On Monday we teased you with a brief promo video, while today we’ve located a nine minute and 42 second extended preview of the August 27th extravaganza.
Middleweight king Anderson Silva defends his crown against Yushin Okami in the pay-per-view’s featured attraction. During Tuesday’s media conference call, UFC president Dana White claimed Okami was the best fighter to ever come out of Japan.
