Wow! Check it out! Another Hawaiian fighter is making it to the UFC! Brandon Wolf is scheduled to fight a very well established Japanese fighter, Yoshida Yoshiyuki, at UFC 98 on May 23rd, 2009. Considering that Wolf has a 7-4 record compared to Yoshida's 10-3, I don't quite know if this is the best match up, but we'll see.
Yoshida has only fought in the UFC twice, winning against War Machine with surprising ease but getting KO'd against Josh Koscheck. Wolf has only fought in the UFC once, losing to Ben Saunders in the same event Yoshida suffered his loss, UFC - Fight for the troops.
Considering that both are coming back from losses that were less than spectacular performance-wise, this fight is probably a chance for one of them to shine again and prove he is worth keeping in the Octagon. The other....maybe not so much. Of course, if they both manage to put up a spectacular fight, they might both be able to stay in the UFC.
I'm rooting for both of them..although maybe slightly more for Yoshida. Let's wish both of them the best of luck!
I got the news from The Official MMA Agents Blog. The actual article can be found at MMAHawaii.com.
