Admittedly, UFC 122 is the least star-studded event the promotion has put on in some time, but that doesn’t mean it’s going to be a lackluster event whatsoever. The headliner is an exciting matchup between Nate Marquardt and Yushin Okami, with the winner guaranteed a title shot. Plus, it’s on free TV! Winnipeg, Manitoba’s Krzysztof Soszynski is featured on the main card as he takes on Goran Reljic, who is returning to light heavyweight after a failed stint at middleweight. Soszynski is coming off a TKO loss to Stephan Bonnar at UFC 116 and will look to get back on the winning track. Joe Silva has done his job well since so many of the fights on this card are difficult to predict. However, that usually means the fights will be close, competitive and exciting for fans.

Still, Marquardt, one of GSP’s training partners, is arguably the most well-rounded middleweight and is more motivated than ever. It’s a bad stylistic matchup for Marquardt and it is very tempting to pick Okami. But, Marquardt’s striking proficiency and agility should be the difference in this bout.
Marquardt.
