Nov 13, 2010 10:00 PM EST Oberhausen, Germany
A shot at the UFC middleweight championship is at stake on Saturday, November 13, as 185-pound contenders Nate 'The Great' Marquardt and Yushin Okami collide in Oberhausen to decide the division's next challenger. The middleweight pair headline UFC 122, when the Ultimate Fighting Championship organisation returns to Germany.
In the co-main event, hot-streaking middleweights Alessio Sakara and Jorge Rivera meet at the crossroads of their careers, the victor assured bigger opportunities in 2011. With both men coming off three back-to-back victories, the form-lines suggest German fight fans could witness something spectacular between these two experienced warriors.
