Well, well... Now it turns out Okami is not strong at all? Come on! Franklin did well in the clinch. Has has probably been working that position like a madman since Silva demolished him from it. However, when the fight went to the ground, Okami overpowered Franklin easily. He was able to twist his arms at will and to retain full guard for quite a while. If that is not overpowering your opponent I don't know what is. Just look at Franklin's face of concern at the end of the fight. He knew he very well could have lost it.

So, come on, let's try to be fair. Okami remains very likely the physically stronger 185 pounder in the UFC. Did you see him standing in front of Rich at the beginning of the fight? If Okami can improve his stand up and learn to pick up the pace of fights, the guy will be unbeatable.
