Hidehiko Yoshida was a true warrior in Judo and MMA

[@bobronsons5780]

the way he respectfully "gently puts down" the MMA dude when he picks him up from the ropes as opposed to slamming him is highly underrated. He had the confidence that he would win

[@daftheck1439]

He probably didn't even think of it because he was happy with the control he had. Slamming would have been either super effective or resulting in a control loss, much more chaotique.

4:33 The MMA dude was Wanderlei Silva. Unfortunately contrary to your expectations, Yoshida lost to him two times. Actually Yoshida didn't know the teqnique of slaming at that time because it had been just 1year since he changed jobs from judo to mma. He quit judo in 2002 and this match was held in 2003. That was just 4th mma match for him.

Arguably the greatest Judoka in MMA history

I've always like Hidehiko Yoshida. Watching him submit the fraud Gracie was so satisfying!

Reminds me of the epic fight between Melvin Manhoef vs Akiyama. 💪🏽

[@無銘-w1y]

心の強さを誰より見せてくれた人。今柔道界の為に一番活動してる人の一人なんじゃないかな。軸の強い内股が素晴らしい。

強かった全盛期にヒクソンと対戦して欲しかった

[@youchida3195]

吉田はほんと強かったな

[@たいたーじょん-y8f]

バンダレイシウバ戦は殴り合いではなく寝技か立ち関節や立ち締めもあった 吉田さんも大人げないところがあった 柔道では反則行為である技を応用で使えるので だから木村さんはブラジリアン柔術のエリオグレイシーに勝てた

[@清水渉-v9h]

吉田秀彦、人類最強でしょ！

[@Arymug]

Great Judoca
