- YOSHIDA TO FIGHT IN PRIDE DECEMBER 31ST

MMAWeekly.com
PRIDE has announced this weekend that Naoya Ogawa will fight against Hidehiko Yoshida on December 31st for their New Year’s Eve show.

Yoshida comes into the fight with a 5-3 record and had a nice win over Tank Abbott at Pride Conflict last August. Ogawa is 7-1 in mixed martial arts and his only loss came at the hands of Fedor Emelianenko last year.

PRIDE will once again battle rival K-1 for an audience on NYE. It’s believed this match up will be a big draw for local viewers. Remember K-1 is also headlining a couple of Japanese fighters as well, as Genki Sudo is fighting Kid Yamamoto for the Lightweight belt. K-1 also has a couple of other Japanese fighters competing on the card as well.
