Tsuyoshi Kosaka
Encyclopedia
is a Japanese
retired mixed martial artist
. He has competed in notable mixed martial arts promotions like the Ultimate Fighting Championship
, RINGS, and Pancrase
. He holds notable wins over Kimo Leopoldo
, Mario Sperry
, Volk Han
, Gilbert Yvel
and Egan Inoue
. He is one of only four fighters to defeat Fedor Emelianenko
. Kohsaka is known for his conditioning and grappling prowess as well as fighting many of the greatest heavyweight
and light heavyweight
fighters of all time. His "TK guard" is famous for its efficiency and Frank Shamrock
and Maurice Smith have both credited him with having vastly improved their work from that particular position.
and Egan Inoue
. During his career at Rings, Kohsaka defeated former UFC Heavyweight champion Maurice Smith, Gilbert Ivel, Chris Hasseman, and Fedor Emelianenko.
In 1998, Kohsaka signed with the UFC and defeated Kimo Leopoldo via Unanimous decision on his debut fight. Later that year he fought and defeated Pete Williams. This win gained Kohsaka a spot in a tournament for the title which was vacated by Randy Couture.
In 1999, Kosaka fought MMA legend Bas Rutten
in the first round of the "Road to the Heavyweight Title", which was a four man tournament that would crown the next UFC Heavyweight Champion. The fight with Rutten was the source of some controversy because John McCarthy seemed to unfairly stand the fight back to the feet even though at some moments Kohsaka was mounted on Rutten and actively landing clean effective punches. Kohsaka dominated the majority of the fight with his ground and pound game plan, but ultimately lost by TKO in overtime. Later that year he would return to fight Tim Lajcik, where he won via TKO when Lajcik quit between rounds.
He announced his intentions to retire should he lose any of his matches in 2006. On May 5, 2006, he lost to Mark Hunt
at PRIDE Total Elimination Absolute
and has not competed in MMA
since.
Late in his career he was still able to defeat Ron Waterman
and Ricardo Morais
, both of whom weighed in for their contests against him in excess of 300 pounds. One of his biggest wins arrived late in his career as well, when he knocked out Brazilian Top Team coach Mario Sperry
on the same day of his son's birth.
