Josh Koscheck A Big Favorite Over Yoshiyuki Yoshida
 |

UFC: "Fight for the Troops" will be taking place tonight, live on SpikeTV. The event will be headlined by Yoshiyuki Yoshida against Josh Koscheck in a Welterweight battle.
Can Josh Koscheck recover in time for this fight? Don't forget, Koscheck fought just six weeks ago about Thiago Alves at UFC 90: Silva vs Cote. This was a long and punishing three round fight against one of the best in the division.
Las Vegas doesn't seem too worried, as Koscheck is a -270 favorite to win the fight at this time. That means that a successful $270 wager on Koscheck would yield a total profit of $100. Yoshida, on the other hand, is currently listed at +220 to win.
Yoshida has had one fight in the UFC prior to this one - a first round submission victory over Jon Koppenhaver at UFC 84.
Moving down the list, we next have Jonathan Goulet taking on Mike Swick. Swick is the biggest favorite of any fighter on this card, as he is currently listed at -380 to win. Goulet, on the other hand, is listed at +310.
Goulet has won his last three fights in a row, including victories over Kuniyoshi Hironaka and Paul Georgieff. Goulet is probably best known for his incredibly quick knockout loss to Duane Ludwig at UFC Fight Night 3.
Swick is coming off of two consecutive decision victories against Marcus Davis and Josh Burkman, and will surely be looking to finish Goulet quickly in this fight.
Here are the rest of the fight and their odds. Enjoy the event tonight.
