Hidehiko Yoshida (吉ç"°ç§€å½¦, September 3,1969-) is a Japanese gold-medalist judoka and MMA fighter.
Hidehiko Yoshida was born in Obu, Aichi, Japan.
Yoshida is one of the few fighters who still wears a gi these days when he fights.
Wanderlei Yoshida and Hidehiko Yoshida [Archive] - Puroresu Forum (1102 words)
Yoshida only got into position to apply front chokes twice in the 1st round, once after a restart (which makes it easier tha in continuous action) and the other time after an excellent judo hipthrow.
That's one of the things I think that still point out that Yoshida, despite a very good performance, is too unidimensional to be a big threat: he goes for the same upper body subs over and over again, had he transitioned to something else he might have been able to catch the brazilian out.
In my eyes, having ascertained he could hang with Yoshida on the ground in the first round, Wanderlei could be much less conservative in the second (even if he never went for the kill or took unnecessary risks) and simply rack up the points.
