I don't exactly see how Okami wins unless Lombard shows up uninterested like he did vs. Boestch.

Lombard is faster and has more power. He has a better base actually with his Judo, which will be more than enough to stop TDs. His pure grappling is on par with Okami's.

Perhaps Okami can gas him.

I can't stand Lombard.
Would love to see this jackass get his ass beat.
I think Okami will take advanage of Lombard's tiny reach and play the jab game while neturalizing Lombard's attempts to bring pressure.
Okami UD.

Lombard is one of the worst possible matchups for Okami at MW. I don't think he can take Hector down, Hector has great punching power and Okami's striking defense is not exactly world class either. Maybe he can tire Lombard out with clinch and footwork but it's going to be a long grind for Yushin and Lombard can end it any time.

too bad all thunder does is make noise...

both lombard and okami are overrated.. solid judo gives lombard the advantage in the clinch, not to mention how much physically stronger hector is.. problem with this fight is how fast and explosive lombard is and how badly okami reacts to being hit with any kind of power..

im not a fan of either guy but i think hector is tailor made to beat guys like okami. okami's only chance is to lay and pray his way to a boring SPLIT decision

I find it quite assuming that everyone is saying Lombard is stronger, Okami is larger, and stronger than Lombard. Lombard is more explosive and hits hard, and has great judo. But he has no cardio. Okami breaks guys down. You will see a new and improved Okami. He won't lose in Japan again

agree its a bad match up for okami

lombard may be the best fight for silva at middleweight in terms of a spectacle

Okami will look great if he doesn't get swarmed early, or lose his shit and forget he can't brawl. If he actually fights smart and implements HIS game, I see him winning this fairly one sided.
