Bývalý, two-time All-American wrestling star for NCAA Division I University of Iowa, Bradley placed as high as fourth in the national championships before turning to MMA in 2006 where he has since faced off with elite competition in the UFC and Strikeforce.

Similar to his opponent, 6-noha-2, 35-year-old Okami of Kanagawa, Japan has scrapped with top-level, world ranked competition to earn his place in the decagon cage.

Since the loss to Fitch, Okami, a veteran of the UFC as well as PRIDE, has since reeled off two consecutive victories in his home country – a second round (4:23) WHO (corner zastavení) na Ryuta Sakurai v Tokiu Únor 27, and a first round (2:06) předkládání (zadní nahý tlumivka) na Shingo Suzukina Červenec 24.
