{{nihongo|Yoshiro Maeda| {{Langx |ja| 前田吉朗 }}|Maeda Yoshirō|extra=born October 31, 1981}} is a Japanese mixed martial artist who currently competes in DEEP's flyweight division, and formerly fought in DEEP's bantamweight division, the latter of which he is a former champion, recently losing the title to Daiki Hata who is still the reigning champion. With a professional career spanning 10 years, Maeda has competed in notable Japanese promotions such as Pancrase, PRIDE FC and DREAM, as well as the WEC in America.

Mixed martial arts career

=Early career=

Going 0–1–2 as an amateur in 2002, Maeda made his professional debut in 2003 with a second round technical submission of Shigeyuki Umeki. Between his pro debut and 2005, Maeda racked a record of 17–2–1, with wins coming under the Pancrase and DEEP banners.

=World Extreme Cagefighting=

Following a drop in weight to the bantamweight division, Maeda debuted in the WEC with a first-round KO due to a kick to the body against King of the Cage champion, Charlie Valencia. With this win, Maeda was given a title shot against bantamweight champion, Miguel Torres.{{cite web|url=http://www.mmamania.com/2008/04/14/miguel-torres-vs-yoshiro-maeda-wec-title-fight-slated-for-june-1-exclusive|title=Miguel Torres vs. Yoshiro Maeda WEC title fight slated for June 1 (Exclusive)|publisher=MMAMania.com|date=April 14, 2008}}{{cite web|url=http://www.mmamania.com/2008/05/05/miguel-torres-vs-yoshiro-maeda-wec-34-fight-hype-video|title=Miguel Torres vs. Yoshiro Maeda WEC 34 fight hype (Video)|publisher=MMAMania.com|date=May 5, 2008}} In a back and forth battle, both men landed hard shots on the feet and exchanged submission attempts on the ground. Maeda would lose due to doctor stoppage in the third round due to severe swelling of his right eye.{{cite web|url=http://www.cagepotato.com/faber-outslugs-pulver-in-five-round-classic-at-wec-34-torres-also-retains-belt/|title=Faber Outslugs Pulver in Five-Round Classic at WEC 34; Torres Also Retains Belt|publisher=Cage Potato|date=May 6, 2008}} The fight earned Fight of the Night honors.{{cite web|url=http://mmajunkie.com/2008/06/miguel-torres-welcomes-wec-rematch-with-yoshiro-maeda|title=Miguel Torres welcomes WEC rematch with Yoshiro Maeda|publisher=MMAJunkie.com|date=June 6, 2008}}

Maeda would then face BJJ black belt, Rani Yahya, in a catchweight bout of 137 pounds at WEC 36.{{cite web|url=http://www.mmamania.com/2008/08/20/yoshiro-maeda-vs-rani-yahya-wec-fight-booked-for-hard-rock|title=Yoshiro Maeda vs. Rani Yahya WEC fight booked for Hard Rock|publisher=MMAMania.com|date=August 20, 2008}} Maeda lost by submission due to a guillotine choke in the first round. Following this loss, Maeda would be released from his WEC contract after going 1–2 in the promotion.

=DREAM=

In his first bout under the DREAM banner, Maeda defeated Micah Miller by unanimous decision.{{cite web|url=http://www.tapology.com/fightcenter/bouts/359-dream-7-yoshiro-maeda-vs-micah-the-maverick-miller|title=Yoshiro Maeda vs. Micah Miller|publisher=tapology.com|date=March 8, 2009}} Followed by a controversial first-round KO loss to Hiroyuki Takaya, he rebounded with a win over former WEC champion Chase Beebe. Once again, Maeda would lose by KO, this time to former WEC champion Cole Escovedo.{{cite web|url=http://mmafrenzy.com/13557/josh-barnett-yoshiro-maeda-vs-cole-escovedo-announced-for-dream-13/|title=Josh Barnett, Yoshiro Maeda vs. Cole Escovedo Announced for DREAM 13|publisher=mmafrenzy.com|date=March 12, 2010}} Maeda is 0-4 within DREAM since his loss to Escovedo in 2010.

=World Victory Road=

Yoshiro Maeda fought former Sengoku featherweight champion, Masanori Kanehara, in December 2010.{{cite web|url=http://bleacherreport.com/articles/546291-wec-veteran-yoshiro-maeda-vs-masanori-kanehara-added-to-sengoku-soul-of-fight|title=WEC Veteran Yoshiro Maeda Vs.
