Yoshida in rehabilitation.....

[( o Y o )]

He has started rehab for his injuries and as said he wants his revenge on Silva this GP.

He wont start full training for the event until March, but has said he will be the one to stop Silva.

He also noted he wants to win all his GP fights by ippon.

Silva has also said he doesn`t need a bye in the first round and wants to fight them all.

To me, it is no wonder fighters like this are as popular as they are, and why local fans are rolling their eyes at the likes of Ryan......

bad, i knew i saw yoshida in a asahi draft one commercial. i got a k-1 max event bootleg and it had commercials. this confirms i indeed saw what i thought i saw. but onto the thread topic...yoshida vs silva argueably could have been fight of the year. it was one of my favorites that is for sure. yoshida proved he can take what silva has to dish out by going to a decision with him. now he needs to figure out how to sub him. it wont be easy...but he has a great shot at it.

Yoshida vs. Silva was one of the best fights of 2003.
