OBERHAUSEN, Germany – The winner of UFC 122’s middleweight headliner between Nate Marquardt and Yushin Okami will vie for the 185-pound title sometime in mid to late 2011, according to UFC officials.
That title is up for grabs at UFC 126 with current kingpin Anderson Silva defending his title for a record eighth time against challenger Vitor Belfort.
But while Marquardt doesn’t care whom is next if he wins, Okami clearly wants another shot at Silva.
