When was the last time Okami fought......2008? Munoz is on a hot streak so likely wins a decision as I don't think Okami will get caught and put away.

Huh?

Okami lost to Sonnen and beat down his last opponent a few months ago in Lucio Linhares. Okami looked fantastic, and far more aggressive than he's ever looked in the past.

I don't rate Munoz at all, so I'm going with Thunder by a 3rd round TKO.

Munoz won't be able to control Okami the way Sonnen did.

I didn't see either of those fights and forgot all about them. I'd like to see Okami get the win and move up in the mix.

kendall grove (!) of all people was manhandling munoz for most of their fight. i can't really see okami getting a loss to a guy coming off a performance like that 4 months ago. just can't.

Yeah, I like Munoz - but pure heart isn't going to beat Okami. He's in for a tough fight this go round.

IF Munoz was more aggressive with his takedowns, he'd be better off in this fight. In the end, I see Okami outscoring him after 15 minutes.

Okami actually showed vastly improved boxing ability against Lucio, so I'm thinking the new and improved Okami mops the floor with Munoz.

Not that he wouldn't have won before, but his style of fighting wasn't really conductive to mopping the floor with someone.

Actually, that's kind of what he was known for doing until he came to the UFC and became Captain Tentative.

I don't really ever remember him boxing anybody like that. I personally never found him boring as many others did, but his fights were frustrating for me to watch because I know he's a much better fighter than what he showed, despite having an excellent UFC (and MMA) record. I'm hoping the Sonnen fight lit a fire under his ass.
