Usually, after a former champion drops down to a weight class or jumps up to a weight class and wins in his debut fight in the new division, the first question everyone asks is "Who are they going to fight next?"

The fighter could easily be at a high enough level where it's a common sense matter to decide who faces him ...

It's put up or shut up time.

For the past few weeks,we've heard the trash-talk between Javier "Showtime" Vasquez and Chad "Money" Mendes, and it's all come to a head now.

Tonight the two will square off in what promises to be a pretty fast-paced contest between two top Featherweights...

...Or is it?

There’s no two ways about it: the reputations of both Nate Marquardt and Yushin Okami in the UFC Middleweight division rest on the events of their UFC 122 bout, and this time, it’s more than just the title shot.

How do I mean?

Well, let’s check the facts for a minute.

We’re only a week away from UFC 122 and the epic #1 contender’s showdown between Nate “The Great” Marquardt and Yushin “Thunder” Okami, and it’s about that time when people such as us at RealSportsNet have to start the speculating.

Will it be Marquardt or will it be Okami?
