Contrary to popular belief, Yoshida is good for the sport...

Thanks for the info Shooto. Do you have any further information on them. Have they been competing in Judo tournaments actively? Hope to see these guys kick ass in MMA!

Yoshida is good for the sport no doubt. As always, popular belief and conspiracy theories tend to be dead wrong.

Michihiro Omigawa was an international level judoka in the U66 weight class while Ryuichi Murata was an international judoka fighting in mainly the U81 weight class.

Check any good Judo tournament record site to find out their personal records in tournaments.

I have a feeling Yoshida may have spilt a spoonful.
