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.

I suggest that you go back and watch that fight again. Yoshida had no type of choke on Gracie in that fight. If you watch the replay Gracie had his chin and mouth outside of Yoshida's arm. The only thing that Yoshida was killing was time, which he is quite good at. The fact that you said he would choke out Mir guaranteed just makes me laugh hysterically.
