LAS VEGAS — Twenty-four hours before UFC 126, the entire MMA world is anxiously awaiting the result of Anderson Silva vs. Vitor Belfort. Perhaps no one more so than Yushin Okami.
The Japanese middleweight has been promised a title shot against the winner of Silva-Belfort, and he told MMA Fighting on Friday that he expects Silva to walk away with the belt for a UFC record 8th consecutive time.

LAS VEGAS — It’s time to take the big step for either Jon Jones or Ryan Bader at UFC 126. They both can’t make it. One of them will move on and into the title picture, and the other will be left behind to pick up the pieces.
Until now it’s been smooth sailing for each. Bader — a former NCAA wrestling All-American — is a perfect 12-0 since turning pro in 2007, while Jones — also a collegiate wrestler — has only a minor blip on his 11-1 record, the only loss coming via disqualification for illegal elbows in a fight he was otherwise dominating. Each man also has a signature win. For Bader it was a unanimous decision over respected veteran Antonio Rogerio Nogueira at UFC 119; for Jones it was a first-round thrashing of Brandon Vera.
For two fighters who have had fairly parallel careers, it’s notable that oddsmakers and bettors have Jones as a more than 3-to-1 favorite. For those who don’t follow gambling, that’s a significant number that means Jones is an overwhelming pick to win.

LAS VEGAS — For the first time in his UFC career, Anderson Silva showed real vulnerability during his fifth-round submission victory over Chael Sonnen last August. For four-and-a-half rounds, Sonnen controlled the action with takedowns and groundwork. Given his wrestling pedigree, that development wasn’t necessarily a stunner. What was more surprising was the fact that Sonnen was able to use his standup so effectively, even hurting Silva with a solid left at one point in the first round.
For the longest time, it seemed that trading firepower with Silva was a sure way to seal defeat. No one’s ever outstruck him during his record 12-fight octagon win streak, and the man has always had an iron chin, but given the developments of Silva’s last fight as well as his advancing age (he’s three months shy of his 36th birthday), you have to wonder if it was a simple aberration or the beginning of a trend.
The man tasked with testing those possibilities at UFC 126 is Vitor Belfort, a 33-year-old Brazilian who is coming off a lengthy layoff from shoulder surgery following a first-round knockout of Rich Franklin. That win came way back in Sept. 2009, meaning Belfort will have to find a way to fight off ring rust and regain his past form in order to beat the longest-reigning champ in UFC history.
