Rich Franklin confirmed that Yushin Okami has signed to fight in replacement of Martin Kampmann at UFC 72. The following was posted by Rich Franklin this morning on his official website:
I spoke with Monte (my manager) Saturday evening and that conversation eluded to the fact that Kampman may be out. Monday,I was told he would be replaced with a top 10 opponent, and Okami was presented as the likely possibility. Later that day we found out Okami signed. From my end, the contract remains the same, and I’m still excited to fight June 16th in Belfast. My camp will make some changes in my training as well as develop a new strategy to approach this fight. However, I was and will continue preparing a fight…not a person.

FRANKLIN I SEE HIM HANDING OUT THE KO…. I CAN SEE MATT AND RICH BEIN CHAMPS AGAIN FOR A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME
okami didnt surprise me any when he fought swick so theoritically if franklin is better than swick then franklin by tko 2nd round
Save for the Franklin Okami fight, this could quite possibly be the worst UFC card ever.
Yep!
where you been bud?
YO DUDE CHECK THIS **** OUT
IBF World Welterweight Champion Kermit Cintron has stated he would like to accept Dana White’s challenge put forward to face UFC Lightweight Champion Sean Sherk.
“I want the fight,†said Cintron. “I can wrestle. I can box. I can beat those UFC fighters at their own game. Tell Mr. White to make me an offer and I’ll take on his guy after I fight Matthysse on July 14.â€
He’s just another guy trying to ride on the nuts of UFC’s popularity because boxing is tapering off.
DO U THINK THE MUSCLE SHARK HAS WHAT IT TAKES TO TAKE THIS DUDE OUT
@Pat
Where did you find that? I’m telling Dana!
Oh yea, this guy’s a chump. Sean will G&P him into next week.
Uhhhh yep.
Sherk can 1. take a hit 2. take him down 3. this guy is scared to death because if he loses, yeah, and he will …. confirms that boxing is a dead art on it’s way out… lol

HOW THE HELL IS MATT LINLAND STILL #1 …. HE JUST LOST…. WTF… I JUST WANNA WRITE TO THOSE *** JOCKIES AND AS THEM IF THEY ARE EFFEN RETARTED
He lost to the #1 heavyweight int he world….HEAVYWEIGHT. If anything he solidified his middleweight standings by coming out of the match alive. The mmaweekly rankings are pretty much useless, but they do provide a good “top 10″ list. As far as who is actually ranked over who…is mostly speculation. Plus ay ranking system is useless unless these guys actually fight each other. Rich Franklin is better than Dan Henderson??…based on what?? Number of T-shirts sold???
LOL THATS ******** THAT HES NUMBER TEN
sure is FUGLY though……
this is one of those cards that MIGHT be ok to show on HBO.
The best fights will probably be in the arena….especially since you know they will be serving literally…..TONS OF BEER!
They’re not called the “FIGHTING IRISH” for nothing!
ehhh. Im hearing crickets boys…
KANSAS

I KNOW A SLOW WEEK
Looks like I need to start some shet as stimulation here…..
