    Yamanaka has a better résumé and his end of career losses came to a fight better fighter than Flores, but I can safely say that Gushiken was a far better fighter at his peak.

    Yamanaka for similar reasons George has stated. I like watching Yamanaka - he was great at adapting to his opponent and landing that crushing left.
