RIO DE JANEIRO – He’s been called the best fighter to ever come out of Japan, but he doesn’t feel that way. Not yet.
Right now, Yushin Okami is a UFC middleweight
challenger in a city that’s patiently tolerating his presence as part of
a hero’s hometown welcome.
But in a fight he considers “destiny,” Okami said his role will change
when he beats champ Anderson Silva at UFC 134.
Then, he’ll not only be a champion, but he will live up to his billing.
