UFC 122: Nate Marquardt vs. Yoshin Okami

This November 13, 2010 is a big weekend for fight fans. Aside from Manny Pacquiao vs Antonio Margarito fight live, they can switch their TV sets to Spike TV in the U.S., via tape delay, or watch UFC 122: Nate Marquardt vs. Yoshin Okami live in König Pilsener Arena in Oberhausen, Germany.

UFC 122: Nate Marquardt vs. Yoshin Okami will be the UFC's second event in Germany and second in continental Europe. The sport has been met with severe criticism by German media, which led to the banning of minors from the first German UFC event (UFC 99).

Yoshin Okami was first slated to face Vitor Belfort with the winner receiving a middleweight title shot. However, Belfort withdrew with what was first said to be an injury but later reported that Belfort pulled out of the fight to face Anderson Silva. Nate Marquardt will now face Yushin Okami in the main event in what will be a title eliminator bout.

The winner of Nate Marquardt vs. Yoshin Okami will face UFC Middleweight Champion Anderson Silva in a fight that will be scheduled next year
