White: Okami deserving of UFC title shot but may need one more fight to get it

LAS VEGAS - Yushin Okami might be a very unhappy man come April, and UFC president Dana White knows it.

With Anderson Silva's UFC 126 win over Vitor Belfort, all that stands in the middleweight champion's way of a showdown with fellow superstar Georges St-Pierre is for the welterweight title holder to notch an April win over Jake Shields.

And if that happens, Okami will once again need another fight to solidify his status as the UFC's top 185-pound contender.
