Nate Marquardt along with Yushin Okami will get center stage of the Octagon on Saturday November 13th in Oberhausen Germany as the main competitors in the UFC 122 lines action. Both of these men have seen lots of MMA action and have competed several UFC engagements.



But next Saturday’s fight at the UFC 122 betting event could possibly be the most crucial fighting contest of either man’s career. That these 2 competitors are main in the headline bout of a UFC Main Event is a little bit of a nice shock for these two competitors who have otherwise been forgotten by a lot of people in the sport.

With a career record of 30-9-2 Marquardt continues to be a testament to durability. Very few competitors arrive at the 40 bout mark in their career and the fact that the Wyoming native, Marquardt, has arrived at that fight landmark by the age of 31 says a lot about his sturdiness and durability. His career record of 30-9-2 is better than most competitors but it’s still not pretty excellent enough to separate himself from the rest of the weight class and receive “elite” status in the UFC.

His UFC 122 lines challenger, Yushin Okami, is yet another practiced vet of MMA action and at 29 years of age has thirty career MMA matches under his belt. His record of 25-5 is extraordinary but he falls short of any major wins over an proved contender in the UFC. Indeed, the greatest name he’s competed since signing with the UFC is likely Chael Sonnen, who defeated Okami pretty easily and won by unanimous decision in October of last year.

The main saving grace of this bout is the likelihood that the victor will go onto fight Anderson Silva for the championship. Nevertheless, both competitors have had their shot at Silva in the past, and both did not impress. Marquardt got his shot in July 2007 at UFC 73. He lost the tournament that night by technical knockout due to strikes. Okami was previously planned to confront Anderson Silva throughout UFC 90 but was pressured to withdraw due to a broken hand. Either of these competitors competing with such a legend at this time will almost certainly be anticlimactic, and not just because Silva will almost certainly wipe the mat with them. Even if just one of them gets the opportunity, and even if they find a way to win the bout against Silva, it will feel that the belt was stolen from him by someone who tripped into fame.

Neither one of these competitors is going into the UFC Hall of Fame and so for them to have a shot at the championship at this stage in their career and headlining the UFC 122 lines action is likely over either would have imagined achievable.

With regards to matching up, Marquardt has confronted the toughest tournament in his career and he has wins over superior foes. Okami has better his striking and other aspects of this competition, but Marquardt has the advantage in sturdiness and endurance.

Expect this bout to go the distance and also for Marquardt to overcome in this UFC 122 betting matchup.
