Yoshiki & Hideo Tokoro (155 lbs) who won his fight against Brad Pickett (155 lbs) in a Lightweight match at the Los Angeles Coliseum in Los Angeles, California. Very short clip of Yoshiki handing him the winners trophy

.

edit: and a YouTube one since eric couldn't watch it. Let's hope EliteXC aren't assholes like ZUFFA, and leave the clip there.

aaaaaaaaah thank you for the video, mark

I think he don't mind about this.. Doesn't anyone in America pronounce him as "Yosheekee" (in reference to e.g. the violet uk interview and some other overseas sources)

Thank you for this, Mark - made me really excited.

=.=... and nothing about it in the news here... Euro Sport(TV channel) sucks!

And I guess, he don't 'mind' that his name is pronounced wrong since it would be a horrible drag to tell it again and again... that makes me also wonder if everyone who's talking to him first READS his name.... <_< grrr
I mean... at least even his american "friends" are pronouncing the name wrong! I think especcially they should know how to say it the right way.

You can't expect them to pronounce his name the Japanese way. Why would they even bother finding out? They probably don't care much about him anyway.

Asians usually pronounce my name pretty weird too. Alexsuuuuu ALexsuuuuuuuu..... And don't even ask how "Alexander" usually gets pronounced

It makes me laugh that no-one knew who Yoshiki was. If that was Japan and they said "Here to give him his trophy.. Yoshiki!" everyone would go insane and freak out. but no-one there knew anything about him.. it was a dead silence. :lol:

Another pic I stole from a picture board. From the JP Dynamite broadcast I assume. At least he watched the Sakuraba vs. Gracie fight!
