The UFC organization acted quickly and in the early hours of this Sunday (17) announced that the Japanese veteran Yushin Okami returns to the organization to replace the Brazilian and face the Haitian on the show.
Okami, 36, has a record of 36 wins and 10 losses. The Japanese came to shred Anderson Silva for the middleweight belt. But he ended up being knocked out by Spider in the main fight of UFC Rio, in August 2011. The fighter was released by the UFC in 2013 after being dominated in the duel against Ronaldo Jacare. Since then he has had five wins and two defeats. He comes from four consecutive victories.
