Preview: Josh Koscheck vs Yoshiyuki Yoshida

After the jump, Josh Koscheck and Yoshiyuki Yoshida discuss their conflicting game plans for Wednesday night’s “Fight for the Troops.”

The Rise of Yoshiyuki Yoshida

Yoshiyuki Yoshida discussing how he got into MMA, UFC 88, his age (34), Karo Parisyan and more. What you realize right way is just how accidential his fighting career actually is. His age is more a testament to his late start than any middle age grasp for relevancy.

And just as Yoshida himself is unassuming, so is his fighting style. He often counter fights, letting his opponents attack early so he can finish strong. I initially thought his upcoming fight with Parisyan was going to be a bit of mutual neutralization, but I’m slowly getting the sense that their battle could grow to a fevered pitch
