Beyond the Octagon: Former UFC contender Yushin Okami picks up TKO victory

Your weekly update on what big-show veterans are up to on the regional circuit.

Saturday's fight between Michael Bisping and Anderson Silva might have left a bad taste in your mouth, but there's nothing like more fight results to cleanse the palate. February continues to be a strong month for UFC vets, with former UFC talent, including TUF contestants, going 7-0 in regional shows. This includes, of course, long-time Top 10 middleweight Yushin Okami.

This past weekend marked the first time that Okami (31-10, 13-5 UFC, 1-2 WSOF, 2-0 PRIDE) has fought outside a major organization in nearly a decade.
