Real Japanese Cagefighter: Yoshiyuki Yoshida
Sep 3, 2008
After taking the Cage Force welterweight tournament, Yoshiyuki Yoshida (Pictures) burst onto the big scene by quickly choking out Jon Koppenhaver (Pictures) in his UFC debut. Taking on Karo Parisyan (Pictures) in his second UFC bout, Yoshida is set to become the next big Japanese export in the Octagon, next to Yushin Okami (Pictures).
Join Sherdog.com's Tony Loiseleur and Daniel Herbertson as they catch up with Yoshida at his gym, Tokyo Yellow Mans, to talk about his upcoming fight with Parisyan, his natural ability to wield elbows and navigate the cage in a country that scarcely uses them, as well as him being the PE teacher that we all wish we had in high school.
