I think Cote won that fight, the decision was no surprise, it was what I thought it would be. Im pretty sure Okami has a title shot as long as Silva doesn't get injured against Irvin.
As far as title worthy outcome, definitely not. As for quality of opponent get got the decision from, that just might earn him the title shot. But I don't know, it doesn't always work that way in the UFC, its usually about what's marketable...atleast for a little while. I think Dana was trying to avoid Okami - Silva for as long as possible, but when you're the number one contender, you're the number one contender. Neither Almeida nor Cote stand a chance against Silva anyways.
