Anderson Silva vs Yushin Okami UFC RIO

Anderson Silva vs Yushin Okami UFC Rio

Who will win this? Suppose your thinking Yushin has a chance after what we saw from a similar fighter (Chael Sonnen) who fought Anderson for the belt? Well, your right, Yushin does have a chance, but he will probably be facing a more prepared Silva with less injuries. Its a tough fight for anyone.

For Yushin to win this, he has to provide pressure, pushing Silva up against the fence while trying to avoid the Brazilian's stand up. Yushin has to survive, score as many take downs as he can in any way he can do it. This is no easy task as Anderson Silva has KO'ed Vitor Belfort in the first round with an odd Crane Kick (Compliments to Steven Seagal).

For Anderson to win this, he wants to keep this fight standing, with his rock jaw and head either absorbing hits or dodging them (preferably dodging them), and look for that KO/TKO finish. I don't think Anderson will go for the take down himself, but if he is taken down I believe he should try to scramble up rather than try to out grapple.

Yushin could cruise to a safe victory, but, I predict a KO Finish in the Third Rnd for Anderson Silva, but it could be sooner, ask Vitor.

Good luck to both gentleman!
