Okami (35-11-0) has won just one of two in his second run in the UFC, with that lone win coming over Dhiego Lima at UFC On Fox 29. Okami has previously challenged for the UFC Middleweight Title, losing to then champion Anderson Silva at UFC 134. Okami also competed in the World Series Of Fighting, where he failed at an attempt to win the promotions middleweight title in November of 2014.
