Middleweight star Yushin Okami defeated Anderson Silva by disqualification due to an illegal kick, sounds like he would like the opportunity to fight Anderson again and win more convincingly.
"I admit that I haven’t had the most exciting fights during my time in the UFC," Okami told Sherdog.com. "From this point forward, I want to try making them more exciting, but not at the expense of winning. To do that, I’ve stepped up my training in standup in particular, learning how to push forward and effect more damage…. [UFC Middleweight Champion Anderson] Silva and I have unfinished business. I want that rematch because it feels like our first fight didn’t end definitively. I want to finish him, once and for all….. I’d like to knock him out, certainly, but I also really want to submit him. I want to take him down and force him to submit. I want to make him tap out.”

Okami is more deserving of a title shot than Henderson. Henderson is coming off a loss and Okami beat his last opponent. But I guess it is all about the PPV dollars.

Okami isn't deserving of anything when it comes to a shot at Anderson. Check the video of anderson upkicking Okami. When the ref started to pull off Anderson, Okami took one look at Anderson and played dead just before the ref turned around. That's why Anderson started trying to go after Okami when the ref stopped it.

However, I do hope Okami gets a shot, because Anderson is going to put him in the hospital faster then a burn victim. Okami is Japan's version of Rich Franklin, and Anderson took Rich apart two times without breaking a sweat; Anderson's going break Okami down like a clogged bowel. PERIOD.

True Okami will loose, but he has fought his way up the ranks in the UFC and he deserves a title shot. Henderson is just riding on the coat-tails of his past glory to get a shot at Anderson.

Okami doesn't deserve to fight Silva but Henderson, is the Pride MW champ and what UFC is doing is unifying the belts. I think it is also a big payday for UFC cause it has two champions unifying the MW belt.
