Question 1:Ken could hold his own against Yoshida. As far as who is the winner, well they have to fight first then will find out.

Question 2: I am fan of Wandelei Silva, but i am a bigger fan of Ken. If this 2 guys go to the ring, i would root for Ken, but Wanderlei will win. 2 reasons, Silva is better in standing/striking skills, and good at stopping takedowns. The only weakness i see in Silva is if u have land one good punch, he can be rock. But he is also good at clinching after he gets rocks, just watch him against Guy Mezger and Dan Henderson. If Ken can throw some good punches against Silva like he did against Fujita, he probably have a chance of winning, but he nees to avoid Silva's clinch.

Question 3: If Royce and Ken fought for a 3rd time, if it is Pride or UFC rules, then Ken can win, but if it is a special rule requested by Royce, 30 minutes or more, then Royce can win. Ken will probably train harder not just on striking or submission skills but also with his cardio if this fight ever happens. Royce might last 30 min or an hour, but remember his superfight against Ken and his fight against Sakuraba, he had to be carried. So, both fighters cardio are in question.

Question 4: Only millions of dollars can bring Rickson to fight today, not only against Ken, but also Silva, Bas Rutten, and Marco Ruas. Is Rickson a top mma fighter? his a legend in BJJ but no, his not a top mma fighter.

Question 5: Royce has a chance against today's fighter in his weight class, but against BJ Penn, Dan Hederson, Bustamante, its probabaly slim. Against Newton, Matt Hughes, 50/50 chance. Against Phil Baroni, Tanner, Rich Franklin, Royce has a better chance of winning. Some of u probably will ask twhy Royce can beat Franklin, i said yes, because i don't know how good Rich Franklin's grappling skills abd his stopping of takedowns..

Question 6: Is Ken done as a top fighter, we can say yes because he has lost to Ortiz, Franklin, and Sakuraba, but he believes that he as a couple of years left, so only time will tell if he is done. He might have a slim chance of winning against Ortiz, but that slim chance might prevail against Tito.
Ken is not overrated. Look at the people that he fought and won.
Pancrase: Fujita, Rutten, Maurice Smith,
UFC: Dan Severn, Brian Johnston, Patrick Smith, Kimo
and the draw against Taktarov, if there were judges, Ken would have gotten the decision. Even the boring superfight against Royce, the decision will go to Ken. The lost against Fujita, Ken said his heart was beating fast, but he dominated the fight. Fujita did not do any damage to Ken.
