The UFC 122 lines lineup might not be exactly what MMA fans were thinking of after the mega matchup of heavyweights Brock Lesnar and new champ Cain Velasquez in the UFC 121 championship match. And even though the UFC 122 Main event presenting Nate Marquardt and Yushin Okami might not quite have the same ring to it as the forthcoming Rampage Jackson versus Lyoto Machida, it's maybe not rather the disappointment that everybody has been making it out to be. And even if there's no championship at stake you are able to expect a excellent competition anytime Marquardt steps into the Octogan and his competition with Okami should be no different. It is a bit anticlimactic as the winner is presumed to get a chance versus the reigning middleweight champion, Anderson Silva, the greatest pound per pound fighter in MMA and maybe the history of the sport. And until the hell freezes over and the sun rises in the West the winner of this UFC 122 betting Main Event is not going to defeat Silva. But as an alternative to taking a 'glass half empty' approach to this bout, fans should see it as a good thing situation. The UFC 122 lines Main Event is in fact a de facto middleweight championship competition. Nobody has really challenged Silva in the cage since George Bush was in office. In the past half decade that Silva has maintained the middle weight championship he's won 14 consecutive bouts. No matter who wins at the Marquardt versus Okami competition in the UFC 122 betting competition, neither is able to beating Silva. Marquardt (30-9-2) is always a tough fight and no one wants to fight this person, however the fact of the matter is he is nowhere fast near Silva's capability level. The most recent time these two met in 2007, with the championship at stake Silva made mincemeat of him, finishing the match with a TKO in the 1st round. The same is true of Okami (20-5). He might be able to defeat Marquardt in the UFC 122 lines event but he is not on the same plane as Silva. One interesting note however, is that Okami is in fact the last man on earth to have beaten Silva, back in January 2006; even if it was because of an illegal kick DQ from Silva, it's still a thing to carefully consider.
