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.

Yes and okami is taller, he is not wider then rich and it has been said all along.
Considering rich powered his way out of every submission and submission attempt, not to mention the mount and even mouting okami, that is also overpowering.
Rich even said in the interview, he started with the leg kicks in the second, becaue after clinching with okami, he was not as strong as his previous opponents made him out to be, video is on ufc if ya wanna watch it.
Not saying okami isn't strong, but i don't agree with the strongest, i would say him and franklin are pretty equal or franklin by a small amount.
