UFC : Koscheck KO's Yoshida

UFC welterweight Josh Koscheck delivered his most impressive knockout victory for one of the UFC's most important events.
The former collegiate wrestling champion continued his stand-up improvement with a stunning first-round knockout of Yoshiyuki Yoshida.
The fight capped off Wednesday's "UFC Fight Night 16: UFC Fights for the Troops" event at the Crown Coliseum in Fayetteville, N.C. The Spike TV-televised event was held in conjunction with the Fort Bragg military institution and served as a fundraiser for the Intrepid Fallen Heroes Fund.
In the night's featured bout, Koscheck patiently awaited his opening and eventually tagged his opponent with a big right hand. Yoshida was out on his feet, and Koscheck's follow-up, fight-ending blow sent Yoshida to the mat to force the stoppage at the 2:15 mark.
"It was a nice, straight right hand," Koscheck said after the fight. "I knew he was looking for the overhand right a lot, so I just focused on throwing straight punches."
Prior to the victory, Koscheck was just 2-2 in his previous four fights, which included an October unanimous-decision loss to Thiago Alves. It was Koscheck's second failed opportunity to earn a title shot, though this latest victory puts him right back in the championship hunt.
Yoshida (10-3 MMA, 1-1 UFC), meanwhile, suffered his first loss in 10 fights and three years.
