UFC 122 headliner Yushin Okami says he knows Nate Marquardt has knockout power but also feels he is the stronger fighter and his strength will be his biggest advantage. He says he learned a lot from watching Marquardt’s loss to Chael Sonnen but will not reveal those “secrets.”

Okami is asked why he has not had a title shot. He laughingly replies, “I do not know.” He also does not know for sure if a win over Marquardt will guarantee him a shot at the title but knows it will at least move him one step closer.

UFC 122: Marquardt vs. Okami” takes place this Saturday, Nov. 13, at Konig Pilsener Arena in Oberhausen, Germany. The event will air for free Saturday night on Spike TV.
