Okami/Lombard added to March Japan card

[purekane]

I want to get excited about Lombard, but he beat a 1st round broken foot

Paul Harris and refused to pull the trigger on Boetsch. So, i'm not sure

what we've learned. The hate on Okami is not warranted. Belchers

tattoo had it coming.

Thunder vs. Lightning... awesome.

Decent fight, tought fight for Lombard but it will be his best UFC win if he gets it, if he hadnt of lost to Tim he'd be looking at a title shot with those 3 wins!

okami is one of my fav fighters, this is a tough test for him but i do feel he can pull this off, his cardio is much better and he is probably just as strong if not more.

But okami does not have better stand up, this is a sick ass fight to me, can not wait war OKAMI!

I knew I was right about you being a wrong'un!

lol not sure what that means.
I've Been rooting for Yushin since day one i been one of the biggest Yushin Okami fans on mmaweekly for a few years now, haters gonna hate but he beats up real good fighters, he is a beast.

Oli doesn't like wrasslers who hold people down. Yushin often wins by, as someone put it after the Belcher fight, being "slightly bigger, slightly stronger, and a slightly better wrestler" than his opponent.

Horrible match making. Lets take one of the smallest MW's in Lombard who is exciting and put him against one of the biggest Mw in Okami who feasts on using his size and wrestling to smother and overwhelm is opponent. I'll take Okami by decision.

Why anyone would like this matchup is beyond me.

It's crap matchmaking. Lombard needs to be groomed as a contender, because the division he is in is thinner then Dana's hair, circa 2001. Anyone he faces needs to not have already been dominated by Anderson.

yo vale dawg everyone of significance in the mw division been beat by anderson outside of like 2 people hahahaha

Okami is and always has been one of the best in the mw division in the ufc, if u want to be a top contender you have to beat guys like him.

No.

Lombard was brought in and paid big bucks just for the intention of facing Anderson.

Yushin was beaten by him so one sided that I don't want to see a rematch. Yushin is now in a Jon Fitch/Rich Franklin role.

It's plain out bad matchmaking and personally, I'm surprised that the UFC is doing this. Costa would have been a great person to put him in there with. Either way the fight turns out, you are grooming a contender.

Right now we have Bisping, Belfort (even though they already fought, most wouldn't mind seeing Vitor in there again as it was a quick KO), Weidman, Lombard and now Costa. All of those guys should have the focus on them, in order to build the division.



You don't see my point?
