Dec. 10 UFC Card Coming Together
Friday, October 10, 2008
by Sherdog.com Staff

Josh Koscheck will fight Yoshiyuki Yoshida in the main event of the UFC’s “Fight for the Troops” on Dec. 10 in Fayetteville, N.C.

The UFC announced the previously reported fight Thursday.

Since losing a unanimous decision to Georges St. Pierre in August 2007, Kosheck has won two straight and is now 9-2 in the Octagon and 11-2 overall. Yoshida (10-2) is not nearly as well known as Koscheck, but he is widely respected as a talented welterweight who could break through in the UFC.

Also on the card, Mike Swick will fight Jonathan Goulet, and Frankie Edgar will take on Matt Wiman.

The event will air live on Spike TV at 9:00 p.m. ET/6:00 p.m. PT from the Crown Coliseum.

Expected lineup:

Josh Koscheck vs. Yoshiyuki Yoshida
Mike Swick vs. Jonathan Goulet
Frankie Edgar vs. Matt Wiman
Steve Bruno vs. Johnny Rees
Eddie Sanchez vs. Justin McCully
Luigi Fioravanti vs. Brodie Farber
Ben Saunders vs. Brandon Wolff
Dale Hartt vs. Corey Hill
Nate Loughran vs. Tim Credeur
