Someone address this regarding Spider Silva
« on: June 30, 2009, 01:16:10 PM »
Yushin Okami.

He fought and beat Anderson in 2006.  He is listed number 2 in the world at middleweight right behind Silva. 

Why isn't he getting a title shot?

He got knocked out by Anderson Silva when they fought.  Silva knocked him out with an upkick, which was illegal according to the rules of Rumble on the Rock I believe, which disqualified the spider.  Then Okami gets signed to the UFC puts together a few wins, but then loses a snoozer to Rich Franklin.  That kinda took the wind out of his sails a bit.  I think after that he beat Jason Mcdonanld ,Evan Tanner, and Dean Lister and was supposed to fight again but got injured.  That's where he stands right now.
Predictions
 40/61

I just can't believe his name hasn't been suggested as number two ranked!
