According to www.kakuto.com it is Sakuraba, and according to www.adcombat.com, it is Royce Gracie. Both matches are reported as having been "confirmed". Perhaps Yoshida is taking on both on the same night? Not impossible: that has to happen in tournaments, after all. But who wants to face two MMA legends on the same night? What does it mean to say there will be "no ref stoppage" in the Royce-Yoshida fight? Part of the point of a referee is that he is supposed to know when to declare the fight over. Suppose Royce taps to an armlock (very unlikely), does that mean that the ref can't stop it and that Yoshida should just crank it till it breaks, and then keep fighting? Suppose Yoshida taps (also very unlikely), does that mean that the ref can't stop it, and Royce is allowed to beat the living hell out of him till the end of the round? Supose one of them falls unconscious, does that mean the other one can keep pounding away till the end of the round?
