The UFC Japanese language website has announced that Yushin Okami’s next fight will come against veteran Chael Sonnen. The bout will be a part of UFC 104, which takes place October 24th at the Staples Center.

Yushin Okami stormed into the UFC in 2006, and has gone 7-1 in the promotion. Once thought to be a title challenger, since his last fight, a decision victory over Dean Lister, he has been hit with a rash of injuries that have derailed his career.

When Okami pulled out of his May tilt against Dan Miller, it was Chael Sonnen who stepped in and picked up a victory. The Team Quest veteran is 1-1 during this turn in the UFC after going 2-1 in the WEC and defeating champion Paulo Filho.
