"According to F4Wonline.com, Belfort will face Yushin Okami (25-5) in the main event of UFC 122 on November 13 in Oberhausen, Germany. It is expected that the winner of that fight will face the winner of the Silva/Sonnen II fight at some point next year," Meltzer said.
Belfort was originally scheduled to face UFC middleweight Anderson Silva, but an injury forced him to withdraw from the fight. Okami will look to make it three straight wins in the Octagon after winning a split decision over Mark Munoz in at UFC Live on Versus 2.
