HIDEHIKO YOSHIDA CONSIDERS RETIRING!!

Former PRIDE veteran & Olympic Gold medalist Hidehiko Yoshida has announced that he will be taking his time to see whether or not he wants to continue fighting.

Yoshida (8-7-1), 39, has lost four of his last five fights including his most recent bout against Sanae Kikuta at Sengoku 7.

"If I'm capable of fighting, physically, I will fight again," Yoshida said after the fight. "However if I determine that my body cannot handle hard training and it's not possible for me to get a good result, I don't see any point to keep fighting. I will rest, relax and take my time figuring it out."
