UFC On Versus 2: Yushin Okami Vs. Mark Munoz

While much of the limelight seems to be glaring down on Sunday's main event between Jon Jones and Vladimir Matyushenko, a fight that could help shape the middleweight division will be taking place just prior to it. Both coming off impressive wins over not so impressive opponents, Okami and Munoz are each taking a step up in competition to climb another rung in the ladder closer to the 185lb strap.

In Munoz, we have a phenomenal wrestler and D1 national champion. A ground and pound expert, Munoz has made no secret of his gameplan for Sunday night. Speaking with The Examiner's Dennis Guillermo, Munoz preached- "I'm going to take him down and pound him out." I don't want to say Munoz is a one trick pony just yet, but having the same gameplan against every opponent regardless of their tendencies sends a shiver down my spine. Make no mistake, Munoz has a chance to win this fight, but with so much hinging on his ability to take Okami down and control him, I just don't think Munoz has the depth necessary to beat a crafty veteran like Yushin just yet.
