MMA Hawaii is reporting that UFC welterweights Yoshiyuki Yoshida and Brandon Wolff will clash at UFC 98 in Las Vegas on May 23rd.

Brandon has confirmed with us this morning, that he will be facing cageforce champion and shooto veteran, Yoshiyuki Yoshida (10-3-0) on May 23, 2009 at UFC 98 which will be held in Las Vegas.

Yoshida and Wolff both last competed at the UFC Fights for The Troops event back in December where both men also suffered losses.  Yoshida suffered a brutal KO at the hand(s) of Josh Koscheck, while Wolff in his UFC debut, was the victim of a vicious muay thai clinic from Ben Saunders that left him TKO'd less than two minutes into the first round.

Yoshida (1-1 UFC) was impressive in his debut, submitting The Artist Formerly Known as Jon Koppenhaver (see: Machine, War) at UFC 84.  He was then scheduled to take on fellow judoka Karo Parisyan at UFC 88, but was left without an opponent when Parisyan pulled out due to injury the day before the fight.  Training at the Yellow Mans gym in Tokyo, "Zenko" will look to get himself back on the winning track in May.

Wolff (7-3, 0-1 UFC) is a Hawaiian native and coach at the MMAD gym on Oahu.  He has primarily competed for Hawaiian promotions like Rumble on the Rock and X-1, but also has fought on Elite XC and WEC cards.
