Yoshida definitely showed that he's not just a Japanese shoe-in. After that pathetic smother "submission" on Royce Gracie it was easy to question his credibility. When Judo is done well, it is really a beautiful thing to watch. Karo Parisyan in UFC 44 was a good example of Judo being effective.
How about Sakuraba too!? I'm happy for him, especially beating roid monster Randleman. Mirko finally felt his first loss which should be good for him. I know he's pissed off and is going to be training BJJ to death. Fedor looked happy about the result though. He's a maniac with that ground and pound and I think he'll be on top of the HW division for awhile.
