So i think this is big for him to get back on track. Yoshi has a good overall MMA record, but his only UFC fight was his 56 second victory over War machine. I honestly never heard of him before that fight. So this is his chance to prove if he is really a banger, or if that first UFC appearance was a fluke.

Karo's only UFC losses came to GSP, Thiago Alves and Diego Sanchez. So with the list of people he beat,and those 3 losses, you know he's no slouch, because they are all top competitors right now.

I really just started getting into MMA over the past year.... so I am playing catch up on a lot of fighters that I never saw before. But to beat people like Nick Diaz and Matt Serra.... can mean some good things. And to lose to GSP and Alves, its not like really thats a terrible thing. Both are world class, amazing fighters.
