Chael Sonnen Yushin Okami returns to the UFC holding a 234 record with ten decisions

Chael Sonnen Yushin Okami returns to the UFC holding a 23-4 record with ten decisions, eight Knock Outs and four submissions to his name. Inside the octagon he has gone 7-1 with victories over Mick Swick and the late Evan Tanner His only loss was to RichFranklin. Chael Sonnen is a seasoned veteran with a 23-10-1 record; thirteen having gone the distance, seven KO's and three submissions. It baffles me as to why Okami and Sonnen are on the undercard here; these are established fighters that have been in the UFC for a while now and furthermore this is one of the most intriguing fights on the card. Both of these fighters have gone the distance in their fights more than any other way of winning and I can see this one going to a decision also.

If it stays on feet Okami certainly has the edge with much better striking than Sonnen; but Sonnen only has one TKO loss to his name which was due to a cut. I think though this one will go the distance with Okami coming out on top Antoni Hardonk vs. Pat Barry also returns with redemption in mind, he holds a 4-1 record with all four of his victories coming via Knock Out. Barry also had a Kick-Boxing record being much more successful than his opponent and going 9-6-1 before making the move into MMA In his last MMA fight he lost to TimHague. These are two big men looking to bounce back in a devastating fashion; this is a recipe for a first round Knock Out if I've ever seen one! Both men are great on their feet and it all comes down to who will make the first mistake –and if their opponent is quick enough to capitalize on it. Personally I'm giving this one to Pat Barry who is a much more accurate striker with absolutely huge power in his hands Anthony Johnson vs. Yoshiyuki Yoshida Anthony "Rumble" Johnson returns to the octagon riding a two fight win streak; his overall record is 7-2 with five Knock Outs and two submissions to his name.

He has gone 4-2 inside the octagon with wins over Tommy Speer & most recently Luigi Fiorivanti. YoshiyukiYoshida holds an 11-3 record with six Knock Outs, three Submissions and two have gone the distance. This one is another hard call –I think Yoshida will be counted out by the vast majority of viewers, but I think there is an element of surprise here because he poses many threats to Johnson. Despite this I am still going with Rumble Johnson, he has power and speed in his hands and will be able to keep it standing and use that to his advantage. Yoshida has a great chin and I don't see him going down so I'll give it to Johnson via Decision. Joe Stevenson vs.
