Nate did exactly what he said he wasn't going to do... He fought to not lose rather than taking chances and fighting to win. Not to say Okami wouldn't have won anyway, but Nate really should have mixed up his strikes better and made Yushin worry about him shooting, even if he chose not to actually commit to the takedown. I picked Marquardt because I believed he would have a better strategy, but I am glad Okami won. If Belfort doesn't get the job done, I like Yushin's chances against Silva.
