World Series of Fighting reaches out to Yushin Okami

Lost in all the hubbub of yesterday’s round of cuts and main event-changing injuries, one of the four former UFC fighters was already offered a new home. Ali Abdel-Azia, Executive Vice President of the World Series of Fighting, jumped on his twitter account and sent a friendly message to Yushin “Thunder” Okami.

Prior to that, Okami was on a 3 fight winning streak with wins over Buddy Roberts, Alan Belcher, and Hector Lombard. A one time title contender, Okami’s total UFC record stands at 13-5. No announcement has been made as to “Thunder’s” next move.
