UFC 134 official with Anderson Silva vs. Yushin Okami title fight
by MMAjunkie Staff on May 10, 2011 at 7:45 am ET
As expected, the UFC's return to Brazil will feature a championship headliner and rematch between middleweight titleholder Anderson Silva (28-4 MMA, 13-0 UFC) and challenger Yushin Okami (26-5 MMA, 10-2 UFC). The long-rumored Aug. 27 event, now dubbed "UFC 134: Silva vs. Okami," is set for HSBC Arena in Rio De Janeiro. A total of six bouts now have been announced for the card, which marks the UFC's first event in Brazil since 1998. Also now official for the card is a middleweight bout Maiquel Falcao (26-3 MMA, 1-0 UFC) and Tom Lawlor (7-3 MMA, 3-2 UFC). MMAjunkie first reported the bout this month. The 185-pounders join previously announced fights of light heavyweights Forrest Griffin (18-6 MMA, 9-4 UFC) vs. Mauricio "Shogun" Rua (19-5 MMA, 3-3 UFC), lightweights Spencer Fisher (24-7 MMA, 9-6 UFC) vs. Thiago Tavares (15-4-1 MMA, 5-4-1 UFC), and light heavyweights Luiz Cane (11-3 MMA, 4-3 UFC) meets Stanislav Nedkov (11-0 MMA, 0-0 UFC). Silva, who's been under consideration for a superfight with welterweight champ Georges St-Pierre, has won 14 consecutive fights, which includes a record eight consecutive UFC title defenses. Undefeated in the UFC, Silva hasn't lost a fight since 2006, when the Brazilian suffered a disqualification loss (due to an illegal upkick) to Okami at a Rumble on the Rock show in Hawaii. Okami, a longtime middleweight contender, defeated Nate Marquardt at UFC 122. The November bout initially was declared a No. 1 contender's fight, though officials didn't formally announce Okami as the next title challenger. Regardless, the Japanese fighter has won six of his past seven fights. His current win streak includes a knockout of Lucio Linhares and decision victories over Mark Munoz and Marquardt. The latest "UFC 134: Silva vs. Okami" card now includes: Champ Anderson Silva vs. Yushin Okami (for middleweight title) Forrest Griffin vs. Mauricio "Shogun" Rua Edson Barboza vs. Ross Pearson Luiz Cane vs. Stanislav Nedkov Maiquel Falcao vs. Tom Lawlor Spencer Fisher vs. Thiago Tavares Alexandre "Cacareco" Ferreira vs. Rousimar Palhares* David Mitchell vs. Paulo Thiago* * - Not officially announced .
