Yes you are, as Okami's wrestling/judo is quite good and he has a real strong base. Taking him down is no easy task...and on the ground, I personally feel Okami is better at subs than Chael is at GNP. Sonnen IMO is a 1 trick pony..he's good at that 1 trick, a good fighter, but, I don't think he'll be making the tidal waves some expect of him in the UFC.

Sonnen couldn't even finish someone that didn't fight back. How the hell is he gonna beat Okami?

I agree Sonnen is a superb wrestler.

Okami>Sonnen

I think Okami wins this fight 8 times out of 10. He looks a lot stronger than Sonnen and his stand-up is better imo. Wouldn't give Sonnen much of a chance.

I think the opposite actually, Okami is a very strong 185er, he beats Sonnen everywhere.

It'd be a tough fight, but Okami would take it
