Injury Updates On Yoshida & Fujita From PRIDE OWGP Bouts
Hidehiko Yoshida was reportedly being checked on after his 7/1 bout with Mirko CroCop, a TKO loss in one round due to leg kicks, for a broken leg and torn knee ligaments.
Kazuyuki Fujita also had some misfortune in his 7/1 fight on the PRIDE card against Vanderlei Silva. During a tight armbar attempt, Fujita suffered a broken elbow. The injury won’t require surgery, but he will miss around three months of action. PRIDE president Nobuyuki Sakikabara hopes for Fujita to be healed up enough to return for the United States debut of PRIDE on October 21.
