UFC 'Fight for the Troops': Koscheck Clobbers Yoshida
Josh Koscheck (12-3) defeated Yoshiyuki Yoshida (10-3) with a vicious knockout Wednesday night at Fort Bragg during the UFC’s “Fight for the Troops” event.
Following a cautious start to the fight, Koscheck moved forward in an exhibition of extremely improved boxing skill. Although the Ultimate Fighter veteran missed the mark at first, he soon turned on the heat. Yoshida gamely landed a leg kick and tied into the clinch before Koscheck followed with four solid right hooks. Then the fighters separated momentarily.
Once back into the clash, Koscheck landed a stiff right hand punch that knocked Yoshida back into the cage. Yoshida was out on his feet and visibly confused as Koscheck powerfully ended the bout with a second straight right punch sending his Japanese opponent into unconsciousness. It was an impressive performance by Koscheck and one for the highlight reels of tomorrow.
Josh Koscheck officially won via KO at the 2:15 mark of round one.

Not really a huge Koscheck fan but was really happy to see him win this one! Beautiful ko!!! That s*** put Yoshida down for a minute!
Ha, that was an impressive KO, he was out before he hit the ground! Kos has to be growing on you a little, c’mon!
Was actually hoping Yoshida would be able to put up more of a fight. Sharp, decent guy but… couldn’t stand up to Kos.
