The rematch between Yushin Okami and Anderson Silva headlined the UFC's return to Brazil at UFC 134. Although Okami held a victory over the champion, many fans were confidently picking "The Spider" to defend his title in front of his countrymen.
Silva not only avenged his "loss," he destroyed Okami.
As impressive as Silva's performance was, it was nearly overshadowed by the ineffectiveness by Okami during the bout.
"The Spider" repeatedly put his hands at his waist and Okami failed to do anything during these moments. This is one of the few times fans could see the "fear factor" of a fighter at work.
If Okami wanted to win the title, what was he waiting for?
