Prior to the UFC revealing that the Japanese standout would be squaring off with middleweight champion Anderson Silva at UFC Rio in August, our Japanese correspondent Stewart Fulton visited Yushin Okami to interview him and take in a training session at Real Japan Wrestling  gym in Tokyo.

Okami touched on a number of topics including the fact that he has been preparing for an inevitable showdown with Anderson, his training with Team Quest, Xtreme Couture and Yoshihiro Akiyama and his thoughts on a GSP-Silva super fight.

We will have an update in the coming days from “Thunder” now that the bout is official and we’re hoping to get his thoughts on Silva’s recent allegations that he faked being injured by an illegal upkick to get out of their 2006 Rumble on the Rock bout.
