Yushin Okami will now be facing Buddy Roberts. http://www.mmaweekly.com/rousimar-palhares-out-buddy-roberts-in-against-yushin-okami-at-ufc-150 Shitty news. This is a huge step up on short notice for Roberts.
He was training leglock defence and now he is going to get suplexed all over the shop :verysad Paul Harris should fight Lombard next! That fight has to happen!!! Lynchburg EDIT: I didn't read the article correctly... I though Harris pulled out of the fight against Buddy... I thought Thunder was stepping in. Buddy is the one who is getting suplexed!
Looked a really good fight that on paper. Big step up for Roberts not sure if he can make it though. I've only seen one of his fights though. Hope Palhares is back soon in a meaningful fight a win for him or Okami in that fight would of thrown the winner back near the top of the contenders pile.
Bit disappointed the fights off It was a really interesting fight and a hard one to call IMO, Big step up for Buddy .
I think he is going to get smashed... perhaps he is the only guy that wanted the fight on short notice :think When you see weird match ups like this that is usually the case... that is why Che got the Rory fight. No one else wanted it! Lynchburg
I can see why the match was made with Camozzi injured (Roberts original opponent) and the event like 2 weeks away It seems more logical. Interesting to see how Okami reacts to the defeat though although I agree It's not the fight I wanted, But I can understand why It was made.
