Jake Rossen examines WEC 52 and UFC 122:
Is Yushin Okami “guaranteed” anything?
UFC President Dana White promises that the winner of Saturday’s Yushin Okami/Nate Marquardt bout will get a crack at Anderson Silva’s middleweight title. (Both men have fought Silva before: Marquardt lost, Okami notched a nothing win via disqualification when Silva landed an illegal kick.)
But one tremendous obstacle stands in Okami’s way: himself. Despite spending four years in the UFC and losing only twice in 11 bouts, his fight style -- at times conservative, muted, dragging -- has netted few fans.

That’s like asking if you’d prefer getting kicked in the face over a foot massage.
