mind you, Yoon already beat Takimoto twice (out of two fights) in international judo...and choked him unconscious on one occasion with sangaku (triangle choke) 
Makoto 'sleeping pill' Takimoto is the least favorite MMA judoka for me... |
I saw that fight back when it aired on PPV in the US. I don't remember the details but I remembered it being very close and very entertaining. This was the fight that made me a Yoon fan(even sort of a Takimoto fan), and that's when I started following him. I found his comments about not wanting to go back to his home country until he wins kind of amusing, but it made me want to root for him even more.
Anyways, me wanting Yoon to fight Takimoto is more about avenging a lost and improving his poor record. It just such a eye sore that I almost want him to fight cans exclusively for his next 3 fights at the very least. And I don't think Takimoto is a can, just someone the current Yoon can definitely beat.
