Yoshiyuki Yoshida Ready to Fight:

Are there any particular parts of Josh Koscheck's game that you feel you match up well with?

YY: I understand that Koscheck has a wrestling background and very good wrestling skills, but I have a judo background and very good judo skills. So, to answer your question honestly, I think I can dominate him in the throw part of the takedowns and once I get the takedown I think I'm superior in the ground-n-pound. You might not think so with my judo background, but ground-n-pound is a department I think I'm superior in.

I’m rooting for Yoshida because I’ve liked his fights and he really got screwed by Karo, but Kos is looking really sharp right now. Great fight (hopefully).

Im torn on this fight still. Yoshidas take down defense looks very suspect. I have a feeling KOS can take him down at will. I orginaly picked Yoshida to win, but the more footage I watch of him he looks vulnerable to a powerhouse wrestler like KOS.
