, I say Tanner takes it. He has great grappling and clinch game, which is what Okami always goes for. If Okami leaves himself open, Tanner might actually sub him. I hope the 2 years of drinking hasn't affected his reaction time.

I met Tanner at the weigh-ins for fight night last tuesday at the palms. He definately looks like his lifestyle has taken a toll on him. I didn't even recognize him at first. He was real cool though. I really hope he wins, he would be a real shot in the arm for the 185 division.

yushin okami is da shit. hes definately one of the strongest middleweights in the division along side franklin. i definately see him winning this fight, perhaps even finishing tanner in round two. if so, just maybe another big win or two and we'll finally see the long awaited rematch between him and silva, that of course assuming silva beats hendo and i have all the faith in the world that'll happen.
