The winner of UFC 122 headliner between Nate Marquardt and Yushin Okami has been guaranteed a shot at the middleweight belt.
The middleweight belt was defended by Anderson Silva against Chael Sonnen at UFC 117 this past summer and the champion is set to defend it yet again at UFC 126 against former UFC champion Vitor Belfort.
Marquardt’s road back to a title shot has been a bumpy one, putting together nice streaks only to have them cut short after disappointing losses. Okami, meanwhile, is currently on a two-fight winning streak with victories over Lucio Linhares and Mark Munoz.
The main event bout is set for UFC 122 in Oberhausen, Germany on November 13. The event will be aired free on Spike TV via same-day tape delay.
