Well, agree to disagree. I think Yoshida would have gone to win the 2000 Olypics as well if he had not suffered a broken arm. Also I know a lot of people weren't critical towards his fight with Gracie at Shockwave 2002 but if the referee wouldn't have stopped that match he could have killed him, and I mean literally, because Gracie wasn't getting out of that choke and it is very dangerous to begin with, credit to Gracie for not tapping but he lost. And Gracie is one of the best grapplers in the world. Also with being a world class Judo expert Yoshida has phenominal ground control, and would choke Mir out guranteed.
